Using Cloud ValetTM, Customers can now slash cloud costs.

GREENVILLE, S.C. – March 16, 2016Net3 Technology, Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based managed services and data center platforms, giving customers individualized assessments to ensure companies are provided with the most effective solution, today announced its release of its Cloud ValetTM, a single-purpose SaaS tool within the PvDC Management Portal that enables users to automatically schedule on/off times for their virtual servers.  Cloud ValetTM is an invaluable tool for development projects or temporary workloads and helps ensure that unattended resources are not left running, resulting in unnecessary charges.  A free tool for all Net3 customers, Cloud ValetTM allows businesses to verifiably reduce cloud computing costs by paying only for the resources that are actually used when needed.

“Our clients have been using on-demand resources in PvDC for some time now for development, DR, and testing.  Its great to be able to spin a new environment at a moments notice but keeping cost in line always depended on a department or person to shut down the services they had spun up.  People just simply forget to check behind themselves and sadly it costs money to keep services on you are not using.  It’s really no different than when kids leave the lights or a faucet on at the house, all day, while the family is gone.  The Cloud ValetTM scheduler has been a welcome tool to the on-demand resources used in PvDC.  Being able to create schedules on the fly that shuts down servers and resources is a budgetary lifesaver.  Simply create the variety of schedules you need, drag the virtual machines you want the schedule applied into the pool and in return, no more paying for resources that are not being used by your employees.” – Hudson Denney, founding partner and President of Net3.

"Cloud Valet has changed the way we consume our on-demand cloud development resources forever.” Said Elisabeth Self, Controller with Human Technologies, Inc.  “Automated scheduling has cut our spend in almost half."

Key Cloud ValetTM Features include:

•Scheduling groups of virtual servers – even linking back to turn on/off

•Temporarily suspending the action of a parking schedule

•Scheduling virtual servers on a common schedule – even across data centers

•Set precedence for server startup order

•Set delays in server startup timing - For example: allowing plenty of time of time to come online before other servers
