Why Cloud Computing?
Building, operating and upgrading IT infrastructure is a costly, complicated and resource-intensive endeavor which often distracts companies from achieving their primary business goals of serving customers and growing a profitable business.
Many businesses struggle daily with questions related to IT infrastructure. These include -
- How much computing capacity?
- Is it too little or not enough?
- Can I scale quickly?
- Do we have the staff?
- Do we have the expertise?
- Space and power for future expansion?
- 24 x 7 x 365 global support requirements?
- Protected from disasters?
- Data safety and security?
- IT spending versus business goals?
Cloud computing is high on the agenda for most CIOs because it address these challenges and helps companies of all sizes and types achieve a competitive advantage.
FusionStorm IT Xpress Cloud
IT Xpress Cloud, a vCloud Powered Service, is our latest offering -- a secure, enterprise-ready infrastructure-as-service offering which is hosted in one of our secure enterprise data centers and delivered for a simple monthly fee. Unlike first-generation cloud services, IT Xpress Cloud is secure, flexible, highly scalable and backed by industry-leading SLAs.
With IT Xpress Cloud, Virtual Machine Servers, and even entire applications consisting of many servers, can be deployed in minutes instead of months.
Powered by vSphere and vCloud technology from VMware, IT Xpress Cloud delivers powerful on-demand computing to customers without the “cloud lock-in factor” common to other services. You can move your existing VMware Virtual Machine servers and workloads into IT Xpress Cloud, then easily move them back into your data center or to another vCloud provider if the need arises. You can also use IT Xpress Cloud to build “hybrid” clouds consisting of both in-house and FusionStorm-resident clouds.
