Infrastructure as a Service

As business technology increasingly embraces an "everything-as-a-service" cloud computing model, having access to quality infrastructure becomes the foundation stone upon which service providers can build successful client offerings. Channel Partners looking to expand their cloud services capability are currently faced with two alternatives;

  • The prospect of paying ever-increasing costs to co-locate, or alternatively;
  • Making a large capital investment to build a new facility.

Neither is ideal for moving quickly to seize current and emerging cloud services opportunities. Both of these options also involve inherent capital and logistical risks that will distract your business and divert valuable resources from higher margin customer engagement services.

Meet Market Demands

Infraserve's Infrastructure-as-a-Service offering facilitates a rapid capability to support growing public and private sector demand for cloud services by:

  • Simplifying the process;
  • Speeding up deployment;
  • Reducing the complexity of rolling out new infrastructure; and
  • Providing enough space, power and connectivity to support up to 60,000 servers.

Infrastructure-as-a-Service delivers as standard:

  • All of the physical servers and storage needed to configure whatever cloud computing  services you need to provide;
  • Core network connectivity; and
  • Core security and data back-up options.
