1 COGECO PEER 1 MISSION CRITICAL CLOUD Where every interaction matters Many IT and application development organizations have struggled to embrace the cloud in a meaningful and beneficial way. To gain certain benefits, it seemed necessary to sacrifice others. Most public clouds promise utility pricing and associated cost savings, but issues surrounding provisioning, oversight and most importantly resource orchestration, high-availability and disaster recovery security create daunting obstacles to adoption. On the other hand, while private clouds on dedicated hardware address those pain points, the financial benefits of the cloud are lost to the costs of dedicated hardware and software combined with the resources required to provision and manage them. Mission Critical Cloud (MCC) from Cogeco Peer 1 is enterprise-ready, creating the perfect point of adoption, whether you re seeking an off-premise solution for development, testing and staging workloads or launching new Mission Critical Commercial Applications in the cloud. Cogeco Peer 1 MCC is a VMware based public cloud platform that realizes all of the benefits expected of the cloud. And then some. ELEGANT ORCHESTRATION SIMPLE AUTOMATION ENTERPRISE SECURITY DISASTER RECOVERY AND BUSINESS CONTINUITY The highly visual and comprehensive control console enables users to establish groups of virtual machines with unique rules to intelligently organize, manage and control costs of large environments. And the Blueprint template and scripting tool simplifies building out complex solutions and significantly reduces time and effort. Whether scheduling maintenance, automating time-consuming menial tasks or setting up monitoring alerts, MCC simplifies day-to-day work, minimizes errors and allows your developers to devote themselves to more strategic activities. Auto-scaling enables you to grow or shrink servers vertically based on CPU utilization. From the server cages to the gateways to the last bit of data, every aspect of the MCC infrastructure is secure, protected and continually monitored. And with the ability to provision virtual load balancers and set custom firewall policies, the platform offers control and security to rival that of many private cloud environments. Built-in high-availability, 5-day or 14-day rolling backups and full, remote-location redundancy of your complete environment ensures that your infrastructure stays running even if a disaster strikes. ECONOMIES Utility-based hourly pricing, Infrastructure-as-a-Service, and powerful automation capabilities all eliminate capital expenditures and reclaim your internal resources for more critical tasks.

3 Features: FLEXIBILITY OF CONFIGURATIONS HYPERSCALE BUSINESS CONTINUITY CONTROL PORTAL BLUEPRINTS SECURITY HYBRID HOSTING COMPLIANCE Depending on the demands of your business, select from standard or premium storage and backup profiles to enable either 5-day or 14-day rolling backups with built-in DR. Load balancing and firewalls are built-into the infrastructure, and additional virtual appliances may be provisioned for your solution upon request. Utilize the default VM-based storage or upgrade to vsan to meet more stringent requirements. Designed for distributed workloads that require maximum performance, Hyperscale provides the ability to meet increased demands on your system. Hyperscale offers the same computing and memory performance found in our standard servers plus enterprise-class flash storage for fast and efficient processing. MCC offers built-in business continuity through locally mirrored hardware and automated rolling backups to geographically diverse, hardened data centres, providing faulttolerance and redundancy for all your operations and data. In the unlikely event of a major service interruption, we quickly bring up your entire environment in a secondary data centre with the same performance, scale, and capacity of your original systems ensuring business continuity (RTO of 8 hours, RPO of 24 hours). Control Portal. An easy-to-use, visual administration console simplifies both day-to-day server management tasks, and the creation of new servers and server groups. As you provision a new VM or group of VMs, a rate calculator displays both hourly and monthly costs. Monitoring provides reporting and alerts on bandwidth, CPU, RAM and disk utilization. Completely capturing your existing configurations, Blueprints are templates for simplified VMware server provisioning. Once a Blueprint is saved and stored, you deploy it again and again to recreate that solution in every detail. That means that even the most complex environments can be recreated with a single click from the OS to the database and applications. Moreover, there is a large and growing Blueprint marketplace where you can find Blueprints to create a variety of tried and trusted solutions, from provisioning instances of Apache Tomcat to building out MySQL clusters. MCC protects every element of your environment physical, virtual and bandwidth. This includes user authentication, network protection, data centre physical security, and IDS and IDP monitoring of external data transmissions all integral to the platform. The self-service Control Portal also enables you to set custom firewall configurations to meet your specific business requirements. We have built a uniquely automated hybrid environment from the ground up. You can provision a complex hybrid solution on a private network that contains load balancers and is behind firewalls in as little as 90 minutes. Over VPN, you can even connect that solution to any other service, such as our managed VMware private cloud solution, MCC or even Managed Dedicated Servers. Ensure that your virtual infrastructures are fully compliant with the most current standards for process and security. Physical security controls and logical security policies are audited to SSAE 16 and ISO standards. Audit trails are created and always visible through the Control Portal.

6 Benefits: COST CONTROL AND VISIBILITY SIMPLICITY SELF-SERVICE SECURITY FIRSTCALL PROMISE Realize the true financial promise of the cloud for both capital and operational spend. Eliminating the cost of infrastructure returns a lot of money to your strategic IT and development budget. Pay-as-you-go hourly pricing provides complete visibility and control over costs. Automating routine tasks, grouping virtual servers for common actions, single-click deployment of complex solutions and much more all lower the cost of running your cloud environments. Numerous tools and templates make provisioning and configuring solutions fast, predictable and less prone to errors. This is true whether you re creating a complex new IT workload a new product s test infrastructure for instance or spooling up a large server group for a mission-critical production workload. Use Blueprints to provision and configure solutions with a single click. Tightly controlled and secure, MCC s self-service control portal enables authorized users to provision, configure or modify multiple solutions within the environment. That includes establishing groups of servers for common actions, such as scheduled reboots for example. Customers handle every aspect of setting up their applications directly from the portal. And administrators can gain instant access to system status, bandwidth usage, billing summaries and other important tools. And Autoscale functionality enables you to control the vertical growth or shrinking of servers based on CPU utilization. Unlike traditional public clouds, MCC deploys multiple layers of defense at every point of attack or vulnerability. That includes physical equipment, cloud resources, customer data and more.
