Benefits for users
CloudController supports the following three business models:
- Private cloud model for companies that use CloudController for virtual server management on premises.
- Public cloud model suits service providers who use CloudController when selling virtual servers and resource pools to end-users.
- Hybrid cloud model combines both Private and Public models and fits the companies that use part of their resources internally and sell the rest (with “idle” status) to consumers outside the company.
For customers planning to sell all or some of their virtual servers, CloudController provides a complete range of back-office operations such as invoicing, chargebacks, value-added tax (VAT) calculation, customer support, reporting, etc., as well as the ability to accept payments via PayPal, Buckaroo or bank transactions.
