Basic characteristics of Atman VMware Cloud
Atman VMware Cloud is a fully functional local cloud platform based on VMware – the world’s leading virtualization technology. You’ve got all components needed to build any cloud environment you want, compatible with other components of your IT infrastructure that uses VMware. You manage your resources freely and conveniently through the VMware Cloud Director panel or an API.
You may focus on your business development, because you’ve entrusted us – the data center market leader in Poland – with the maintenance of a secure and high-availability infrastructure. The Atman VMware Cloud platform is located in a professional data center in Warsaw that holds an EPI DCOS-4 certificate. Also, it meets the requirements of the Tier III standard for data centers, and even exceeds them.
Quickly migrate your VMware environment from your local data center to Atman VMware Cloud with our free vCloud Availability module. You can also use it to build a disaster recovery (DR) solution.
Our two data centers have disk arrays connected in an active-active metro cluster. This increases the security of your data thanks to the continuous process of data replication between the arrays, because if one of the arrays fails, your data will still be on the other array that is working, and the environment will continue to operate without any changes. In fact, you may not even notice if one of the arrays fails!

What are your billing options?
With Atman VMware Cloud, you have the choice of two billing models – a fixed monthly fee (subscription) and a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) model based on resource consumption.
Fixed monthly fees (subscription)
How does it work?
You determine the size of resources that Atman allocates to the environment. Every month you pay a fixed subscription fee for these resources.
It is worth using it if:
- Your environment is working constantly, 24 hours a day.
- You have a specified monthly budget for IT resources.
- You want to deal with the server environment as little as possible after running it.
Variable consumption fees (PAYG)
How does it work?
You don’t declare usage. You only pay for the resources used.
It is worth using when:
- You do not know your environment’s demand for resources.
- You know that your infrastructure works seasonally.
- You often run test, development and experimental environments.
Comparison of the settlement models:
| Monthly fees | Consumption fees (PAYG) | |
| Price: | 20% discount on PAYG price | 100% |
| Fees for: | RAM, vCPU, Storage, IP addresses, Microsoft Server licenses | |
| Settlement period: | Month | |
| Settlement method: | In advance | In arrears |
| Time unit: | Month | Hour |
| Unit of RAM resource: | 1 GB | 1 GB, running machine |
| Unit of vCPU resource | 1 vCPU | 1 vCPU, running machine |
| Unit of Storage resource | 1 GB | 1 GB of assigned space |
| Unit of IP address resource | 1 address | 1 assigned address |
| Microsoft Server licence | 1 licence for 2 vCPUs | 1 licence for 2 vCPUs, running machine |
You can also combine both types of billing: subscription + PAYG
Resources that you need constantly are billed with a monthly subscription fee, and those that you use in excess of the subscription values are billed per hour of use in the PAYG model.
This solution combines cost optimization with operational flexibility. If you suddenly need more computing power than your subscription allows, you can add a new virtual machine or more cloud resources with just a few clicks.
We know that IT teams often face difficult situations.
Find out how we can change this together
Application developers...
– require more resources than you have
– order you to immediately prepare something that will can deliver in a week
– label you as the “bottleneck”
– will build the infrastructure (IaC, API) themselves
– will get any resources from you, even for an hour
– will get the resources immediately, without waiting
You use a cloud, but...
– you are amazed at the fees for using resources
– you often have to pay extra unexpected fees
– you cannot predict the cost of data transfer
– you poorly assess the customer service
– billing analysis will not be an extreme sport
– you will appreciate simple settlement rules
– you will get an online transfer in the price of the service
– you will be served by engineers specializing in the cloud
Support for equipment is over
– you are about to replace the equipment
– support extension will be expensive
– you are worried about capital expenditure and the risk of downtime
– you do not worry about the equipment at all
– you have constant technical support
– you use the latest technology
– you do not incur capital expenditure
You want things to be simpler!
– you manage a complicated infrastructure
– management board requires short time-to-market
– your analysis, order, change processes are long
– you do not have the budget to enlarge the team
– you will forget about the hardware aspect
– you do not order hardware
– you do not wait, you proceed as follows: order -> click -> effect
– you will relieve your team
Internet
– you have it in your own server room from the operator
– it costs you a lot and requires a second connection backup
– sometimes there is a lack of bandwidth, and you do not have a budget to expand
– Internet is a cost-free addition
– you have 1 Gbps at your disposal
– unlimited transfer
– uninterrupted connectivity – there is always the Internet in DC
