How do you help me grow my client base?
Adding the ShadowCloud to your existing offering provides data center replication and redundancy. This will allow you to sell to a set of clients who you previously couldn’t address due to their requirements infrastructure requirements.
Why would I use Doyenz for a second facility versus adding another rack in a different co-location facility?
Using the ShadowCloud provides you with most of the benefits of a second facility without the capital expense. You buy additional capacity “as a Service” when you need it and not before.
How does the pricing work, and what licensing requirements do I have?
The ShadowCloud is designed and built for the Channel. However if you want to give your clients access to their protected machines you can create an account which will allow them to access just their systems that are in the ShadowCloud.
