aggregating cloud computing services for small and medium-sized businesses
ThinkGrid's cloud computing platform is built to offer a wide range of hosted business services. To deliver these services to a guaranteed availability of 99.99%, an infrastructure which is versatile, scalable and higly resilient is required. To best explain the platform, we have a diagram of the layers involved.
Technologies Utilised
ThinkGrid is platform vendor, however utilises other vendor's best of breed technologies to deploy our stack for different services to be provisionned. Our platform also contains a number of proprietary provisionning and billing elements which abstract technology from service. In terms of our choosen vendors we partner with: Microsoft, Redhat, Parallels, VMware, Quest, Citrix, Mezeo, HP, Cisco, Intel and Juniper. ThinkGrid retains its vendor agnostic principals to give partners the choice of which technologies are used and can select from a range to suit their customer's needs.
Points of Presence
To truly support cloud computing, services must be delivered with low latency and, through redundancy, must be able to withstand outages. ThinkGrid's modular deployment means we have numerous points of presence where our customers and partners can choose services to be delivered from. Get the best experience, whether you are in London, New York or Paris!
Currently we have points of presence in over 7 data centre locations worldwide. We can also deploy modular points of presence quickly for new partner or territory opportunities.

APIs
ThinkGrid includes powerful user interfaces to manage and provision services into the cloud platform but, for those partners or customers looking to integrate an existing infrastructure or existing control panel, ThinkGrid provides an API (application programming interface) to talk directly to some of ThinkGrid's systems via XML RPC.
Service APIs
The service API provides integration with ThinkGrid to provision items such as Hosted Exchange, Dynamic Servers or Desktops with remote calls. Provisioning, management and other elements of the services can be done on the fly.
Customer Management APIs
For users wishing to utilise some of ThinkGrid's billing platform, customer data can be managed along side the Service API, allowing for pricing, upgrade paths and even a store to be integrated directly.
For partners wishing to utilise ThinkGrid's White Label platform, the APIs can be used in tandem to add extra features.
