Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

Private by Default

When your account is created, you’re automatically generated a basic, sane & secure, Private Network. All of your network traffic travels through your own Private Network, and you aren’t forced to share your tubes with anyone.

Feature Rich

Cloud-A’s VPC Networking infrastructure allows you to manage every piece of your private network; from Routers and Subnets to Security Groups, and DHCP Agents to Load Balancers — It’s all available and ready to scale out instantly.

Separate & Secure

You are provided with encrypted & encapsulated routing that no other users, or even your own routers, can access without explicitly connecting them. With VPC, even internet connectivity is optional; VPN or internal traffic only if you choose.

Easy to Configure

Using the Network Overview dashboard, you gain a high level picture of even the most complicated network configurations to help you architect or troubleshoot network connectivity with ease.

VPC Overview: Virtual Private Cloud Networking Overview Cloud-A’s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Networking allows you to create on demand virtual network appliances for your entire stack within our public cloud environment. This allows for complete isolation from all other customer data using the infrastructure. The isolation between private networks is provided through encrypted traffic tunnels per tenant, and completely private IP subnets.

Standard with all VMs: VPC marries your traditional public infrastructure with virtually private networking to deliver complete environmental control, without all the metal. Best of all, the basic Cloud-A Private Network functionality comes pre-bundled with your account.

Load Balancing-as-a-Service: Cloud-A’s VPC Load Balancers are able to manage online traffic by spreading traffic across multiple servers. Load Balancers can help optimize your workload performance and prevent overload to enable you build a robust and performant system for your users.

blkstr.ca Content Delivery Network

No Place Like 127.0.0.1

Data is cached at multiple POPs across the world, and traffic is automatically directed to the closest one. Bringing your data closer reduces network latency, making your content available faster!

Easy as 1 ...

As easy as clicking your mouse. You can then start accessing your data through blkstr.ca, our CDN specific domain name to integrate with existing plugins or your application.

Flexin' Big Pipes

By leveraging CDN you increase your effective bandwidth capacity by over 1000% over direct access to the Bulk Storage cluster.

A Living Network

It's aliiiive! Our next-gen CDN technology continuously expands or contracts across the world to scale and deliver the highest quality service.

Our Cloud CDN technology was built from the ground up to deliver your content most efficiently from anywhere. Bulk Storage content served through the blkstr.ca network is propogated intelligently to edge nodes for blazing fast downloads of media, large static files, or dynamic content.

Dynamic Traffic Direction: Incoming requests for your static files are analyzed and routed to the nearest physical CDN point of presence. Leveraging a network of partners, we are already across the globe, and we can accomodate requirements to deliver local CDN nodes for unprecidented enterprise speed and integration.

Zero Configuration: Integrated directly into our storage platform, there is zero additional configuration beyond simply toggling on access to your container contents. Create, update, and delete content per your normal workflow using the tools you're already used to using.

Easy for Developers: Direct integration or plugins exist for frameworks such as Wordpress, Drupal, Django, and Ruby on Rails (to name a few) to handle remote object / file storage. It's as easy as copying and pasting your blkstr.ca CDN url, and you hit the ground running.
