Cloud delivery of a Windows Serverapplication may make sense for some companies. CATS has been involved in many opportunities to deliver SaaS and recently IaaS products for clients. The ROI is compelling when the total system life cycle maintenance is looked at. No longer are you asked to support the x86 system warranty, software licensing, hardware maintenance, backup, or high-availability. No longer are you responsible for the the costs associated with an on-premise installation, requisite hardware, and support and maintenance. In many cases, complete cloud based systems make sense. Many times, there is a transitional role that needs to carried out for these servers and systems.
CAUTION: The cloud is not a "one size fits all" place to deliver an application. Each opportunity needs to be adequately, thoroughly and cautiously vetted out.
CATS can provide a federation between your in-house Active Directory and other member servers that are in the Cloud. Achieve 100% Network Availability.
Research indicatesthat line-of-business applications can be delivered with a cloud initiative for hosting at reduced costs. VMware vCloud Express
With true "time orientated" pricing, you can build instances of servers to support an application, use Windows Server 2008 R2 with Remote Desktop Services enabled for secure web enabled delivery. At any time, you can add servers for more users, or increase "cycles" available for all users. Disk pricing is calculated separately, as is throughput, IP addressing, and Memory. This truly makes the hardware a commodity.
