The Challenge for Startups and Entrepreneurs

Startups and Entrepreneurs often have a limited budget, bandwidth, and resources. You rely on the flexibility of cloud services but find you are spending precious time managing these services yourself.

You don’t want to look through pages of cloud offerings to decipher what you need but you also don’t want to get locked into a relationship with a vendor.

Relax, You’re in Good Hands

CipherSpace understands you’re working on a budget at a fast pace with pivoting needs. With years of networking experience, we can create the best setup for your situation and grow it with you. Instead of researching various cloud offerings, or keeping track of expiring free trials, pick up the phone, or shoot us an email telling us a little about yourself.

Our goal is to help you stay lean and focused by paying attention to and optimizing your technology needs. When you work with CipherSpace you inherit a team of clever engineers at your beck and call. That’s peace of mind.

A Successful Startup

scrible is a startup focused on engaging students, educators, and professionals with its modern research platform. With increased activity post-launch, they quickly recognized the need to architect their deployment infrastructure to ensure the availability, scalability, and performance of our platform.

The Challenge

scrible thrives in the startup culture and has a tech team that continuously challenges itself by questioning and improving their development and deployment architecture. In their early evaluation, they realized that amazon web services (AWS) didn’t provide adequate flexibility along with predictable performance needed to reconfigure their deployment infrastructure [that can] to keep pace with their evolving architecture. They needed the ability to custom-configure and re-purpose computing resources to align with their technology and business growth.

What we did

CipherSpace acknowledged the necessity of a cloud deployment construct that would guarantee performance and allow scrible’s tech team to experiment with various deployment architectures to optimize resource utilization.

We suggested a Private virtual Data Center (PvDC), a dedicated single data center virtualization platform that assured scrible the performance they needed and provided the flexibility to re-purpose available resource pool of CPU cores, memory and storage any time they needed without adding any additional cost.

CipherSpace worked with scrible’s team to empower them with a mix of a self-service cloud and monitoring of critical production services to give them the flexibility they desired.

Business impact:

• Fixed and predictable spending on Enterprise Cloud
• Empowered technical team
• Faster time-to-market for new features
