IaaS - Infrastructure as a Service
IaaS is computing infrastructure provisioned and managed over the internet. There’s no need for physical servers or other datacenter infrastructure. That means big cost savings and far fewer management headaches for you. With IaaS, you can quickly scale up or down, using only the resources you need when you need them.
In partnership with Microsoft Azure, the cloud experts at Elevity will assist you in setting up your IaaS so it’s ready to host your operating systems and applications.
PaaS - Platform as a Service
PaaS provides a framework you can build on to develop or customize cloud-based applications. Like IaaS, PaaS includes infrastructure — servers, storage, and networking. But it also contains additional resources such as development tools, business intelligence (BI) services, and database management systems. It’s a complete development and deployment environment in the cloud.
The applications of a PaaS are limitless. You can analyze your business data to find patterns and make predictions. Create customized cloud-based applications with ease. And so much more.
SaaS - Software as a Service
If you use web-based email like Outlook or Hotmail, then you’re already using SaaS. With this service, you rent the use of an app (such as the Microsoft Office Suite) for your organization, and your users connect to it over the internet. Azure handles all the underlying infrastructure and security – all you have to do is pay-as-you-go.
SaaS will revolutionize your entire software purchasing model. There’s no need to buy, install, or maintain any hardware or software. SaaS automatically scales up or down based on your company’s usage level, saving you money. Even more sophisticated applications like ERP and CRM are very affordable with SaaS.
UCaaS - Unified Communications as a Service
Traditional phone systems no longer support the ways that many of your customers and employees prefer to interact. UCaaS Managed Voice Services seamlessly integrates all the communication methods you need into a unified, cloud-based system.
UCaaS is a highly secure, all-in-one solution that eliminates disparate systems and is accessible from anywhere there is an internet connection. Combine video conferencing, chat, phone, email, fax, text messaging and more to enhance your culture and productivity. Plus, benefit from advanced reporting and analytics capabilities to help manage and improve efficiencies throughout your organization.
