Simple, Fast Deployment

With just a few clicks, organizations can deploy fully configured enterprise environments. Most instances can be up and running in just 30 minutes. This saves users time and money by eliminating the need to download, install, and configure environments themselves. Users can choose from different instance types and sizes based on their budget and usage requirements.

Flexible and Easy to Maintain

Customers that deploy a MicroStrategy project on the cloud can dynamically start, stop, restart, and resize their environments. Organizations can reduce costs by stopping their environments during non-peak hours. Easily monitor and manage the environment with real-time notifications, automation, and scheduling.

Scalability

Seamlessly scale the environment up or down based on usage, without a long-term commitment. Customers can choose from 6 different instance size options ranging from 4 vCPU and 15.25 GiB to 64 vCPU and 488 GiB of memory. Organizations can add new users at any time, deploy multiple environments and projects as they see fit, and pay only for what they use.

Global Availability

With MicroStrategy on the cloud, benefit from distributed and redundant systems in 42 availability zones covering 16 geographic regions around the world. Deploying closer to your user base reduces latency and allows for faster response times. And using regional data centers helps organizations ensure compliance with local laws and regulations.
