BUILDING YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE (IAAS)

BUILDING YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE (IAAS)

Once upon a time, creating your technological infrastructure was more than just a headache – it was a hassle. From purchasing equipment and hardware, to having all the connections set up – and let’s not even discuss securing servers with the appropriate processors, memory and storage space. But those days are fading fast, thanks to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Let’s take a quick look at IaaS and how it can help you, your team, and your business not only get to where you want to be, but also how you can get there with the smallest possible amount of hassle.

What Is IaaS, and Why Is It Better?In a nutshell, IaaS allows a third party to host, or provide, your technology. This generally includes your:

• Hardware• Operating software• Processors and memory• Servers and/or Cloud storage• Whatever other technology you need (or should have) in

order to effectively do business on a daily basis These providers can – and usually do – offer additional services which assure your business technology continues to move forward,

and business owners have noticed: a staggering 93% of organizations surveyed are either running applications or experimenting in some way with Infrastructure as a Service. Infrastructure as a Service is great when you simply need to acquire the technology necessary to do your daily

work, and not have to worry about maintaining it. Additionally, some in-house IT departments will often make the decision to switch their company to an IaaS environment in order to take advantage of such benefits as:

• Having the most updated hardware• Reduced capital expenditures• Persistent processing speeds and storage space

Basically, IaaS allows you to send virtually all your technology-related headaches to your IaaS provider. If you need it, they’ll provide it – and usually in a customized package that’s built specifically for you.

No On-Premise Server NeededWhen starting a business in a new location, one of the largest upfront expenses is the company’s technology. There are workstations to secure, servers to purchase, and rack mounts to secure the network equipment. IaaS can certainly help to alleviate these particular costs by removing physical ownership from the equation.

We can provide you with all the workstations you require, but as for servers – the paradigm has shifted and on-premise ownership and implementation are a thing of the past. Today, your company can keep more than just your data in the Cloud – you can also run your entire infrastructure from an off-site data center. Lots of businesses are. IaaS currently represents almost 33% of the overall Cloud computing market in 2014, and revenues are expected to rise significantly over the coming years – from around 30 billion in 2015 to 130 billion by 2019. Imagine managing your business operations without ever owning a single server. With IaaS, we can create your entire network in the Cloud – preventing you from ever having to make a huge technology purchase. You can be up and running in a much shorter time with much less physical labor involved, at a manageable price.

Your Infrastructure Can Flex with Your CompanyThe ultimate goal of every business owner is growth. So, as your company begins its journey to the next level of success, you naturally need both your team and your technology to step up and produce more to meet the oncoming surge of extra work that comes with growth.

Preparing your team is your job. Preparing your technology is ours. As your business begins to increase production and grow, so must your network and storage. With IaaS, both of these aspects can scale up – or even down – as needed. For example, if your organization takes on a large project for a quarter, you will likely need additional resources to meet the demand. IaaS allows you to immediately request an increase of resources to handle the extra project workload. Then, when the project ends, IaaS enables you to flex back down your network capabilities and storage requirements to match up with your current level of business needs.
