App Development in the Cloud, the Way it Should Be

Why Developers Love Tier 3

Tier 3’s cloud services—infrastructure, Web Fabric (built on Cloud Foundry), and cloud management capabilities—are designed to abstract the complexity of enterprise development away, so it’s easier for you to accelerate innovation for your apps.

• Scalable, Elastic Compute Resources

  Let us manage infrastructure and ensure SLAs are met. You focus on improving your app.

• Web Fabric, Cloud Foundry-based PaaS

  Take your cloud app even further with Web Fabric. This service manages the run-time, middleware and OS layers.

• Cloud Foundry Core Compatible

  Apps authored in Web Fabric can be easily ported to other Cloud Foundry providers. This “future proofs” your app as things change over time.

• Application Performance Management

  Every Tier 3 environment includes a standard subscription to New Relic, a powerful monitoring tool that pinpoints where app performance lags. Use it to quickly find and solve performance issues in your software.

• Your App is Part of Your Corporate Network

  With Direct Connect, developers have a dedicated network connection to our datacenters that bypass the public Internet. This makes the development of internal apps that much easier.

• Advanced Security, Built In

  Your data is protected by Tier 3’s “defense in depth” security model, so you don’t need to integrate any complex add-ons. Learn how we secure your data.

• For DevOps: Powerful Admin Tools

  Managing cloud environments can be a time consuming activity. With Tier 3, we’ve designed powerful, easy admin tools that simplify infrastructure management. So you can manage more VMs in less time.

• Global Network at Your Fingertips

  Deploy where your users are. With datacenters in the US, Canada, UK, and mainland Europe, developers can spool up new cloud environments in the best locale for each app. In addition, you can more easily compliance with local data sovereignty rules.

Built-In Automation

Leverage built-in automation with our growing library of Blueprints, or design your own to quickly and easily build out environments in just a few clicks.

Web Fabric

Focus on your apps with our flexible, multi-framework Platform-as-a-Service

The Tier 3 Web Fabric is a multi-language Platform-as-a-Service (Paas) that makes it easy to deploy and manage enterprise-class web applications without the need for traditional operations tasks. Our PaaS is built on the open-source Iron Foundry project, which grew out of the popular Cloud Foundry project. This means that developers can avoid lock-in by using a widely available PaaS while confidently running on Tier 3’s enterprise-grade infrastructure.
