ProfitBricks – The IaaS Company

• Founded in 2010 by Achim Weiss and Andreas Gauger

• Self-funded & 30% from United Internet ($3B Revenue, Frankfurt: UTDI) HQs: Berlin, Germany and Boston, MA

• We are delivering IaaS 2.0

• 100+ engineers from 12 nations developing for over 2 ½ years. GA release in Germany 3 month ago, formal US release with this show!

• Already thousands of VMs and storage devices deployed in US and EU data centers.

Where is IaaS today – 1.0 ?

• Existing clouds still force customers to chose packages and plans…

• Existing clouds vary widely in their performance…

• Existing clouds offer relatively small instances…

• Existing clouds still have local attached storage…

• Existing clouds have slow storage…

• Existing clouds have flat networks…

• Existing clouds are hard to manage

4

• Forced to Scale out vs. Scale up

• Suffer from shared cores, CPUs, networks

• Legacy cloud providers and hosters force customers to select from limited server sizes, limited network throughput

• Your architecture has to adopt to the provider – “you can’t have it your way”

• Waste infrastructure budgets and CPU hours

What does this mean for the customer?

5

• Flexible Networking

• Flexible Instances

• Big Instances

• High Performance

• True Utility Computing

• Live Vertical Scalability

• Minute based billing – pay only for what you use

• Graphical Data Center Designer – for Ease of Use

So, What’s Missing Today?
