OVERCOMING CHALLENGES
Designing the perfect IaaS
Swapping from on-premise to cloud, or using IaaS for the first time, comes with unique challenges that are likely to be unfamiliar to you. We can help you navigate them smoothly and avoid the common pitfalls that catch many organisations out.
The big five challenges of IaaS:
Providers
There are hundreds of potential providers offering IaaS solutions – so choosing the right one, with the right products, and the right experience – is going to determine how effective your setup is.
Security
Trusting an external party with your sensitive information can be a difficult choice to make. Our cyber security experts will rubber stamp every decision to ensure that your protection comes first, whatever the architecture.
Integration
Businesses come with baggage. Some legacy systems will need to be retained and integrated into a new architecture and some will be unsuitable and need to be retired and replaced. Assessing your databases, applications, and networks is a vital step in setting up your IaaS solution.
Complexity
On-prem hosted cloud IaaS can be challenging to deploy, configure, and manage – especially if it’s new to your organisation. Having an expert on hand means avoiding the common roadblocks and achieving full capability from day one.
Cost
Determining the right sizing and usage levels, optimising resource allocation, and controlling expenses are all essential tasks to keep costs down and value high. From the initial investment to the ongoing licenses, knowing where to find ROI is a skill in itself.
INDUSTRY INSIGHTS
We’re always looking ahead, so that our clients can stay ahead
AIaaS
Automated Infrastructure-as-a-Service, or AIaaS, automates provisioning, configuration, deployment, and monitoring. This technology can enable you to more quickly deploy and scale applications, while reducing operational costs and increasing efficiency.
M-CM
Multi-Cloud Management, or M-CM, allows you to orchestrate multiple cloud environments to quickly deploy and scale applications across multiple providers. This means you get greater flexibility and improved cost-efficiency, without losing availability.

Frequently Asked Questions
To understand more about IaaS, or ask any questions that we haven’t answered, please get in touch.
What is IaaS?
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a type of cloud computing service that provides virtualised computing resources over the internet, or via a providers’ private cloud infrastructure. With IaaS, you can quickly and easily scale their IT infrastructure on demand, paying only for the resources you use.
How is IaaS typically used?
Many organisations rely on IaaS because of the fluctuating nature of their environment. IaaS allows businesses to flex with demand, without having to overpay just in case. It’s also popular for storage, backup, and disaster recovery – for the same reasons.
How is IaaS better than traditional infrastructure?
Among the many benefits are cost savings, scalability, flexibility, and enhanced security. With IaaS, you can easily scale your IT infrastructure on demand, which helps reduce costs. You’ll also get enhanced security and flexibility, allowing you to easily customise their cloud services to meet their specific needs (and specific regulations.)
What’s the difference between SaaS, PaaS and IaaS ?
SaaS is the easiest and least complex, offering the use of tools and apps via the cloud. IaaS relates to the management of business resources (like network, servers, and storage). PaaS enables the building, hosting, and deployment of apps via the cloud.
