Cloud Solutions
We help you reduce costs by safely housing your essential applications in a highly secure environment.
Is it time to replace your outdated hardware? Consider cloud solutions. Buying brand new hardware and replacing all servers requires a large capital expenditure. Instead of spending all of that money upfront and doing the same thing again a few years down the road, you could move everything to the cloud. Let Digital Agent show you the advantages of moving to the cloud.
Cloud Solutions and Cloud Computing Service Models
Buy hardware, use hardware, replace, repeat. When you crunch the numbers, most small and medium-sized businesses would save thousands by breaking this cycle. That’s why you should be asking Digital Agent about infrastructure as a service (IaaS). Not only will your valuable data and essential applications be safely housed and replicated in a highly secure environment, you’ll always be doing business on up-to-date hardware without forking out a fortune every few years. Digital Agent’s IaaS model is designed to be securely accessible via broadband internet 24/7. Your employees can work from anywhere and in any time zone with cloud-based data storage. With various types of cloud computing service models, Digital Agent has the solutions to help you utilize the cloud platform for nearly all of your systems and processes.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is one of the fundamental service models of cloud computing. As with all cloud computing services it provides access to computing resources in a virtualized environment, “the cloud”, typically across a public internet connection. With IaaS, the computing resource provided is specifically that of virtualized hardware, or in other words, computing infrastructure. The definition includes such offerings as virtual server space, network connections, bandwidth, and IP addresses. Digital Agent is a managed service provider, meaning not only do we set up your virtual hardware and software, but we take the burden of managing this infrastructure completely off of your plate, allowing you to focus on growing your business.
Similar to other forms of cloud hosting, IaaS can be utilized by enterprise customers to create cost effective and easily scalable IT solutions where the complexities and expenses of managing the underlying hardware are outsourced to Digital Agent. If the scale of a business customer’s operations fluctuates or they are looking to expand, they can tap into the cloud resource if and when they need it rather than purchase, install, and integrate hardware themselves.
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Software is expensive to buy and taxing to maintain. It’s impossible to sell your software back if your needs change. Paying for Microsoft and other software products at a simple, low monthly rate makes much more sense for many companies. Digital Agent has helped many small-to-medium-sized businesses reduce costs with software as a service—a software distribution model in which we make applications available to your business over the internet. You no longer have to worry about keeping software and applications on every employee’s computer up to date—with SaaS, it’s all taken care of in the cloud. Plus, you can access your software and applications from any device, anytime as long as you have an internet connection.
Advantages of software as a service include the following:
- Flexible payments
- Scalable usage
- Automatic updates
- Accessibility and persistence

Migrate Your Data Safely to a Secure Location
Digital Agent will help you make the transition and show you just how beneficial cloud services can be.
Why Cloud Services?
Many businesses have adopted a cloud computing model over the last several years. In fact, in a LogicMonitor survey, experts predicted that 41% of enterprise workloads would run on public cloud platforms (Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, Google Cloud Platform) by 2020. An additional 20% are predicted to be private-cloud-based, followed by another 22% running on hybrid cloud platforms. Cloud computing refers to a system of using computer services over the internet. If you are still on the fence about moving your business to the cloud, here are a few reasons why you should:
- Reduced costs
- Flexibility/mobility
- Scalability
- Data security
- Improved collaboration
Your business can easily improve the level of efficiency and productivity in your office while reducing costs by switching to the cloud. Digital Agent can help you make the transition and recommend a fitting solution that makes sense for your business.
Make the Move to the Cloud
Migrating your workload to the cloud allows your business to scale more easily and reduce operational costs. Let our highly experienced team make the transition easy for you.
Is a Cloud Solution Right for Your Business?
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. No matter what solution we determine is best suited for your organization, we will provide the support and technical expertise necessary to ensure the implemented solution is a success.
How IaaS Can Be Utilized
Enterprise Infrastructure. IaaS can be utilized by internal business networks, such as private clouds and virtual local area networks, which use pooled server and networking resources and in which a business can store their data and run the applications they need to operate day-to-day. Expanding businesses can scale their infrastructure in accordance with their growth whilst private clouds (accessible only by the business itself) 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. In conjunction with Digital Agent, transport IP access IaaS performs at Layer 2 as if computing power were located on the LAN itself. Very few competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs)/internet service providers (ISPs) offer 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.
IaaS Benefits:
- 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.
