What heights could your performance reach if your VMs ran in Our Cloud?
Cloud Infrastructure
Cloud Propeller offers custom-fit, highly-secure, VMware-based infrastructure solutions using the newest, best-in-class hardware (across multiple data center locations) built to exceed client needs and expectations.
With Cloud Propeller there is no risk of vendor lock-in. Only performance and flexibility everyone deserves.
When it comes to our infrastructure it’s Enterprise-grade top-to-bottom. We use fastest Intel-CPUs, rely on HPE Alletra 6000 Series Storage Arrays (NVMe-based), and interconnect everything with 100Gbit-based network backbone.
Core Features
Intel Xeon Processors
Intel is a trusted workhorse of the enterprise. In current (Gen4) iteration of CP infrastructure we utilize Intel Xeon 6960P CPUs, clocked at 3.1GHz per core, w/ max turbo freq. of 3.9GHz.
Extreme Networks Fabric
Instead of typical spine-and-leaf architecture, we rely on a highly-redundant Extreme Networks Fabric with no single point of failure. We trust them since Brocade days and their switches continues to power our workloads with 6.4 Tbit/s of network backbone capacity.
Bring Your Own Firewall
Everything with us is 100% custom-fit to client’s exact needs. Most of our clients deploy their own virtual firewall solutions (Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, or even VyOS), however, we highly recommend Palo Alto VM-series firewalls to all of our enterprise clients who are serious about security, performance and traffic visibility.
Abundance of Compute
Each of our clusters runs on 8 compute blades. In total, 16TB of DDR5 (8800MT/S) ECC RAM; 768 physical (performance-only) cores (1,536 hyper-threaded); with a 3.2Tbps network backbone.
Dedicated Storage Fabric
We run storage on its own separate network fabric. The result is increased performance and decreased need to touch the configuration, eliminating chance of human-caused downtime on the most critical component of the infrastructure - storage.
50% MAX Utilization
We do not believe in over-provisioning. All our infrastructure resources are NEVER at more than 50% of capacity. The moment the threshold is reached we add more resources. This is across the board, including compute (vCPUs and RAM), as well as storage (performance and capacity) and network.
Enterprise NVMe Storage
Our client's data is securely stored on redundant set of HP Alletra 6000 Series All-Flash NVMe storage arrays. Rock-solid Nimble Storage comes with a 99.9999% reliability.
Fast VM-to-VM transfer
Client Virtual Data Centers (vDCs) are connected to the Core Network Fabric via multiple 100Gbit uplinks (4 per host). As such, VMs within a vDC can transfer data between each other at up to 100Gbit/sec (limited only by OS performance tuning and VM drivers).
Guaranteed Refresh Cycle
Our infrastructure is always evolving. We continuously upgrade our infrastructure to the most cutting-edge hardware available, replacing our entire stack, on average, about every 3 years. This includes compute, storage as well as network infrastructure and upgrades are free of charge to all our clients.

The big difference between Cloud Propeller and other service providers is that they are willing to tailor their services for each customer. No one else would have been willing to do that. Before working with CP, our risk level was high. Now, we have a secure infrastructure, we have a plan, we are organized and we are prepared.
