Cloud Computing Explained

A style of computing where massively scalable (and elastic) ICT related-capabilities (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, services) are provided as a service to external customers using Internet technologies. These services can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.

There is now good industry agreement on three major layered delivery models:
 

• Software-as-a-Service (SAAS) Clouds where an application environment is provided
• Platform-as-a-Service (PAAS) Clouds where an application development platform is provided
• Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IAAS) where infrastructure capabilities such as storage or a bare operating system are provided

Strencom offers Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IAAS) within the three pillars of Cloud Computing. This allows you to overcome your requirement for large upfront costs of purchasing ICT infrastructure; instead you can lease your immediate requirements annually in a lower OPEX cost model.
