FlexyTrack™ and Cloud Computing

The concept behind the Cloud Computing evolution is to move tools, services, applications and documents onto a centralized computing system accessible anywhere, any time, from any computer via the Internet. Though a computer is still a necessary component, it becomes merely a doorway to your documents, files and applications, rather than the destination.

Douglas Telecom's unique system lends itself extraordinarily well to Cloud Computing applications. FlexyTrack's redundancy resolves the core and problematic issue of reliability associated with traditional Cloud Computing solutions. FlexyTrack's raw speed and flexibility provide for a marketable and economically viable model of Cloud Computing development.

The current, Flash-based user interface gives a visually dynamic and market-accepted interface while adding new dimensions of functionality to Adobe Flash – probably the most popular and ubiquitous web-based development tools on the market today. Giving Adobe Flash a back-end with the extraordinary indexing, processing and database functionalities available with the FlexyTrack platform is an exciting step forward in web-based service and application development.

FlexyDesk, the next generation FlexyTrack interface

In the coming months, utilizing DTI's modularized FlexyDesk, Douglas Telecom will be unveiling an online, hosted desktop environment capable of offering Cloud-based software solutions that, until recently, were relegated exclusively to traditional machine based environments. Douglas Telecom is excited about offering new services including state-of-the-art forms of document management, internal communications, call management, task management and other unique tools to increase business productivity and decrease overhead.

FlexyTrack is an advanced and mature platform for the delivery of Cloud Computing applications and provides exciting and economical solutions to meet the 21st Century needs of individual users and large enterprises alike. Its speed and reliability make it ideal for Cloud Computing. A single FlexyTrack server can handle and deliver diverse real-time applications to hundreds of simultaneous users.

Cloud Computing refers to a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet. Scalability allows the system to adapt smoothly to growing volume of data. ‘Virtualization’ refers to the separation of the operating system from the underlying platform resources. In practice, cloud computing allows the user to store and access applications and files from any computer, anytime, anywhere. Traditionally, the relationship between a user and their computer was limited by geography. With the introduction of smaller processors, hard drives and improved battery life, laptops became a popular tool to add mobility to personal computing. Cloud Computing is the next step in this evolution.
