In addition to the above, you can custom-create templates for operating systems your VMs may require.
OS Templates should be stored in SAN HDD storage.
Any provided images will consume billable storage capacity.
Utilizing SAN enables the scalability of the storage space, allowing you to add additional capacity as needed:
Capabilities
Example Use Case
Ideal for organizations needing to tailor CPU and RAM configurations to match specific performance and cost objectives without overprovisioning.
Suitable for environments running a smaller number of virtual machines (VMs) that require precise resource allocation. Perfect for specialized applications or workloads that don't fit into standard configurations.
Enables developers to create multiple virtual environments with customizable settings for testing across various configurations and operating systems. Facilitates efficient development and QA processes without the need for additional hardware investment.
Allows businesses to avoid unnecessary expenses by configuring only the resources they need. Ideal for non-profits or startups aiming to modernize IT infrastructure with virtualization while keeping operational costs low.
Provides an affordable solution for implementing disaster recovery plans for businesses with a limited number of VMs. Utilizes services like Veeam Backups and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) without the overhead of large-scale deployments.
A large e-commerce company experiences heavy and unpredictable web traffic, especially during peak shopping seasons. They need to ensure consistent performance for their website and backend systems to maintain a positive user experience. Rapid scalability is crucial to handle traffic spikes without compromising performance.
By deploying Aptum's Private Cloud with Scale vHosts, the enterprise secures consistent, high-performance infrastructure. The ability to quickly scale by adding standardized Scale vHosts allows them to handle sudden traffic spikes efficiently. Additionally, VMware Cloud Director simplifies administration across multiple virtual data centers, improving operational efficiency and resource management.

A regional retail chain wants to gain real-time insights by integrating its existing inventory management system with cloud-based analytics tools. They need to improve decision-making and operational efficiency without overhauling their entire IT infrastructure. Additionally, they face seasonal traffic spikes and require a scalable solution to manage increased demand.
By adopting Aptum's Private Cloud as part of a hybrid cloud strategy and utilizing Scale vHosts, the retail chain connects its on-premises systems to cloud services using Cloud Connectivity Services. This integration enhances decision-making and operational efficiency. To handle seasonal traffic spikes, they keep core operations in the Private Cloud while leveraging hyperscale resources to manage increased demand. Utilizing Aptum’s Scale vHosts, they efficiently scale their eCommerce platform across multiple virtual machines and geographies, allowing them to expand into new regions as their business grows.
Geography and rapid scale requirements combined with scale of the customer and their target workloads require Scale vHosts to deliver.
A large company delivering private virtual solutions across multiple geographic regions needs to manage 1,000 VMs to serve their customers. They face challenges with changes in licensing models that could make their current platform unsustainable. They also want to avoid the capital expenditures and staffing costs associated with deploying equipment in new regions.
By leveraging Aptum's Scale vHosts, the company can scale its presence into new geographies seamlessly. The standardized configurations enable them to expand workloads without worrying about licensing model changes. Aptum's solution helps them avoid costly capital expenses for equipment deployments and reduces the need for additional staff to manage and maintain infrastructure in regions where they do not currently operate. This approach allows them to focus on delivering their services efficiently while relying on Aptum's enterprise-grade, scalable platform.
The size and scale of this requires a rapid deployment model with modular systems that can quickly scale out to meet the demand, which aligns well with the Scale vHosts solutions.between regions
A bi-coastal law firm handling sensitive legal documents requires stringent security measures and low-latency access for their legal teams across multiple locations. They need a secure, dedicated environment that ensures confidential client information is protected while providing efficient access for their staff.
By deploying their applications on Aptum's Private Cloud for VMware using Scale vHosts, the law firm gains a secure, enterprise-grade environment with standardized configurations designed for quick scaling. The Scale vHosts keep information close to their teams, reducing latency. To enhance their security posture, they implement Managed Firewalls, VPNs, Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services, Veeam Backups, and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), ensuring comprehensive protection against cyber threats while maintaining efficient access.
The geographic locations and need for high performance, enterprise grade solutions, combined with quick scaling, low latency to their office in the geographies needed, and redundant locations led to using a Scale vHost solution.
A boutique financial advisory firm in a hurricane-prone region must safeguard client data and ensure uninterrupted service, even during natural disasters. They need a disaster recovery solution that replicates critical systems in a secure location.
The firm leverages Aptum's Flex vHosts alongside Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) and Veeam Backups. This setup allows them to replicate essential systems to another geographic location, ensuring business continuity in unforeseen events.
The smaller design and setup align with Flex vHosts. Had this been scaled up by company size and coverage areas needed, Scale vHosts may have fit.
“Before we partnered with Aptum, we felt like we were being treated unfairly, like a small fish in a large pond, and we were not getting the attention we deserved with our previous provider. We were put in contact with the team at Aptum and from our first interaction, we knew we were getting the time and attention we needed to achieve our business goals.”
“The experience is that things just work. When there’s something to be done, it’s done quickly, and it’s done right first time. Don’t underestimate the number of organizations out there, particularly in IT support, that just miss the mark.”
