Intalio|Cloud

Intalio|Cloud is the first integrated cloud computing platform designed for the Enterprise. It leverages a unique combination of hardware and software to deliver an enterprise-grade cloud computing experience.

Introduction

The Intalio|Cloud Ecosystem

Intalio|Cloud is designed for large organizations — Global 2,000 companies, federal and state governments — that want to become Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers to serve the needs of their constituencies — subsidiaries, divisions, departments, customers, partners, agencies — while keeping control over their IT infrastructure.

Intalio|Cloud Architecture

Intalio|Cloud is architected as a stack made of three layers:

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Layer
This layer is deployed on top of commodity hardware (blade servers typically), and is responsible for providing elastic compute and storage utilities in a multi-tenant manner. Unlike traditional SaaS applications that rely on database virtualization for multi-tenancy, Intalio|Cloud takes advantage of the recent progresses made with hardware virtualization (VMWare, Xen, etc.) and database partitioning for delivering an infinitely scalable and highly secure multi-tenant platform.

Platform as a Service (PaaS) Layer
This layer provides a set of application engines used to develop the most complex enterprise applications. The PaaS layer also provides a set of development tools for architects, developers, and end users, as well as a collection of multi-tenancy services (Security, User Management, Metering & Billing, etc.).

Software as a Service (SaaS) Layer
This layer provides a set of pre-built applications that can be used as is, or as templates for developing custom applications.
