Why use Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)?

What is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and how does it work? IaaS is an instant computing cloud-based infrastructure.

An IaaS can transform your business processes and save you money every single day of the year. Utilising the latest enterprise-grade IaaS, you can access highly available compute to solve complex problems, and access huge storage with virtual networking capabilities.

Let’s break it down into the benefits that make it a valuable resource for your business and why at Lucidity IT, we implement these for new clients regularly.

Scale Fast and Save Money
One of the biggest benefits to your business is that your IaaS quickly scales up and down with demand. That means you only pay for what you use as you eliminate capital expense and reduce your ongoing costs. You can respond rapidly to shifting business conditions by scaling up resources for urgent or seasonal spikes and scaling down when it’s not needed. IaaS also allows you to scale development test environments up and down extremely quickly! Your testing/development team will love this and your accountant will love the saved dollars as you can bring new business line applications to project completion much faster.

Protected Data and Security
We all know that disaster and outage management can be a huge headache in business. IaaS solves this time consuming and expensive problem with high availability, business continuity and disaster recovery features. You feel confident knowing your system can handle any unpredictable demand, growing storage needs and has secure backup and recovery systems in place. Plus IaaS provides security for your applications and data that is often much better than what you are achieving in-house.

No More Maintenance Issues
With an IaaS, there is no more need for you to maintain and upgrade software and hardware or troubleshoot equipment problems. Built with absolute uptime as a mandatory requirement, our VMware based private/hybrid cloud has mandated lifecycle management. Our infrastructure is always patched and maintained by us, so your IT team can focus on providing outcomes for your internal and external clients.

Always Available

Leveraging a private/hybrid cloud deployment provides a true platform for success, always on, always available, always scalable, both servers and desktops, no matter where you are. Your IT platforms are waiting for you, you are no longer waiting for them.

At Lucidity IT, we can cater for any type of deployment that your organisation requires. If you require Layer 2 Networking into your Virtual Data Centre, we do it. Maybe you need a UTM-SDWAN Firewall Instance? We do that too. Maybe a self-service portal has been waiting on your business plan wish list? Talk to us at Lucidity IT. You define the requirement, we have got you covered.
