PUBLIC CLOUD

Sharing (Resources) is Caring
The public cloud allows companies of all sizes to access the convenience and operational efficiencies of the cloud. In a public cloud deployment, the provider retains ownership of all the hardware involved. At the provider’s site, resources are shared among all of their customers.
Intraserve Systems provides guidance for companies interested in the advantages of the public cloud. We can offer a direct connection to the public cloud and reduce many of the drawbacks of accessing important data over the public internet. Once a migration strategy is in place, Intraserve Systems engineers ensure the process goes smoothly, and after the deployment, you can count on the expertise of our team through our managed services packages.
Benefits of Public Cloud

PRIVATE CLOUD

Dedicated Resources On or Offsite When it comes to the cloud, we understand there’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all. At Intraserve Systems, our offerings are unique to the needs of the businesses we serve. A private cloud solution is a great option for companies looking to alleviate common cloud security concerns. In a private cloud, resources are designated exclusively to your company. Your data—and only your data—will use the servers and storage. You’ll also have the peace of mind that comes with being in control of your own custom built solution. Intraserve Systems will design and deploy your private cloud, and ensure you get the recommendations you need to help inform your cloud strategy moving forward. Benefits of Private Cloud

Cost Saving

Since your provider supplies the hardware, your company will not incur any on-going equipment or maintenance costs. With Public Cloud providers, you pay for what you use. The pay-as-you-go nature shifts data-related costs from a capital expense to an operational expense.

Flexibility

Expanding resources in an in-house data center involves hours of learning, set-up, and configuration time. In a public cloud deployment, the necessary hardware is already present and ready to use. Because of the large size of public clouds, you can easily scale up or down based on your business needs.

Secure and Direct Connection

Intraserve Systems can provide a direct connection to the public cloud that eliminates many of the connectivity and security concerns associated with cloud.

Control

You’ll have complete control and flexibility over managing your own systems.

Maximized Resources

Having your own virtual environment means you can get more value from what you already have—by allowing maximum use of your hardware investment.

ON-Premise OR Colocated

Intraserve Systems can design and deploy a private cloud environment both on-premise or in a colocated data center. We have data centers in downtown Chicago and elsewhere throughout the country available for your private cloud.

HYBRID CLOUD

The Best of Both Worlds
For any number of reasons, many companies find that neither a private nor a public cloud solution is an ideal scenario. Whether it’s storage, servers, the firewall, or some other data center component, you may want dedicated control of certain aspects of your data center. Combining features of both a public and private cloud, a hybrid cloud offers the best of both worlds: the cost savings (OpEx) of a public cloud and the increased security (for business critical items) of a private cloud. Typically, hybrid cloud solutions are off-premise with some elements of the data center designated exclusively to your company, while the rest are shared among other customers.
Intraserve Systems’Solutions Architects can work with your company to design a hybrid cloud strategy ideal for your unique specifications.

Customized Deployment

You have the flexibility to indicate what you do and do not want to share. For example, you can protect sensitive data with designated storage while sharing the compute power of the cloud.

Less Hardware

The burden of replacing, configuring, and deploying new hardware is greatly reduced in the hybrid cloud model. With the hybrid cloud, you’re only responsible for the hardware you want, or are capable of supporting.

Maximized Hardware Efficiency

Through the customized approach of the hybrid cloud, Intraserve Systems can help you structure your strategy in a way that maximizes the use of your hardware.
