Public Cloud Infrastructure

Conducting a thorough workload analysis can make or break the success of a cloud strategy.When assessing workloads to identify candidates, I often find myself asking:
What criteria should be considered when determining what workloads are a good fit for a new cloud environment?
What is the best way to capture and evaluate the criteria with minimal effort and impact on a busy IT department?
A thoughtful and efficient workload assessment framework can simplify and streamline the analysis. Without the right methodology, it can be difficult to know where to start, let alone where to finish We take a look at you workloads from 5 different perspectives and consult you on the right optimized cloud strategy for Infrastructure and applications 1) Business Impact 2) Application architecture 3) Technical aspects 4) Non-Functional requirements 5) Support and costs

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is an instant computing infrastructure, provisioned and managed over the Internet. Quickly scale up and down with demand, and pay only for what you use.

IaaS helps you avoid the expense and complexity of buying and managing your own physical servers and other datacenter infrastructure. Each resource is offered as a separate service component, and you only need to rent a particular one for as long as you need it.

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is a key enabler of software-driven innovation – facilitating rapid iteration and developer agility. It comprises a set of tools, libraries and services for deploying, managing and scaling applications in the cloud. Adopting an enterprise-grade, multi-cloud PaaS solution frees developers to create game-changing web and mobile applications. It also allows these applications to scale across cloud environments, based on the business need.

Like IaaS, PaaS includes infrastructure—servers, storage, and networking—but also middleware, development tools, business intelligence (BI) services, database management systems, and more. PaaS is designed to support the complete web application lifecycle: building, testing, deploying, managing, and updating.

PaaS allows you to avoid the expense and complexity of buying and managing software licenses, the underlying application infrastructure and middleware or the development tools and other resources

It is a method of software delivery where applications are hosted remotely by a vendor or service provider and are made available to customers over a network. Simply put, users rent the software instead of purchasing it.

All of the underlying infrastructure, middleware, app software, and app data are located in the service provider’s data center. The service provider manages the hardware and software, and with the appropriate service agreement, will ensure the availability and the security of the app and your data as well. SaaS allows your organization to get quickly up and running with an app at minimal upfront cost.
