As your teams rely on more SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS services, Microsolve consolidates these into a single, security-first environment with central visibility, governance, and support across all locations.
The Advantages of Cloud Computing: Why it's the Future of Technology
Modern technology like cloud computing, come with a range of benefits for your business. Cloud-based IT solutions can help you:
- Reduce your IT infrastructure costs
- Scale resources up or down as required
- Manage your IT costs with a fixed monthly price
- Manage IT services to agreed service levels (SLAs)
- Focus on building your business rather than managing complex IT systems and infrastructure
- Support an increasingly mobile workforce; and
- Minimise labour, training & infrastructure needs.
The Future is in the Cloud: What You Need to Know About Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is a revolutionary technology that allows you to access, store, and process your data and applications using a network of remote computers over the internet, rather than relying on a local server or your computer's hard drive.
This technology provides a safe and secure solution for managing and supporting your information technology needs, allowing you to consume IT resources like a utility based on usage, rather than having to build and manage the required IT infrastructure in-house.
Public Cloud
Public cloud services are delivered over the internet using public bandwidth and resources. Customers only pay for the storage, bandwidth, or CPU cycles they use. Examples of public cloud services are:
- Amazon Web Services (AWS);
- Microsoft Azure;
- Google Compute Engine; and
- IBM/SoftLayer.
Private Cloud
A secure private cloud is exclusively created for your business, providing more control and management over your system. This allows you to ensure that the security and governance of your cloud solution are designed for your specific requirements.
Hybrid Cloud
Hybrid cloud combines private and public cloud services. It typically uses a private cloud foundation and integrates a mix of public cloud services, such as SaaS and IaaS, for flexible virtual resources and the latest applications. You can run sensitive workloads in your private cloud while using the public cloud for scalable, cost-effective infrastructure.
Software as a Service (Saas)
This is a software licensing and distribution model in which you subscribe to use software applications that are centrally hosted by a service provider or vendor. It is also called "on-demand software." Instead of installing and maintaining the software, you simply access it via the Internet, thereby freeing up your IT team from complex software and hardware management.
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Platform as a service is a cloud-based platform environment in which you use a web-based platform on which to support the complete lifecycle of building and developing your cloud-based applications. In other words, middleware as a service for cloud-based solution development. PaaS enables you to develop, deploy, run, and manage web applications faster without the complexity of managing the underlying infrastructure.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Infrastructure as a Service is a cloud infrastructure solution that provides computing resources such as servers, networking, storage, and data centre space on a demand basis. This reduces the need for you to invest in your own hardware and allows you to support the dynamic and ever-changing workloads of modern businesses.
