Ideas. Control. Convenience. Technology. Solutions. The foundation of the world’s most advanced on-demand hosting provider is quite simple. But revolution is anything but easy. And it doesn’t happen overnight.
Since 2005, SoftLayer has defined advancement, embraced change and cast aside convention in order to create a customer-centric hosting service unlike any other. One that puts the power in the hands of our customers through a host of best-in-class server management solutions and industry-first technological capabilities.
The core of our innovation lies within our customer portal. Assembled out of necessity, constructed from control, our proprietary network-within-the-network design makes those other one-size-fits-all server solutions a thing of the past. Now, customers can separate network traffic by purpose - giving them the ease of use of a public network and the security of a private one. Customers come in the front door, workers through the rear.
But with SoftLayer, meeting the needs of now is not enough. The dedication we have for tomorrow yields tremendous opportunities for our customers today. Our optional infrastructure management API turns over control to the customer like never before. This first-of-its-kind cross-platform framework allows customers to access and manage their servers anytime, any place and anywhere … with the management software of their choice and without the typical security concerns.
Standardized dedicated hosting, service oriented architectures, infrastructure management systems, on-demand hosting solutions, remote management solutions, virtualized datacenter management – and that’s just the beginning.
From the top down, our infrastructure was designed to facilitate a solution. Whether SaaS, HaaS, CaaS, VAR, VSP, ISP, GSP, virtualization or grid utility; we’ve got you covered.
We offer customers world-class datacenter capabilities including the most advanced services, management convenience, and administration features ever assembled to manage the outsourced IT environment. Our goal is to make your business better.
We are SoftLayer. Pleasure to meet you.
The SoftLayer Difference As your business needs change, your IT strategy must follow. Through unique planning and design; management, control, custom installations, ancillary services, and upgrades / downgrades are easily achieved.
SoftLayer brings customers a virtual IT environment with superior datacenter, bandwidth, networking, security, hardware, software, application, monitoring and management services. The foundation of this service resides in the control, management and flexibility of your IT environment and the ability to adapt and change that environment at any time without service interruption.
