compute resources as per business demands without having to worry about

resources.

applications and OS platforms. Key features of Netmagic Cloud Computing

these services will enable companies to save capital by subscribing to IT
infrastructure as a service. In addition to this, this new offering will
help by optimizing resource utilization and saving on power and space
costs for IT infrastructure. In fact, the biggest advantage of such a
service is that companies can avoid spending today and be ready for
scaling on demand when the economy starts growing by using the cloud
platform. According to Sanghi, customers will be able to cut costs by at
least 20-25% through these services.
The company differentiates itself on the robustness of infrastructure,
managed services support and their ability to offer the entire IT
infrastructure in the cloud. For this service the company will bill
customers on resources used on a per hour basis model. The prices will
depend on amount of resources required and duration of use.
