OPTIMISED ENTERPRISE APPLICATIONS ON CLOUD THROUGH IaaS Protect your Investment. Gain Agility. Keep Control.
T
he pandemic has brought many changes to businesses and the way they engage with their stakeholders. Budget holders plan on aggressively shifting away from owning hardware to operating more cloud services. The move to the cloud is done for obvious business reasons – the first one being lower up-front costs, secondly to optimise operating expenses and ultimately achieving the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO).
TRANSFORM CLOUD SPEND INTO STRATEGIC VALUE The cloud has proved itself extremely valuable in these highly volatile times, and organisations certainly will not be going back to the old way of doing things. Cloud infrastructure services, known as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), are self-service models for accessing, monitoring, and managing remote data centre infrastructures, such as compute, storage, networking, and networking

services. Instead of having to purchase hardware outright, users can purchase IaaS based on consumption, similar to electricity or other utility billing. With IaaS, you can move onpremise ERP/CRM/HR/WMS/ eProcurement applications to the cloud – preserving years of effort and major investment in customisations and configuration. In addition, cloud applications can be accessed from anywhere in the world and deployed in hours, days, or weeks (depending on the complexity of the applications). Even though you are not required to manage the IaaS physical infrastructure, you are required to have control on the operating system, the databases, and the application itself. This means you can perform updates and maintenance on your own schedule, just as your IT department did on-premise.
