TECHNICAL PROFILE:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X, 8 cores / 16 threads

RAM: 64 GB (upgraded from 16 GB)

Storage: Two Samsung 980PRO 512 GB NVMe drives in RAID 1 (Linux software RAID via mdadm)

A bare metal server solution like the one adopted for hosting the CLOUDERCAR management system offers significant advantages over a virtual server with more limited resources.

1. SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE

  • Dedicated CPU: The Ryzen 7 9700X is a high-performance processor with 8 physical cores and 16 threads, fully dedicated to your application. In contrast, a virtual server with 4 vCPUs shares underlying hardware with other tenants.
  • Ample RAM: 64 GB allows for handling demanding workloads, in-memory caching, database operations, and resource-intensive applications with ease.
  • NVMe RAID 1: Exceptional I/O performance (read/write) is achieved using high-speed NVMe drives like the Samsung 980 PRO, with RAID 1 providing data redundancy and increased reliability.
  • No virtualization overhead: Unlike virtual machines, bare metal solutions have no hypervisor layer between the OS and the hardware, ensuring maximum efficiency.

2. FULL CONTROL

  • Custom configuration: Full freedom to configure the operating system, firewall, security policies, and file system according to the specific needs of CLOUDERCAR customers.
  • Direct access to hardware: Both physical and logical access allow for advanced security setups and fine-tuned performance optimization.

3. GDPR COMPLIANCE & PRIVACY ADVANTAGES

  • Greater isolation: A bare metal server is not shared with other clients, reducing the risks associated with co-tenancy or accidental data leakage.
  • Data location control: Hosting is done in a data center located within the European Union, in full compliance with GDPR regulations.
  • Custom access logging and auditing: Enables enhanced security monitoring and accountability.
  • Enhanced data protection: Custom encryption settings protect both data at rest and in transit.

Conclusion:

By adopting a bare metal infrastructure, the car rental management platform CLOUDERCAR benefits from high transparency and enhanced control over data privacy and GDPR compliance, robust and consistent performance under heavy workloads, and complete authority over system configuration and banking transaction security (PSP integration). This architecture positions CLOUDERCAR as a scalable, secure, and future-ready solution in the car rental software market.

The RESELLER PARTNER feature is designed for authorized partners, such as car rental agencies, dealerships, workshops, external collaborators, accommodations, tour operators, travel agencies, etc., enabling them to independently submit rental requests for their clients through your CLOUDERCAR platform, benefitting your company directly.

To create a RESELLER PARTNER profile, you only need to enter the partner’s basic information and email address to provide them with private access to the vehicle types and categories you choose to offer. Partners can access this 24/7, with custom rates for each vehicle segment and pickup location (home delivery is also available).

With their login, the RESELLER PARTNER can independently check your vehicle availability. They only see the necessary information without viewing your daily operations. You retain control over whether to approve the rental. With one click, the chosen vehicle is added to your interactive calendar, and both the RESELLER PARTNER and the final driver receive an automated confirmation. They can also enter details for pre-check-in and complete online payment if requested upfront.

The RESELLER PARTNER feature can transform your business: the CLOUDERCAR rental management platform can be shared among rental companies, creating a collaborative network of RESELLER PARTNER, boosting both business and commissions.

Benefits of a PARTNER RESELLER account on the CLOUDERCAR platform:

  1. Access to exclusive rates: The RESELLER PARTNER accesses reserved ratesare usually not visible to end-users, allowing them to resell your rental services at the price set by your rental company, thereby increasing bookings for vehicles you place on the market.
  2. Centralized booking management: The RESELLER PARTNER account allows your partner to manage bookings for their clients on a dedicated, private platform, streamlining administration and reducing processing time. The request is handled online, with you simply updating the vehicle status; CLOUDERCAR takes care of the rest by sending confirmation with pre-check-in link, adding the booking to your interactive calendar and workflow, and handling online payment requests (if chosen). Everything is managed with a single click.
  3. Brand visibility enhancement: The CLOUDERCAR rental management platform makes it easy for trusted external collaborators to access and promote your brand, providing a smooth, intuitive, and fast experience. The final customer and your RESELLER PARTNER help spread brand awareness and boost bookings.
  4. Dedicated platform: With just an internet connection, RESELLER PARTNER can log-in to  their workspace to manage requests, confirmations, and final client data.

Practical Use:

A RESELLER PARTNER account is ideal for those looking to increase car, van, or scooter rentals without raising costs or workload. Instead, it creates a collaborative network based on the CLOUDERCAR management platform.
