5. Proof of concept
Filmweb started out with an ASP Hotel, and later established their local dedicated platform.
Reduce your implementation time
|
| Our Escenic ASP hotel enables you to reduce your implementation time by 2-4 weeks. You need not purchase hardware and wait for delivery. We create virtual instances of your Escenic installation in our secure environment and our well-proven solutions for configuring Escenic for your needs and requirements. Our streamlining of the deployment by configuring the Escenic servers from predefined images, reduces the implementation project with one additional day.
|
«By using the Redpill Linpro ASP hotel, we saved much time in establishing our web, compared to ordering and waiting for dedicated hardware to be delivered», says Harald Sæther, CEO of Filmweb in Norway.
|
Reduce your hardware costs
|
|
| By using our Escenic ASP hotel, you also save €500-700 per month (a conservative estimate) by avoiding or postponing Escenic-related hardware investments. Depending on traffic, you will need a minimum of 4 or 6 servers to run the solution on dedicated hardware. You also save license costs, since this is largely based on open source software.
|
«Our own rig would have cost €25-35,000 over three years. We have saved €15-25,000 using the ASP hotel», says Harald Sæther.
|
Reduce your initial costs
|
|
| Our Escenic ASP hotel also reduces your costs upfront, while enabling you to start making money right away. Your investments can be adjusted in accordance with your revenues from sales and advertising; performance and storage needs can be increased or decreased in accordance with traffic. Virtualisation and Redpill Linpro's configuration tools offer great flexibility.
|
«Comparing our needs to other solutions with dedicated hardware, and estimating the additional performance on virtual instances, gave us detailed specifications for our hardware investments», says Filmweb CEO Harald Sæther.
|
Base your decisions on expert knowledge and experience
|
| Redpill Linpro is Escenic Premium Partner, as well as the leading Scandinavian provider of products and services based on open source software. We share our expertise and experience - and our managed services toolbox – with our customers, enabling them to base their purchases and configurations on detailed knowledge about hardware requirements and potential bottlenecks.
|
«Redpill Linpro's financing model makes their concept even more adapted to the revenue stream in online newspapers and e-business sites», Sæther points out.
|
Proof of concept
|
|
| Our ASP hotel is being used by an increasing number of customers from a wide range of businesses, private and public, in several countries. We have developed a well-proven managed services concept, which is highly flexible and scalable, while remaining robust and secure.
|
«Redpill Linpro's ASP concept has provided us with a competent and flexible sparring partner ,and we are very satified with their efforts in order to keep the solution fast and stable», says Harald Sæther.
