Why use a cloud chat server?
Instant launch, perfect for software evaluation
By using the cloud version of Virola Server you do not need to worry about the server installation, renting or maintenance from your side. Virola Cloud allows registering a server and connecting Virola client right away. It will take a couple of minutes to set corporate messenger up and running.
At present Virola Cloud is available for free for testing purposes. If you need to support a high volume of conversations, files, and video sessions, use Virola self-hosted server.
Who can use Virola cloud?
Virola cloud is for those users who do not need a self-hosted corporate messenger and prefer using cloud solutions for their business needs. In addition, it is the best way to test Virola corporate messenger and to see if it fits your business needs. In case you decide to switch later to a self-hosted version, our team will provide the ability to migrate your database with user profiles, conversations and attachments to your new server. To be more specific, here are the main reasons for using Virola Cloud:
- You want to try Virola corporate messenger features and to play with settings to see if it fits your business needs;
- You have no skills and knowledge required to install a self-hosted Virola server;
- You don't have on-premise infrastructure;
- You don't want to rent a virtual server for hosting Virola server;
- You prefer using cloud solutions and think they are safer and more convenient than self-hosted ones.
