TransIP has been an ambassador of OpenStack since 2013, is a member of the Open Infra Foundation and remains active in the local community.

Redundant infrastructure

Redundance is built into all the layers of our infrastructure. Our platfom is spread out across three state of the art, self-sufficient datacenters. Between the datacenters, our connectivity capacity is extensive (120 Gbps).

Apart from that, within each datacentre we have a software solution for storage capacity which allows the simultaneous storage of 3 copies of your data, spread out over three different racks.

Programmable infrastructure

OpenStack is easily managed through the userfriendly Horizon dashboard. For more advanced users, the OpenStack API is available via command line, which allows you to preprogram actions such as automatic up- and downscaling of instances or the frequency of your snapshots.

OpenStack is also easily combined with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform. 

No vendor lock-in

With OpenStack, you have the freedom to choose your own cloud deployment strategy. Enjoy transparent and well-documented automation options, without getting stuck in a vendor lock-in. 

Infrastructure-as-Code

OpenStack allows you to use the DevOps methods and open source tools you already have in daily rotation. Think Infrastructure-as-Code applications, such as Terraform, that allow you to deliver a deployment quickly and repeatedly.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a public cloud?

    Public cloud is a collective name for computing power you acquire from a third party. This can mean services like online storage, platforms to work with your own virtual server, or even complete digital infrastructures. 

  • What is the difference between a public and a private cloud?

    Private cloud is the opposite of a public cloud: you manage your infrastructure, on location or via a hosting provider with dedicated hardware. 

  • What are public cloud platforms?

    Public cloud platforms are external service providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform. At TransIP, we offer public cloud hosting via OpenStack.
