Learn About Our Platform

Welcome innovators and entrepreneurs, designers and developers, and the world’s most forward-thinking companies. This is where social media leaders, top mobile apps, wildly popular online games and cutting-edge digital visionaries find a home and foundation.

SoftLayer provides global cloud infrastructure built at Internet scale. Our full-featured API and sophisticated automation tools let you control a powerful, on-demand platform that seamlessly spans physical and virtual devices. With 100,000 servers under management, we are the largest privately held Infrastructure-as-a-Service provider in the world, with 25,000 leading-edge customers ranging from technology startups to global enterprises.

We have data centers and network Points-of-Presence in the United States, Asia and Europe, connected by an advanced worldwide network that delivers unparalleled performance and control. A proprietary network structure integrates three distinct and redundant gigabit network architectures—public, private and data center-to-data center—into the industry’s first network-within-a-network topology. 2,000 Gbps of connectivity between data centers. High-performance CDN for optimized content delivery.

Standardized. Modular. Integrated. So you can deploy the ideal environment for your application. Create cloud computing instances in our CloudLayer public cloud, deploy high-performance dedicated servers or build private clouds with a choice of several different virtualization stacks. Seamlessly connect virtualized and bare metal servers, connect to SAN and NAS solutions or build on top of our searchable Object Storage platform, and choose from a selection of firewalls and load balancers. Manage it all from powerful Web and mobile management portals or build auto-scaling infrastructure by tapping into the power of our API.

If you have the idea, we have the infrastructure. Build the future.

Flexibility & Choice

The cloud is as much about business agility as technical flexibility. So we built a platform that lets you deploy physical servers in under a couple of hours and cloud instances in minutes, give you the ability to customize every aspect of, and made everything we sell available month-to-month, without minimum commitments or multi-year contracts.

True Hybrid Solutions

If you’re building a hybrid or distributed architecture our global private network will let you deploy cloud servers in Singapore, dedicated boxes in San Jose and communicate between them as if they were in the same rack, with no back-end network charges or additional connectivity products to buy.

And our proprietary Flex Images™ technology provides a unified image-based deployment system that allows you to build on cloud, move to dedicated and then move back again as your needs evolve, as well as bringing features like real-time cloning and image-based backup to physical servers.

Dedicated Servers

Sometimes you want the raw horsepower of bare metal. Our dedicated server range gives you options from entry-level single processor servers to quad proc, hex-core powerhouses and GPU-powered high-performance computing nodes all available in real-time with no downtime via our portal or API.

CloudLayer®

CloudLayer brings you cloud-enabled computing, storage, and content delivery built on our core advantages and longtime leadership in automated, on-demand data center services. Every CloudLayer service can seamlessly integrate with our dedicated servers and other components to create a fully integrated computing environment with unprecedented interoperability and efficiency.

Finally you can have the scalability that makes the cloud incredible without the sacrifices in performance, flexibility, and security that can make it impractical.

Managed Hosting
