Enterprise companies are known for large IT budgets and huge infrastructure. But what about their smaller teams — often 2 to 10 people — working on specific projects? For them, traditional enterprise IT is often overkill, while consumer-level hosting can’t deliver the required reliability or performance. This is where Cloud VMs step in.

1. The Gap for Small Teams in Big Companies

• Too heavy: Enterprise-grade solutions (like AWS, Azure) require steep learning curves, extra approvals, and complex billing.

• Too light: Shared hosting doesn’t provide security, scalability, or enterprise compliance.

• The result: Teams waste time waiting for IT or juggling underpowered tools instead of focusing on delivery.

2. Why Cloud VMs Make Sense

Cloud VMs provide the sweet spot:

• Autonomy: Teams can spin up their own environments in minutes without waiting for central IT.

• Scalability: Start small, scale resources only when needed.

• Cost-effective: Pay only for what’s used, instead of expensive enterprise commitments.

• Security: Unlike shared hosting, Cloud VMs can be isolated and secured per team/project.

3. Real-World Scenarios for 2–10 Person Teams

• Dev/Test Environments: Quickly launch isolated test servers for new features.

• Internal Tools: Run databases, dashboards, or automation without waiting on IT provisioning.

• Proof of Concept (POC) Projects: Spin up fast, scale only if the project succeeds.

• Departmental Apps: Finance, HR, or R&D can host small apps without enterprise-level delays.

4. Benefits for Enterprises

When small teams adopt Cloud VMs:

• Projects ship faster, since bottlenecks are removed.

• Innovation increases, because experimentation is low-cost.

• Central IT can stay focused on core infrastructure, while teams remain empowered.

5. Why Raff Is a Fit

Unlike big cloud providers, Raff is designed to be:

• Fast: VMs ready in seconds.

• Simple: Clean dashboard, no maze of options.

• Reliable: Powered by AMD EPYC servers.

• Economical: Maximum performance per dollar, without enterprise-style billing shocks.

For small teams inside enterprise companies, Cloud VMs aren’t just a convenience — they’re a competitive advantage. They enable speed, autonomy, and cost savings without sacrificing reliability.

Raff’s vision is simple: make enterprise-grade infrastructure accessible to every team, no matter the size.
