We provide RDS to all our existing customers with data that is significant or sensitive, which is stored on a beast! The RDS instance with its own dedicated resources of 4 CPUs and reduntant RAM and Storage which have slaves in different regions and data centers cloning it, ready to be replaced in the case of a failover, allowing us to continuously upgrading and doing maintenance on your database without any downtime of performance loss, no more under maintenance messages during the month or year for intensive database work.

Networking & DNS
ColumbusSoft provides a range of networking services enabling you to create a logically isolated network that you define, establish a private network connection to the cloud, use a highly available and scalable DNS service and deliver content to your end users with low latency at high data transfer speeds with a content delivery web service. Then you have the VPC (Virtual Private Cloud), which lets you provision a private, isolated section of the Cloud where you can launch resources in a virtual network that you define. With VPC, you can define a virtual network topology that closely resembles a traditional network that you might operate in your own datacenter, but you can not afford a datacenter!

Video Streaming & Transcoding
We can manages all aspects of maintaining your media. There's no need to administer software, scale hardware, tune performance, or otherwise manage transcoding infrastructure. You simply can create your own youtube if you want. The transcoding "job" specifying the location of your source media file and how you want it transcoded, you can have a dynamic stream based on the user's speed, and the file format based on their device. We use the same technology as Netflix, just take a look at our clients Indieflix or the video upload features of our Dating Websites.
