Private Cloud

Let’s build the ideal cloud stack to cost-effectively meet the needs of your employees, customers, and partners.

  • Log/event review and issue mitigation

  • Applying operating system and application patches and service packs
  • Account creation and maintenance
  • Managing disk space, including provisioning new disks
  • Volume restores

“Talk to someone like Deft and say, ‘We’re currently spending a million dollars a year on AWS, could we spend $200 grand instead?’ Before you go laying off people, make sure your servers are straight. Don’t go fiddling away all that payroll on a bunch of rental servers.”

–David Heinemeier Hansson
Co-founder of 37signals

Managing Costs

Worried about the cloud and its runaway costs?

As costs go up and budgets need tightening, cloud deployments are being scrutinized — and public cloud repatriation is happening in force.

Organizations that once relied on major public clouds to test and grow found that the costs far exceeded their expectations.

A private cloud from Deft allows you to realize the cost-savings of owning — not renting — your infrastructure, without needing people on-site or sacrificing the quality of your services.

“We had to migrate over 225 Windows and Linux servers and convert 30 discrete site-to-site VPN connections in under six months. Making it even more complex, the effort spanned multiple teams at three separate companies, and there was a reliance on individual customer resources for site-to-site VPN cutovers. We definitely could not have done this without Deft.”
