The cloud is designed to offer a centralized
platform on which applications and services can be delivered to any
internet-connected devices, compared to standard web hosting plans that are
often designed for the hosting of websites and web applications only. eNlightfrom ESDS is a scalable platform that businesses of all sizes can take
advantage of for their corporate hosting needs as you can host as many virtual
machines as you require with us and the availability of resources guarantees
that you will be able to match your VMs with the resource assignments that you
deem as necessary for the stable running of your cloud servers. Scalability
isn’t available with other forms of web hosting and with the eNlight cloud it
is instant because you can purchase additional CPU power and other resources
for your virtual machines and these will be instantly provisioned to your VMs
upon completion of your order; if your servers are facing high loads then this
puts you in a position where you can remedy the situation immediately by
ordering the resources that your server requires in order to keep up with
demand.

One of your main intentions for choosing cloud
hosting is likely to be the room that you will have for expansion; this is
necessary to ensure that you can grow your website to keep visitor numbers
growing and to improve the percentage of returning visitors that you receive.
The eNlight cloud can assist with this in the following manners:
- The cloud provides a large centralized pool of resources that can be used to allocate additional capacity to virtual machines when necessary; you can either purchase resources when you need them, or enable auto-scaling (i.e. Vertical and Horizontal Scaling) so that this is done for you when the load on your virtual machines increases.
- A dedicated environment is present that will allow you to install the applications and services necessary to improve the functionality of your website; every so often businesses wish to take advantage of additional modules and services that can be used in addition to the scripting language that has been used during the development of their website and this additional functionality can often yield highly satisfactory results.
- Web-based management is provided for your eNlight virtual machines so that you can control the state of and the resources allocated to them through an intuitive interface that is accessible from any operating system.
Compared to web hosting, the eNlight cloud from
ESDS can provide you with a greater level of uptime, which we rate at 99.95%
each month. Full support is available 24×7 so that you can have assistance with
the setup and configuration of your virtual machines where necessary.
