Comprehensive
A Comprehensive Retail Solution on a cloud computing platform
Retail Cloudhouse is more than a collection of retail business areas and technology components. With pay as you go pricing, you can save time by incorporating compute, database, storage, different business areas, delivery mechanisms and other services that will give you a head start on delivering for your business. All Retail Cloudhouse services can be used independently or deployed together to create a complete computing platform in the cloud to support a retail business.
Retail CloudhouseFront (BI Layer)
A web service that provides a high performance, globally distributed content delivery. Your application can use Retail Cloudhouse Front to easily distribute content to your users with low latency, high data transfer speeds, no commitments, and seamless integration within various aspects of your retail business
Retail CloudhouseCompute (ETL)
A web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud for your variable retail business needs. Use this service during peak seasonal times for your Point-Of-Sale (POS) processing through industry standard mechanisms
Retail CloudhouseDatabase Service (ARTS Data Model)

Retail Virtual Private Cloudhouse (VPC)
A secure and seamless bridge between a company as existing IT infrastructure and the Retail Cloudhouse environment. VPC enables enterprises to connect their existing infrastructure to a set of isolated Retail Cloudhouse resources via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection, and to extend their existing management capabilities such as security services, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems to include their Retail Cloudhouse resources.
Flexible
You know best how to solve the problems your business faces. Retail Cloudhouse does not force you to use any specific retail business area. Sometimes you all need Point-Of-Sale processing, other times it may be a Supply-Chain need. With Retail Cloudhouse, you can make the right decision for your business.
Scope agnostic
You are the boss. You choose the business area. You choose the delivery mechanism. You choose the configuration. Choose whatever makes the most sense for the job at hand.
Ready on day one
Retail Cloudhouse can run nearly any retail application in your datacenter. All you need to decide is when you are ready to save money, time, headaches, and hassle.
Application services
Don at start from scratch. Retail Cloudhouse provides you with compelling services for managing your retail data, delivery platforms, support infrastructure, and more.
Reliable
The Cloudhouse you can depend on
Retail Cloudhouse is powered by Amazon Web Services, which runs one of the world's largest networks of web sites, serving millions of customers every day and executing millions of transactions for both customers and sellers. Your organization can benefit from Amazon's investment without having to invest in any expensive hardware and networks.
With Retail Cloudhouse, you benefit from the existing world-wide expertise.
Scalable
We took advantage of the internet's massive compute capacity and storage to build applications your retail business demands, no matter how fast it grows or how big it gets.
We can handle spikes in usage
Our partnership with Amazon Web Services, which operates at such a massive scale, and because we enable such a diverse group of customers, we are able to absorb the peaks and valleys of your application, no matter how high or low they may be. Of course, you still only pay for what you use.
Reliable and redundant
Our datacenter is built using large amounts of commodity hardware. When one node fails, millions of other nodes pick up the slack. As a result, you gain all the benefits of an always-on and self-healing infrastructure, without ever having to configure or replace hardware.
Experience
Amazon has spent over a decade and over $2B running some of the world most scalable and sophisticated infrastructure. Mercury has built data management solutions for over a decade. ARTS has evolved an industry standard data model that can support your retail business. You can benefit from our experience of operations at massive scale.

Cost Effective
The cost effective alternative

Instead of investing in a solution, most aspects of which are irrelevant to your business; use only the parts of the application that are pertinent to you at an affordable cost.
