Why should I use Spinup?

Problem

Ease of use-
- Spinup has been designed to be easy to use. There is no need to learn about cloud platform specific processes, procedures and terminology. It just works.
Security-
- Spinup servers are located behind the Yale enterprise firewall. No direct access from the internet means that malicious actors are not able to reach the servers. Operating system patches are automatically and regularly applied.
Access to Yale services-
- Because Spinup servers are part of the Yale network, you can access services such as mail, Active Directory (AD) and Storage@Yale shares. Also operating system licenses are included under Yale’s enterprise agreements.
Networking-
- There is a dedicated network connecting Yale campus to cloud providers. This guarantees faster and private connectivity. Spinup servers are assigned Yale IP addresses and registered with Yale’s DNS.
