Cloud Services

Wavecom Solutions is Hawaii’s only network-based cloud service provider, and also operates in Singapore.  And WaveFlex Enterpriseis our innovative, private, dedicated cloud computing IaaS solution.  In this fully managed cloud computing service your dedicated WaveFlex CASE (Compute and Storage Environment) is deployed to your specific requirements.  It is open, elastic, and accessible, and it can be entirely survivable.

We can install your CASE in our carrier-grade data centers, in the data center of your choice, or directly on your premise.  In addition, you can choose to replicate your virtual infrastructure in more than one location, enabling you to build a robust disaster recovery and business continuity platform, as well. 

At its heart, cloud computing is a technology that centralizes the critical compute and storage resources. For those familiar with the history of computing, this description may trigger comparisons to the mainframe paradigm. But we think it is the differences from mainframes that are most compelling. In short, we think the cloud`s foundational characteristics drive its value: It is Elastic, Virtual, Open, Accessible, and Survivable. Those are the key phrases that you will want to keep in mind when assessing how cloud services can bolster your business, and when discussing cloud services with your service provider.

Traditionally, resources are sized to the peak utilization regardless of normal operating conditions. In a successful cloud environment, you can scale up to the peak and back again on demand, enabling continuous right-sizing.

Virtualization in the cloud is making a portion of something whole appear as a self-contained entity. Utilized in the past to drive internal infrastructure efficiencies, virtualization has been a catalyst for cloud services. By exposing the virtual container to the "outside world", cloud providers have turned these internal efficiencies into third-party benefits.

Unlike the ongoing debates between open source and proprietary solutions we like to view the Openness of the cloud as the ability to support a "choice" of environment. Contrast this to the mainframe days, where we were restricted to the manufacturers environment. Cloud providers like Amazon have opened up their platforms with Application Programming Interfaces (API) allowing for integration with private computing environments.

Cloud services are highly accessible; often, all it takes is an Internet connection. Moreover, this ease of accessibility is driving innovation from the cloud, and enabling cloud providers to offer disruptive pricing for services to differentiate their offerings from premise-based solutions. Consequently, enterprises and consumers have an unprecedented number of solutions to choose from that just a few years ago would have been economically out of reach.
