UCView Scalable Digital Signage Computing Cloud
UCView Elastic Compute Cloud Powered by Amazon and other computer clouds services is a digital signage web service that provides resizable digital signage compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make your digital signage solution scale from 1 to thousands of players.
UCView simple digital signage web portal interface allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. It provides you with complete control of your digital signage resources and lets you run on proven computing cloud environment.
Amazon EC2 and other computer clouds services reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances to minutes, allowing you to quickly scale capacity, both up and down, as your digital signage network requirements change. Digital signage computer cloud changes the economics of computing by allowing you to pay only for the traffic and capacity that your players actually use. UCView digital signage computing cloud provides network owners the tools to build failure resilient digital signage infrastructure and isolate themselves from common failure scenarios.
UCView Digital signage computing cloud presents a true virtual digital signage environment, allowing you to use our web based portal and scale as your network grow, access permissions, and run your players using as many or few organization as you desire.
Elastic – UCView Digital Signage cloud enables you to increase or decrease capacity within minutes, not hours or days. You can commission one, hundreds or even thousands of digital signage server instances simultaneously. Of course, because this is all controlled with web service APIs, your application can automatically scale itself up and down depending on its needs.
Completely Controlled – You have complete control of your digital server instances. You have root access to each one, and you can interact with them as you would any machine. Instances can be rebooted remotely using UCView web service APIs.
Reliable – UCView powered by computing cloud offers a highly reliable environment where replacement instances can be rapidly and predictably commissioned. The service runs within Amazon’s or other proven network infrastructure and datacenters. The Service Level Agreement commitment is 99.95% availability for each Region.
Features for Building Failure Resilient digital signage infrastructure – UCView provides users powerful features to build failure resilient applications including:
Features to build failure resilient digital signage infrastructure including:
- Computing cloud Elastic Block Store –Elastic Block Store (EBS) offers persistent storage for computing cloud instances. EBS volumes provide off-instance storage that persists independently from the life of an instance. EBS volumes are highly available, highly reliable volumes that can be attached to a running computing cloud instance and are exposed as standard block devices. EBS volumes offer greatly improved durability over local computing cloud instance stores, as
- EBS volumes are automatically replicated on the backend (in a single Availability Zone). For those wanting even more durability, EBS provides the ability to create point-in-time consistent snapshots of your volumes that are then stored in storage server, and automatically replicated across multiple Availability Zones. These snapshots can be used as the starting point for new EBS volumes, and can protect your data for long term durability.
- Multiple Locations – computing cloud provides the ability to place instances in multiple locations. Computing cloud locations are composed of Regions and Availability Zones. Availability Zones are distinct locations that are engineered to be insulated from failures in other Availability Zones and provide inexpensive, low latency network connectivity to other Availability Zones in the same Region. By launching instances in separate Availability Zones, you can protect your applications from failure of a single location. Regions consist of one or more Availability Zones, are geographically dispersed, and will be in separate geographic areas or countries. The computing cloud Service Level Agreement commitment is 99.95% availability for each Region. Computing cloud is currently available in two regions: one in the US and one in Europe.
- Elastic IP Addresses – Elastic IP addresses are static IP addresses designed for dynamic cloud computing. An Elastic IP address is associated with your account not a particular instance, and you control that address until you choose to explicitly release it. Unlike traditional static IP addresses, however, Elastic IP addresses allow you to mask instance or Availability Zone failures by programmatically remapping your public IP addresses to any instance in your account. Rather than waiting on a data technician to reconfigure or replace your host, or waiting for DNS to propagate to all of your customers, computing cloud enables you to engineer around problems with your instance or software by quickly remapping your Elastic IP address to a replacement instance.
- Secure – UCView Computing cloud provides web service interfaces to configure firewall settings that control network access to and between groups of instances.
- Inexpensive – UCView passes on to you the financial benefits of computing cloud’s scale. You pay a very low rate for the compute capacity you actually consume.
