Deploy on-demand in AWS and achieve up to 90% cost savings – especially if you’re using PIOPS today
Rock solid reliability
The Sunlight Dashboard provides a single, beautiful UI to configure and manage infrastructure, and access fine-grained reporting on performance from the datacentre down to individual component level.
Minimise licence costs with precise execution control
Sunlight not only provides host and CPU affinity rules for resource groups, but with CPU pinning can provide a 100% guarantee that workloads will only run on specific physical cores. Audit reports can provide evidence of these facts for licence negotiations and audits.
Granular control of failover
Set failover policies at the VM and vCPU level in Sunlight with physical location awareness at the host, rack and zone level – preventing concentration risk for your key workloads.
Embedded fault tolerance
Fault tolerance is embedded at the core of the Sunlight platform. VMs will failover to alternative nodes, Sunlight SDS storage will failover to redundant drives and Sunlight SDN networking will revert to a good path – all automatically in milliseconds based on policies you control.
Reduce your datacenter footprint
Sunlight’s ability to get the most out of your high performance hardware means fewer server are required, reducing your overall hardware spend, datacenter footprint, maintenance and power costs.
Low the TCO of your application infrastructure
Sunlight provides the most cost-effective means to build a high performance infrastructure. Because high performance hardware performs like bare metal, hardware costs are kept to a minimum and licence costs for application software based on memory or CPU are minimised.
