Manufacturing

Manufacturing companies are challenged with managing diverse geographic locations and supply chains that require large, complex database applications. Cloud computing allows manufacturers to establish a presence in virtually any global location and connect plants to an IT infrastructure using cloud-based templates that include everything required to get a location up and running. Collaboration applications, ERP systems and management tools can all be shared over the cloud, and resources can be deployed and expanded globally with minimal effort.

During such large-scale deployments, the economics of the cloud really shine. With RapidScale, manufacturers pay only for what they use, eliminating large capital expenses and slashing the operating costs of maintaining numerous locations. RapidScale’s reliable, secure platform ensures manufacturers have highly available services when they need them, which helps eliminate manufacturing hiccups that can affect time to market and cost companies a bundle.
