Cloud Computing Explained
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility over a Internet by Invistech.
It can be expensive and time consuming to build an infrastructure that supports your business applications, with the ability to predict surges in demand.
With Invistech’s Cloud Infrastructure, there is no need for upfront infrastructure costs, you can scale up and down when your business requires and you only pay for what you use.
The concept of cloud computing fills a perpetual need of IT: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. Cloud computing encompasses any subscription-based or pay-per-use service that, in real time over the Internet, extends IT’s existing capabilities.
Our cloud computing infrastructure consists of services delivered through shared data-centers and appearing as a single point of access for consumers’ computing needs. It offers full Disaster Recovery and Business Continunity as the Data Centers are replicated in real time.
Our services can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or Customer interaction.
There is now good industry agreement on three major layered delivery models:
- Software-as-a-Service (SAAS) Clouds where an application environment is provided
- Platform-as-a-Service (PAAS) Clouds where an application development platform is provided
- Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IAAS) where infrastructure capabilities such as storage or a bare operating system are provided
Invistech offers all three major Cloud Computing models. This allows you to overcome your requirement for large upfront costs of purchasing ICT infrastructure; instead you can lease your immediate requirements annually in a lower OPEX cost model.
