Unexpected traffic? Introducing Autoscale…

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

One of the many great benefits of Cloud Server Hosting is the ability to add resources when you need them, allowing you in seconds to meet the demand of increased website traffic, product promotions or viral marketing.

Of course, when adding resources you’re sometimes reacting to a slowdown in performance or feedback from your visitors. What if you could automatically scale your resources up to meet the demands of your application or customers?

This is what we call ‘Autoscale’, and as of now it’s available FREE for every server in your UKD Cloud account.

Simply tell the UKD Cloud how you want to scale up your server, and it will be closely monitored - dynamically increasing resources such as CPU and memory without disruption, or adding diskspace when you need it.

You will find the Autoscale feature located under the Overview of your UKD Cloud servers.
