Running FileMaker on a generic cloud host means constant compromise. Soliant.cloud is built by AWS-certified and Claris FileMaker-certified engineers who configure every instance specifically for your solution - and stay available when you need them.
Most FileMaker hosts can stand up an EC2 instance. Very few have been independently audited and credentialed at the highest tiers of the AWS and Claris partner programs. Soliant.cloud has.
A SOC 2 Type 2 audit isn’t a self-assessment, and it isn’t a snapshot. An independent auditor examines our controls for security, availability, and confidentiality - and verifies they were operating effectively over an extended observation period, not just documented at a single point in time. We renew the audit annually. Most FileMaker hosting providers can’t make that claim - for clients in healthcare, finance, education, and other regulated industries, that distinction matters.
Generic hosting puts FileMaker in a box. We build an environment around it - configured to Claris specifications, maintained by engineers who know both stacks.
Every Soliant.cloud instance is built specifically to Claris server specifications - dedicated vCPUs on current-generation AWS infrastructure, correctly provisioned storage, and configurations that generic VPS providers simply don't know to apply. Your solution runs the way it was designed to.
"Expert" only means something when it's earned. Our engineers hold individual AWS certifications across Solutions Architect, SysOps, and Security - and we're an AWS Partner Network member at Advanced Tier and a Claris Partner Program member at Platinum. When something needs attention - AWS infrastructure or a FileMaker-specific issue - one team handles both. No hand-offs.
Storage volume scales self-service from the client portal - grow it on demand, no ticket required. Instance type (CPU and RAM) is right-sized in consultation with you so you see options and confirmed cost before anything changes. Either way, scale up as you grow or back down when demand softens - your bill follows what you actually need.
We don’t sell packages off a shelf. Answer a few quick questions about your solution and get a personalized estimate sized to what it actually needs - instantly, with no sales call - not a tier that may over- or under-provision you.
We size every environment to what your solution actually needs - then quote you based on that. Fill out a short form and your personalized estimate is generated on the spot - no call required.
More flexible than anyone else: storage volume is self-service on demand, and instance resizing is right-sized in consultation so cost is never a surprise.
Grow your storage volume on demand directly from the client portal - no ticket, no waiting. Instance type changes (CPU/RAM) are reviewed with you first so you confirm options and cost before anything changes.

All customers pay a fixed one-time setup fee, AWS infrastructure costs, and a monthly maintenance fee. FileMaker licensing sold separately - as a Claris Platinum Partner, we offer discounted pricing.
Claris publishes specific server requirements for FileMaker. Many hosts ignore them. Every Soliant.cloud instance ships with:
Maintenance isn’t a checkbox - it’s real-time monitoring, automated updates, and a team that can access your environment at any time:
The setup fee isn’t just “install FileMaker on a server.” It covers a complete AWS infrastructure stand-up, sized to your solution and architected to AWS standards from day one:
Why this matters: most FileMaker hosts put many clients into a single shared AWS account, separated only by VPC subnet. That lowers their cost - and concentrates everyone’s risk. We don’t share accounts. Your environment, your account, your perimeter.
Every instance includes SnapBack from day one (Standard or Premium). As your solution matures, add SideCar microservices to extend capabilities - each designed specifically for FileMaker on AWS.
Backups that happen in milliseconds, stored where ransomware can’t reach them. SnapBack captures a complete point-in-time snapshot of your entire FileMaker environment - database files, OS scripts, web server files, plug-ins, configuration - in seconds, not minutes. Snapshots live in Amazon S3 off-instance with 99.999999999% durability, so an instance compromise can’t take your backups with it. Pair SnapBacks with FileMaker’s native remote backups for defense in depth: a 15-minute RPO, RTO measured in minutes, and significant cost savings versus paying for retention on attached EBS volumes.

Learn more →A fully functional copy of your entire FileMaker Server stored in the cloud, ready to launch from the client portal in minutes - at a fraction of the cost of a standby server.
Learn more →Offload container data from your FileMaker database to S3. Reduce database file size, improve load times, and cut volume storage costs - with 11 nines of durability.
Learn more →Receive webhooks from Stripe, QuickBooks Online, Shopify, and any JSON-sending service into FileMaker. Fault-tolerant queueing with up to 14-day retry - handles spike loads automatically.
Real-time synchronous webhook proxy for FileMaker. When the calling service needs immediate confirmation that your FileMaker script succeeded or failed - this is the SideCar for that.
A private, encrypted backup channel walled off from your live instance - for clients with industry compliance or risk-mitigation requirements. Differential snapshots in independent object storage cut attack surface and cost.

Datadog is the observability standard for engineering teams who treat uptime as a feature - chosen by Fortune 500 enterprises, financial institutions, and cloud-native leaders worldwide. Soliant.cloud uses Datadog on every instance we host, because monitoring FileMaker production traffic deserves the same rigor.
This isn’t a hosted status page that tells you a data center is up. It’s full-stack observability - queryable in real time, alerting our engineers automatically when something needs attention. Most of the time, we know about an issue before you do.
OptiFlex Dynamic Docket lets you schedule when your FileMaker instances run - and when they don’t. Power down dev, staging, or after-hours environments automatically and resume them on schedule. AWS bills you only for the hours your instance is actually running.
For an environment running on a 40-hour-week schedule instead of 168 hours, that’s a ~76% reduction in compute cost - plus a smaller carbon footprint, with zero manual effort.

We found it was an extremely easy process to migrate our complicated system from another provider. The speed of the service was significantly increased and the customer service was better than we were used to. We were so impressed we moved a second, more complicated business over to Soliant.
On initial contact they spent a generous amount of time in conversation before recommending the right package. They've been able to provide all the technical services and backup support I required.
I have clients who cannot tolerate downtime. Soliant has set up monitoring tools and backups to help us achieve that. I would recommend Soliant cloud service because of their great service and superior setup.
Extremely reliable. We could never notice a downtime. Easy communication.
Their solution helped us increase productivity, quality, and efficiency. Our goals were met on time and on budget - a rarity these days. Support post-project is also excellent.
We help you identify the best path to the cloud - analyzing your current state and growth plans to design a tailored approach. Our team maps which AWS services can unlock new capabilities for your FileMaker solution.
We manage the entire infrastructure setup end-to-end. Every Soliant.cloud instance is thoroughly tailored to the FileMaker platform. We've automated the most common requirements, so each client benefits from the economies of scale.
When your application needs enhancements, you have access to our FileMaker-certified developers. With familiarity of your infrastructure and environment, they can quickly diagnose and design necessary changes - no ramp-up time required.
Your FileMaker solution belongs in the right hands. We size every environment to your solution and quote you based on that - no fixed tiers, no over-provisioning, no surprises.
