Why you should consider migrating to UpCloud

Moving data, applications and IT processes require a lot of preparation and advance work which in turn demands a good understanding of the challenges involved from the business management. Regardless of whether you are looking to move from on-premise hosting or from one cloud provider to another, migrating will be a big step not taken lightly. To help you, we created a Cloud migration cookbook where we are:

With this knowledge, we hope to help you decide on migrating to UpCloud!

During the free cloud migration period, we charge you no service costs.

Software-defined networking

SDN is a major step in futureproofing our network by moving away from old rigid routes and configurations.

The new approach brings a lot of flexibility in the configuration of your cloud infrastructure.

Introducing MaxIOPS

The need for high-performance data storage, with greater flexibility and reliability, was clear. After researching the various offerings on the market, we decided to develop our own storage technology. This resulted in MaxIOPS, the fastest and most reliable storage technology in cloud computing!

9 November 2014

No more confusion regarding IOPS pricing

The “price per IO requests” that was prevalent in the early days of cloud computing (and still is among certain giants) felt too cumbersome for the end-user, and it created a lot of confusion regarding what the cost will finally end up with. So we decided to simply drop it, which made it a lot easier for our users to feel confident about their spending.
