Reduce cost on hardware and services

nMIC (MicroStrategy Instant Cloud from Nalgan) is a MicroStrategy Cloud hosting solution packaged with expert services, designed for enterprises to minimize time & effort on administering and maintaining hardware & software. The goal of the solution is to let teams focus on building cutting edge BI applications using MicroStrategy while they cut down their time and effort on administration (& maintenance) of hardware and software.

Briefly, why nMIC? - These are just a few - 
  • Minimize your investment on infrastructure and get started in minutes.
  • Minimize time and expenditure on building unnecessary or temporary teams.
  • Spend more time on design and development rather than administration or maintenance.
  • Build/modify your infrastructure in minutes, switch OS, add new servers, and, all in minutes.

nMIC (MicroStrategy Instant Cloud) Vs. Any other hosting provider - How is it different than a cloud hosting provider?
Any cloud hosting provider would offer hosting of Windows or Linux/Unix servers. nMIC is more than just hosting, in simple words nMIC = Hosting + Server Administration + MicroStrategy Administration. We have packaged cloud hosting with our expert services, still having the cost low. 

Security with nMIC
Security is our high priority! All the cloud servers powering nMIC solution are hosted with one of the industry leaders in CLOUD hosting, highly secured with no external connections. For details on cloud hosting services providers or SLA, please emails us at solutions@nalgan.com

 

Briefly, how it works? - We are offering variety of packages, based on the package a customer selects, we will lease the required cloud servers from our partners and have the system up and running for development in less than 24 hours, which includes:

  • Installing and configuring servers.
  • Installing and configuring the MicroStrategy software purchased by the customer.
This jump starts the development efforts, and teams can get started building BI applications using MicroStrategy. We are here to handle any administrative or maintenance tasks.
 
How billing works? - "One single bill". Customers need not worry about paying multiple invoices. Its just one invoice which includes cost for cloud hosting + managed services. All invoices are sent on monthly basis with complete details on services used by the customer.

How are managed services tracked? - All customers will have access to our portal, NWS (Nalgan Work Space). Information on the packages and documentation of our services will be available at all times in the portal. Customers will be able to create tickets for any administration and maintenance tasks via the portal. At the time of billing, every ticket will detail the time spent.
