Rising Cloud is “The Cloud” allowing developers to take code from computer to cloud in five minutes.
Rising Cloud is the most efficient, least expensive and only truly transparent cloud compute platform in the world. It is an elastic, scalable, multicloud.
Tell us about yourself?
Founder of Multus Medical the only Patented 3D MRI and Surgical Animation company. Managing member of Wattel & York a multi-state Personal Injury law firm.
33 year licensed lawyer, Arizona, Washington and Oregon. CEO of Rising Cloud. I wanted to create a program that was more efficient for my own businesses as well as for others.
If you could go back in time a year or two, what piece of advice would you give yourself?
Always look at the bigger picture. You never know who you can help, and who can help you. Be open to new connections, never quickly close a door.
What problem does your business solve?
Rising Cloud’s purpose is to create a low costing, yet more efficient cloud computing service. We created a platform that did not cost as much, and performed faster than the other computing company’s out there.
What is the inspiration behind your business?
Working with my other company Multus Medical, I wanted a platform that provided better performance, while not running our accounts dry.
We tried different platforms. I sat down with a colleague and we created something bigger and better than those out there already. I wanted to utilize it for my own company, as well as pass it out into the cloud computing world.
Companies you would not think use cloud services, it is everywhere, so why not help other businesses, while helping my own.
What is your magic sauce?
Rising Cloud is truly predictive and reactive cloud computing that costs up to 90% less than Amazon, Microsoft, and Google while giving your business the uptime risk management you require because of our non-regional data center approach.
We can offer up to a 60% performance boost and up to 90% savings on your cloud computing costs (only pay for what you use) while giving your business the ability to instantly scale up or down according to your needs.
What is the plan for the next 5 years? What do you want to achieve?
For Rising Cloud to be at the top. In the next 5 years, doable. We want to be in any company you can think of small, or large. Rising Cloud has potential, and we want everyone to be aware of that. No hiding in the background of us.
What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far?
Since we are a start up and our competition are large, there is trouble competing with the big name companies on a superficial level.
Once they hear what we have to offer, then they realize that we can be of greater value to their company. We have had to restructure our marketing and really push to be heard.
How do people get involved/buy into your vision?
Communication is key. Networking, making introductions and channel partnerships is how we engage with everyone we can.
Staying in the loop with those you make connections with and showing people when you stick with Rising Cloud, you are not only using the best program, you are joining the best team.
