Transform the power of your infrastructure into business advantage

Enjoy more cloud benefits with an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – style service. Are you a large global organization looking for ways to increase the return on your existing investment by charging back compute resources to business units? Or are you just starting up and need a faster, simpler, more cost-effective way to run your core IT while focusing on business-differentiating apps?

We can help you bring the benefits of IaaS to your business by turning your computing investment into a powerful on-demand service that can be scaled to meet the dynamic needs of your business. And without the complexity of managing an unintegrated physical environment, you'll save time and manpower too. The headaches of finding space in a datacentre and managing constrained power-and-cooling will also become a thing of the past.

The benefits include

  • Increased datacenter efficiency
    Consolidating hardware, reducing management complexity and resource utilization, such as power, delivers vital efficiency gains.
  • Faster commissioning
    Highly flexible, virtualized infrastructure allows on-demand infrastructure scaling.
  • Lower capex
    Virtualizing your IT estate means less capital required for new hardware and upgrades.
  • Reduced opex
    A consolidated IT environment delivers savings in power, space, cooling, and
    admin manpower.
Our IaaS approach

With Microsoft's Hyper-V technology at the core, we can help you create an elastic computing capacity which enables you to adapt more efficiently and effectively to IT demand.

We use a proven methodology, based on thousands of cloud implementations, to create a solution that's resilient, optimized to your business needs and aligned to your processes.

Our 3-step process involves

  1. Standardization and consolidation – optimizing computer resources by standardizing on the best technology tools and processes, rationalizing the datacenter, and pooling and virtualizing resources to streamline infrastructure. This prepares you for moving to IaaS.
  2. Integration and automation – to optimize operations, using provisioning techniques to shorten turn around times, introducing best practice and standards-based frameworks, and increasing automation.
  3. Service orientation – to improve service delivery by linking operations to business services, making them more predictive, and using automation and dynamic provisioning to create a true IT utility.
