Contact Expedient to learn how On Demand could benefit your company.

Product Launches / Marketing Campaigns

Virtual On Demand is ideal for companies during product launches or marketing campaigns when demand spikes and then levels off. These types of events create a paradox for the IT staff when sizing the environment. Do you build for the initial peak and have a ton of excess capacity long term or do you roll out a solution that is sized for the average traffic post launch which puts you at risk of delivering a poor first impression if your servers cannot handle the initial traffic blitz. Virtual On Demand from Expedient provides you with the capacity to handle the traffic bursts while having a production environment that is sized appropriately. This results in a cost effective solution without compromising your customer experience. As you know, the most traffic from any campaign is the very onset of it, so be prepared to ensure a successful and profitable launch.

Disaster Recovery

Virtual On Demand can be used as a cost effective Disaster Recovery method. Users can have a small active Virtual Colocation pool of resources that can be used for regular replication and then use Virtual On Demand as a reserve for when you need to declare a disaster or do testing, all you need to do is push the button and you will have your disaster recovery environment at full capacity.

Test and Development

With the speeds that organizations operate and how communications often becomes compartmentalized within companies the application development team often gets put in the unenviable position of having new projects dumped into their laps with little notice and an aggressive completion timeline. This leaves them little time to build a new computing environment let alone develop the desired application. Expedient's Virtual On Demand service provides you with an environment that can be spun up on a moment's notice to accommodate the immediate request while the long term system design can be developed.

E-Commerce

Virtual On Demand is an excellent option for E-Commerce applications where demand fluctuates. Whether its back-to-school season, the holidays or an online special offer, there are instances when demand spikes and additional resources are needed at a moment's notice to ensure an ideal online experience for end users.

Social Media - Gaming

Social Media is on the rise and there does not seem to be any indication of it going away soon. You never know what the next online gaming craze is going to be or when one of your company's ads is going viral across the social media universe. Being in a position to instantly take advantage of unexpected exposure can be a make it or break it moment for many small to mid-sized companies. Expedient's Virtual On Demand services enable you to have extra capacity in reserve so that you don't miss your moment while not breaking the bank.
