ENTERPRISE CLOUD – Clients can add a virtual machine with speci�c RAM & SAN ad-hoc with LightEdge helpdesk in just minutes. Clients who have a resource pool can deploy their own VMs and allocate resources in real time & increasing one’s aggregate resource pool only takes minutes via LightEdge Helpdesk, as well.

BARE METAL CLOUD – New clients are typically deployed in just a few days. Depending on requirements, some additional lead time may be needed for specialized equipment/connectivity. LightEdge is a business-focused IT resource operating in an ISO 20000 & ITIL best practices environment.

PRIVATE CLOUD – With a consultative engagement & de�ning of requirements typically required, these custom cloud solutions are generally available within a few weeks.

HYBRID CLOUD – This environment is more complex and needs to be architected to optimize the compute, cost & security attributes of the client’s unique business, applications & networking requirements for both Private and Public environments. Delivery is largely dependent the number of variables, business rules, networking & automation requirements.
