So what is ZC2™?

Based on a best-in-class hyperconverged infrastructure, ZC2™ Cloud offers IaaS, PaaS, LBaaS, S3 and other cloud services such as Kubernetes.

Public Cloud

Scalable, pay-as-you-go cloud: easy to use, easy to manage, rapid self-service and flexible billing.

Virtual Machines

ZC2™ Hybrid Cloud provides flexible virtual machine tailored for managed services with multiple networking options, performance options, storage tiers and security features.

Kubernetes as a Service

Kubernetes as a Service allows you to get a production Kubernetes cluster in a minute.

Load Balancer as a Service

Integrated Load Balancer helps to manage traffic for high performance web services based on virtual machines or Kubernetes applications.

Private Cloud

Hosted or on-premises private cloud for workloads with more demanding performance or security needs.

Kubernetes as a Service

Containers and apps with our intuitive provisioning and metering tools – same platform, same UI.

Automatically scale them vertically and horizontally easily achieving high availability across data centers. New workers are automatically connected to the cluster.

Built-in SSL for protecting ingress network.

Kubernetes Web UI dashboard.

HELM package manager for auto-installing pre-configured solutions.

Application Platform for WordPress

Traditional shared hosting cannot deliver the performance and scalability your customers need. It’s harder to manage, too. With ZC2™ you can simplify your operations and deliver exceptional performance to your business or customers at the same time.

Automatic vertical scaling

Automatic horizontal scaling

Automatic clustering

Better page load time

More requests per second

Storage as a Service

S3 object storage, file and block storage services – reducing your investment in legacy storage.

The support of Software-Defined Storage (SDS) helps to set up redundancy for optimal performance and protection. Being configured across five or more hardware nodes, fault-tolerant SDS distributes the data across the cluster, so it can be accessed even if a part of hardware fails. In this case, the data is going to be automatically restored on the active nodes in the cluster.Built-in replication and automated load balancing ensures data safety, scalability to meet the needs of the project, and reduce manual operations.

How we bill for services

Resources’ consumption statistic is aggregated over the month for eachsubscription summarized and invoiced. The following items are used to calculatebilling:

Provisioned vCPU per hour

Provisioned vRAM per hour

Provisioned Storage per hour

Public IP per hour

Load Balancers per hour

Windows instances per vCPU per hour

Outgoing traffic

A provisioned resource is one that belongs to an existing running orstopped virtual machine or in case of public IP or Load Balancer respectiveobject if such objects exist in the project.

We support two billing models: pay-as-you-grow (PAYG) and reservation.

PAYG
Each usage metric gets aggregating per hour so that if there is any usageduring the hour of such resource it consider to be used. For example: 1 vCPU VMwith 1GB of vRAM and 10GB of storage was running for 10 hours and after that itwas deleted. This will account as 10 vCPU/h + 10 vGB/h + 100 GB/h for storage.

Reservation
In this case you can prepay for desired resources and get a discount.
