Bangalore, May 25 (PTI) Intel Corporation today launched its AppUp Small Business Service, which enables server manufacturers, software vendors and service providers to offer small businesses the advantages of cloud computing, but with applications and data running on their own premises.
Enabled by the Intel Hybrid Cloud platform, the service represents a new business model for Intel, the company said in a statement.
The solution consists of a server, a catalog of pre-packaged small business applications from a broad range of software providers and Intel-developed software to securely manage and track use of the application software.
Small business customers access the solution through service providers, paying on a monthly basis for software they use,just like in the cloud, but getting the responsiveness and control of running their applications and data onsite, Intel said.
