How a request becomes a running VM

A customer picks what they need. PLEXOUS Cloud checks it, builds it on the right stack and starts metering. Nobody files a ticket, and nobody waits on a person.

No tickets

Customers and departments serve themselves from their own portal, any time of day.

Rules apply on their own

Limits, access rights and network rules are checked before anything is built, every time.

Same flow on every stack

VMware, OpenStack, AWS or your Hyper-Cluster: the request looks the same to the customer.

From request to running in minutes

Every request goes through the same four steps. Nobody files a ticket, and nobody waits on a person.

  1. Pick from the catalogue

    A customer or department picks a VM, cluster or GPU from their own portal.

  2. Checked automatically

    PLEXOUS Cloud checks their limits, access rights and network rules before anything is built.

  3. Built where there is room

    The request lands on VMware, OpenStack, AWS or your Hyper-Cluster, wherever capacity is free.

  4. Metered from minute one

    Usage is recorded in one unit across every stack, ready for the invoice.

What gets checked

Before anything is built, PLEXOUS Cloud runs the same checks automatically.

Limits
Does this customer or department have room left in what they were given?
Access
Is this person allowed to create this kind of resource?
Network rules
Which networks can the new machine join, and what can reach it?
Placement
Which stack has the capacity, and where does it fit best?
Metering
Usage starts recording the minute the resource is running.
