At Digital Agent, we understand that no two businesses are the same. What works for one business may not work for another. There are several advantages to moving to the cloud, including reduced costs, flexibility, and increased data security to name a few. However, it’s critical that a customized approach is taken to determine the best cloud solution for your organization. If you want to take full advantage of the cloud, it’s best to work with a provider who will recommend the right options to meet your needs.
There are no cookie cutter solutions, especially when it comes to cloud services. At Digital Agent, we understand this better than anyone. That’s why we empower success within your organization by uncovering your needs, goals, and budget before recommending a cloud solution. We will provide the support and technical expertise necessary to ensure the implemented solution is a success.
Cloud Infrastructure: IaaS
Whether you’re on-site or in the cloud, building your network infrastructure from the ground up can be costly and time-consuming. An important factor to consider with transitioning to the cloud is the availability of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). An IaaS provider charges a low monthly fee in return for setting up, managing, and updating your cloud-based network.
How IaaS Can Be Utilized
Enterprise Infrastructure. IaaS can be utilized by internal business networks, such as private clouds and virtual local area networks. These use pooled server and networking resources, allowing a business to store their data and run the applications they need to operate day-to-day. With IaaS, expanding businesses can scale their infrastructure in accordance with their growth. Meanwhile, private clouds can protect the storage and transfer of sensitive data that some businesses are required to handle.
Virtual Data Centers (VDC). A VDC is a virtualized network of interconnected virtual servers which can be used to offer enhanced cloud hosting capabilities, enterprise IT infrastructure, or to integrate all of these operations within either a private or public cloud implementation. Digital Agent offers both connections to the internet and IaaS cloud data center access from the same centralized provider. Get all the benefits of the cloud, plus the security and reliability of direct Layer 2 access with or without requirement of expensive MPLS links.
Benefits of IaaS
- Scalability. Our cloud services allow you to scale up as business needs change and keep your business agile. Resources are available when you need them and, therefore, there are no delays in expanding capacity or wastage of unused capacity.
- No Investment in Hardware. Deploying a cloud solution requires little to no upfront cost. The underlying physical hardware and operating systems that support an IaaS service are set up and maintained by the cloud provider, saving the time and cost of doing so on the client side.
- Location Independence. The service can usually be accessed from any location as long as there is an internet connection and the security protocol of the cloud allows it.
- Physical Security of Data Center Locations. Services available through a public cloud, or private clouds hosted externally with the cloud provider, benefit from the physical security afforded to the servers which are hosted within a data center.
- No Single Point of Failure. If one server or network switch fails, the broader service would be unaffected due to the remaining multitude of hardware resources and redundancy configurations.
