SnowCloud™ - Snowbound's Cloud-based Pilot Environment

Cloud computing refers to the use and access of multiple server-based computer resources via an Internet connection using the World Wide Web. Applications are provided and managed on the cloud server and data is also stored remotely in the cloud configuration. Cloud computing provides many advantages over traditional computing including faster deployment, reduced costs, easier scalability and flexible access.

Snowbound’s Cloud-based Pilot Environment empowers users with immediate access to a turnkey solution to evaluate, test and verify document and image viewing and conversion applications and toolkits. So now, whether you want to try out our off-the-shelf VirtualViewer or our SnowBatch conversion application, or put our RasterMaster SDK through its paces, our new cloud-based offering provides access in minutes.

Snowbound’s Cloud-based Advantages:

  • Instant Access – complete turnkey environment at your fingertips and under your control – access securely from multiple locations via SSL encryption to ensure data security

How It Works:

  • Select a Solution for Your Cloud Server - Cloud Server sizes are measured by the amount of physical memory required to evaluate your chosen solution – choose from our document viewing and conversion applications and SDK – and we’ll configure the server, load the software and verify functionality.
  • Select Your Operating System - Choose from a variety of popular 64-bit Linux® Distributions—Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo, CentOS, Fedora, Arch and Red Hat Enterprise Linux—or Windows® Images—Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2003.
