RealPage Cloud boasts faster performance, lower costs

Companies hosting their IT infrastructure in the RealPage Cloud can expect performance up to 10 times faster and cost savings of up to 30 percent, based on reports from RealPage, Inc. A disruptive technology, Cloud Computing is currently changing the IT landscape in almost every major industry including rental housing.  

“We experienced a significant response time improvement in our Yardi Voyager environment after moving to the RealPage Cloud, largely because of upgrades in infrastructure, increased bandwidth and performance management by RealPage,” said Scott McCurdy, Vice President, IT-Pinnacle Family of Companies. “The positive changes have been noticed by our IT staff and all of our end users as well. We anticipated the performance improvements and in the end we got even more than we asked for with all of our critical systems.”  

Information technology research and advisory firm Gartner (News - Alert), Inc., recently reported that the cloud infrastructure services market is expected to grow from $2.7 billion in 2010 to $12.4 billion by 2014 - a whopping 48.8% increase per year. Total cloud-based revenue, including hosted software and Web services, is estimated to hit $148.8 billion by 2014, a clear indication of the huge opportunities that exist as companies explore new avenues in a bid to reduce costs and improve operating performance.

“Many companies are looking for ways to cut capital and operating budgets while delivering more technology services,” said Ty Brewer, VP of Cloud Computing at RealPage. “Speed, efficiency, and greater security are just some of the advantages available to companies that host their technology infrastructure with RealPage. I have experienced firsthand the speed of service and cost savings, both in leading the RealPage Cloud Computing division and prior to that as CIO of one of the nation’s largest property management companies, where we reduced our IT budget by approximately 30 percent while upgrading all of our systems. Near instantaneous response times and the ability to run some month-end reports up to 10 times faster also leads to better productivity.”

RealPage has invested more than $100 million in its data centers and cloud computing infrastructure in its commitment to providing its customers with all of the advantages of true cloud computing, including lower cost, greater efficiency, expertise, and better performance.

“Many top companies within the multifamily industry have chosen the RealPage Cloud over traditional hosting providers because it works better and provides a cost-effective solution to meet their IT needs,” Brewer noted.
