1. Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas) is a model for provisioning hardware (computing, storage, networking, etc.) to the end uers where the management of the underlying fabric is controlled by the provide but where the end user maintains control of the operating system and applicaitons that are installed within it.
2. Software as a Service (SaaS) is a model where Microsoft applications (for example, MS Office, Exchange, SQL Forefront, etc.) are provided, often times with IaaS and customers pay on a per-user/per month basis.
Infrastructure as a Service is an evolution in the way business will consume IT. There are a number of ways that IaaS from Decision Consultants is helping its clients improve on the way infrastructure is provisioned today.
Utilization – Today’s infrastructure must be designed for the worst case scenario of high demand. The end result is the low utilization of servers. With IaaS, utilization increases to take better advantage of the investment in hardware.
Server/User Ratio – In today’s infrastructure each IT administrator can manage fewer servers due to the lack of automation and other advances. With IaaS and its advances each IT administrator can manage more servers.
Deployment Scale – Today infrastructure must be designed for peak scale only. With IaaS the infrastructure capacity can grow and shirk dynamically based on the client’s demand.
Physical vs. Virtual – Today’s infrastructure is mostly physical. IaaS uses more virtualization to increase utilization, increase efficiency and lower cost.
Path to the Future – Today’s infrastructure make the transition to the public cloud difficult. By employing IaaS the path is clearer, easier and less expensive.
Reduced Costs: The ongoing IT operational costs and capital investment costs (servers, datacenter equipment) for Decision Consultants clients are reduced because cloud technology is paid incrementally, saving organization money.
Agility: Decision Consultant’ clients no longer have to worry about constant server upgrades and updates and other computing issues. They free themselves to concentrate on their individual core competencies.
Increased Efficiency: No longer do the IT personnel of Decision Consultants' clients need to worry about keeping software up to date. It’s all done as part of the monthly per user fee.
Scalable and Elastic – A Decision Consultants client that is using the power of the cloud can enable the faster delivery of capacity when resource needs change.
Highly virtualized computing gives you the benefits of increased utilization of your servers, power savings, and reduced server footprint. We are familiar with these as they are in datacenters today. However, this does not equal to the private cloud.
A Private cloud provides all of those benefits plus highly integrated and automated management, scalable and elastic platforms, and self service.
Mange Costs: The ongoing IT operational costs and capital investment costs (servers, datacenter equipment) are reduced because cloud technology is paid incrementally thereby saving the organization money.
Business Agility: One no longer has to worry about constant server updates and other computing issues. Your organization will be free to concentrate on its individual core competencies.
Improved Control: No longer do IT personnel need to worry about keeping software up to date.
