Virtual Machines That Behave Like Yours — Because They Are
When a hyperscaler region goes dark, your business goes with it. On October 19–20, 2025, a hidden race condition in Amazon DynamoDB's DNS automation took down DynamoDB's US-East-1 region for hours — and pulled Snapchat, Fortnite, Ring, Roblox, Coinbase, and Signal down with it (AWS Outage Latest — New Analysis Explains What Went Wrong And Why, 10/23/2025). Nine days later, an Azure tenant configuration deployment failure grounded Alaska Airlines flights for the third time in a year (Alaska Airlines Hit by Disruptions Due to Microsoft Azure, 10/30/2025). On November 18, 2025, Cloudflare took X and ChatGPT offline (Massive Outage of Websites Reported as Cloudflare Goes Down).
The companies running on those platforms didn't do anything wrong. They just rented space in a building too big to fail safely.
IntelliData Solutions builds virtual machines on a private cloud with a smaller, isolated blast radius — and a named engineer who answers when something breaks. Not a ticket queue. Not a chatbot. A person who already knows your environment.
What You Get With an IntelliData VM
⚡ Dedicated resources, not shared tenancy.
Your CPU, RAM, and SSD storage are yours. No noisy neighbor stealing your IOPS at month-end close.
💾 SSD-backed storage and unlimited bandwidth.
No egress fees. No throttling. No bill surprises when traffic spikes.
🔒 SOC 2 examined hosting environment.
Our IntelliData Hosting Platform is examined annually by an independent third-party auditor against the AICPA Trust Services Criteria for Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. Compliance is built into the platform — not bolted on by you after migration.
🛡️ Backups, firewall, and DR options included.
Flat monthly fee. The protections most cloud providers sell as add-ons are standard with us.
🎧 A named engineer on your account.
When you call, you reach someone who knows your stack, your application owners, and your last change window. Response times are governed by our written SLA — Level 5 incidents (stop-in-productivity) carry a documented expected response of under 1 business hour (IntelliData Solutions Service Level Agreement).
AWS, Azure, IntelliData — Side by Side
| What you're evaluating | AWS / Azure | IntelliData |
|---|---|---|
| Support | Tiered tickets, escalation paths, offshore chat | A named engineer who knows your environment |
| Pricing | Variable compute, egress fees, end-of-month surprises | Flat monthly fee. Firewall, backups, support included |
| Performance | Shared tenancy, throttled bandwidth, variable IOPS | Dedicated CPU/RAM, SSD storage, unlimited bandwidth |
| Compliance | Shared-responsibility model — you configure it | SOC 2 examined hosting platform |
| Blast radius | Region-wide cascades affecting thousands of businesses | Isolated environment, smaller failure domain |
| Relationship | Account number in a CRM | A partner with your engineers on speed dial |
Built for Workloads Where Downtime Has a Number Next to It
FDA-regulated firms running 21 CFR Part 11 workloads need validated environments and DR documentation auditors can read. We provide both.
AEC firms running AutoCAD, Revit, and BIM 360 need consistent render performance and fast large-file sync. Dedicated SSD storage and GPU options keep your designers working, not waiting.
Healthcare organizations handling PHI need HIPAA-aligned infrastructure with a signed BAA, not a generic "we support HIPAA" disclaimer buried in shared-responsibility docs.
Financial services firms need audit-ready uptime documentation and encryption posture they can hand to a regulator without translating.
DoD contractors and defense supply-chain firms working toward CMMC Level 2 need controlled environments — not a self-service portal and a 90-page PDF.
Mid-market firms tired of cloud bill roulette need predictable costs and a phone number that goes to a person.
How a Migration Actually Works
- 20-minute infrastructure review. We walk through your current environment, workloads, and pain points. No deck. No upsell pressure.
- Custom proposal in 48 hours. Specs, pricing, migration plan, and a named engineering lead — all on paper.
- Lift-and-shift migration handled by our team. Most workloads move in days, not quarters.
- A real person on your account from day one. Not a queue. Not a portal. A direct line.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a virtual machine, and why run one with IntelliData instead of AWS or Azure?
A virtual machine is a software-defined server running on a host. The question isn't whether VMs work — they all do. The question is who is responsible when one breaks at 2 a.m., what your bill looks like when traffic doubles, and whether the platform is built so a single hidden defect can take down half the internet at once. With IntelliData, the answers are: a named engineer you've already met, a flat monthly fee, and an isolated environment with a smaller blast radius.
How does your SLA work?
Tickets are routed by severity from Level 1 (inquiries, less than 1 business day) through Level 5 (stop in productivity, less than 1 business hour) (IntelliData Solutions SLA). The full document is available during evaluation — ask, and we'll send it before you sign anything.
Is the environment compliant?
The IntelliData Hosting Platform undergoes an annual SOC 2 Type 2 examination across the AICPA Trust Services Criteria (Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, Privacy), performed by an independent third-party auditor. Report available under NDA.
What about backups, firewall, and DR?
Included. Not an upsell. Disaster recovery site options are available as a separate service when you need a geographically isolated failover environment.
Can I bring my own application stack?
Yes. Windows, Linux, custom configurations, GPU acceleration — we tailor the VM to the workload, not the other way around.
