Who we are

DigitalRibbon is a private hybrid cloud delivering dramatic cost saving solutions associated with the challenges of spiking digital compute demand. With a secure private cloud we provide high end cloud bursting to handle all your capacity needs.

What we do

We make available economical, on-demand computing capacity (cloud bursting) for clients with irregular compute demand. Through key private cloud partnerships, we maintain sufficient cloud capacity to assure fluid, economical project production based on precise on-demand delivery, maximizing talent productivity and extending your internal data resources without incremental capital hardware expense. Our objective is to optimize the clients effective utilization rate (cost) and its data center ROI.

Getting Started

We can evaluate your needs and current resources in order to propose a comfortable and economical plan to improve production efficiency, speed, and costs. In many cases we can offer a no-cost sample of our services.We also offer pricing for multiple service level agreements (SLAs) to met your price and demand requirements.

We focus on providing high performance cloud compute; for example, we can comfortably handle 10 days of 8/32 _ 4000 wide or simply 6/16 _ 7 wide for 10 weeks. Our smallest Virtual instance is 4/8 and largest is 24/256. We can scale beyond 5,000 VMs wide and provide custom pipeline integration while rarely charging for bandwidth or storage*.

At DigitalRibbon, cloud bursting is not just a lofty idea. It is our business.

About us

Value Delivered

Founded in 2001, DigitalRibbon was a pioneer in engineering cluster/grid based computing solutions in the high performance sector. Since then it has evolved into a highly versatile independent private cloud, with compute products and solutions which are compatible with your existing applications and integrate seamlessly into your existing I.T. infrastructure. DigitalRibbon will allow you to be more nimble and flexible, leverage project talent, foster innovation and accelerate time to market; all while dramatically improving effective utilization of your data center and reducing project costs.

Largest Online Simulation

"DigitalRibbon Conducts Largest Online Gaming Simulation Ever. With the 6th fastest computer in the world, Digital Ribbon simulated over 120,000 concurrent users to stress test on Quazal online gaming platform." -Microsoft White Paper

"The stress testing was definitely a life-saver. We found all kinds of issues ahead of time and were able to optimize a ton of stuff before going live." - Eran Egozy VP of Engineering at Harmonix Music Systems.

451 Analyst Report : May 11, 2011

"The name DigitalRibbon represents the ubiquity of computing likening it to a ribbon of ones and zeros circling the world and affecting our lives in many ways."

The 451: Analyst take

"We've said before that the correct way to deliver HPC in the cloud is to build an HPC facility, and then wrap it in a cloud business model."

iSGTW Feature - Enter the age of computer merchants

"Computing is moving towards becoming a commodity, says Erik Weaver, Digital Ribbons CEO. However it is much more complex than the oft-cited example of electricity.

Having more options could be a great advantage to users. We are always looking for ways to link user communities, applications and resource providers, says Bob Jones, project director of EGEE.

As a step towards smoothing the way for EGEE and Digital Ribbon collaboration, the WISDOM collaboration ran a test run early this summer, using gLite middleware on Digital Ribbon resources.

This successful test with WISDOM shows that applications within EGEE can run well on Digital Ribbon resources, says Jones. Now we can see if other user communities might benefit."

Technology

Cloud Bursting

What if you could have unlimited, economical, reliable, secure compute capacity on demand? At the same time saving your project or enterprise incremental capital expenditures associated with new servers, connectivity and storagewhile enjoying the freedom from maintenance or deployment chores? All while keeping your creative team on focus, without interruption for maximum productivity?

Now you can.

By leveraging preexisting cloud structures to maximize your internal compute, DRI can take your project power to peak levels at prices that will improve you data center bottom line.

At Digital Ribbon, cloud bursting is not just a lofty idea. It is our business.

Cloud Resources

The DRI Private Cloud offers the massive scalability benefits of a public cloud such as EC2 or Azure but offers the control and security required for a large corporate enterprise. DRI walks you through the phases of need, testing and deployment. Then simply allows you to expand as your internal needs require. Benefits include:

- Personalized levels of security and control.

- Customized set up and integration.

- Interoperability between DRI resources.

- Resource and cost Transparency.

- Cost savings; Measurable ROI enhancement.

- Large Scalability: saves incremental capital expenditures.

- VMs that can scale from 4/8 to 24/256

- SLAs to met your budget and capacity requirements.

Our capacity typically comes in the form of a VM (Virtual Machine) much like EC2 (Amazon) or Softlayer, however the focus of our compute is not simple web hosting but larger enterprise solutions and digital products.

*We do not offer webhosting solutions.

Welcome to DigitalRIbbon Inc.

We make available economical, on-demand computing capacity (cloud bursting) for clients world-wide.

Cloud bursting is an application deployment model in which an application runs in a private cloud or data center and bursts into a public cloud when the demand for computing capacity spikes. The advantage of such a hybrid cloud deployment is that an organization only pays for extra compute resources when they are needed.

Our main approach is:1Assess readiness, understand needs and identify a best solution. 2Create a pilot or prototype and develop a long-term strategy with cost saving price structure. Deploy new cloud based capacity for your consumption.3 Cost Comparisons.pdf Choose department to contact:
