Customer stories
What customers built on the Canadian cloud.
We do not publish undated, unsigned testimonials. This page collects what CACloud announced for its customers between 2012 and 2016, each linked to the release that records it, and what every customer gets today.
On the record
Six changes made for customers, with the paper trail.
Each card sums up one archived press release in plain words. The releases are kept word for word in the Press Room; the products and certifications they name were current when published.
Self-service cloud servers, billed as you go
Customers could build a server in real time, pool resources, and add RAM, CPU and storage without a sales call. Pay-as-you-go billing meant spinning a server down stopped the charge.
Read the releaseA content delivery network with Canadian points of presence
Customers serving video, downloads or busy sites got CDN nodes in Vancouver and Toronto, with access to a wider global pool. It could be bought on its own, alongside servers hosted elsewhere.
Read the releaseOpenStack private clouds without the build-out
Development teams and service providers could order a dedicated OpenStack environment in Vancouver or Toronto, from a single tenant to preconfigured plans of 2 to 5 servers, with no vendor lock-in.
Read the releaseIPv6 for every cloud server
Customers in both cities got IPv6 addresses on SSD Cloud Servers and Canadian Cloud servers, so their infrastructure was ready for the address space IPv4 was running out of.
Read the releasePrivate clouds on distributed high-availability storage
Customers who needed high availability got private clouds with distributed storage: SSD caching in front of hard drives, and a design that survives a disk or host failure. The release itself names the platform of the day.
Read the releaseCustom server sizes instead of fixed instance types
Instead of choosing from a menu of fixed instance sizes, customers could set the exact number of virtual CPUs, the RAM and the storage they needed, in Toronto or Vancouver.

Every customer
What comes with the account, not the plan.
Three things a customer can hold us to, whichever product they buy.
Support every day of the year
In-house support by phone, email and ticket, 365 days a year. Managed Support is available when you want the team to look after the server itself.
A service level in writing
The SLA commits to 99.9% or 99.95% monthly availability depending on the product, with credits of up to 30% of that region's bill when we miss it.
Data in Canada
Servers in Toronto, Vancouver and Coquitlam, run by a company with a SOC 2 Type II report. Where your data sits is a fact, not a region label.
