Moving to the Cloud – TCO ConsiderationsMoving to the Cloud – TCO Considerations

• Time to implementation– BusinessCloud1 can provide resources for immediate use. Compute and

storage are available on demand –without human intervention.

• Cost of implementation– AIS absorbs the cost of implementation by using our resources –people,

capital, and facilities –to stay ahead of client demand.

• Hardware maintenance– AIS has invested in the best maintenance contracts available and also

builds spare hardware into their implementation model.

• Software licensing and maintenance– As a VMware partner, AIS has full VMware software support –for all

features –directly from VMware. AIS has also invested in industry-leading software features from NetApp, such as SnapCreator.

• Redundancy– BusinessCloud1 is built with no single point of failure. Every piece of

mission-critical hardware and cabling has been tested for failover. All switches and routers are configured in pairs; the storage equipment is also fully redundant.

• Feature set– AIS built BusinessCloud1 with all of VMware’s key features,

including the vCloud Director portal and its associated API. In addition, AIS is licensed for NetApp’s full feature-set, such as SnapCreator.

• Scalability– BusinessCloud1 allows to pay for the resources you need only

when you need them. Our virtual data centers are self-provisioning, so there is no provisioning lead-time.

• Reliability– AIS uses the widely-accepted ITIL reference architecture for service

delivery. We strictly adhere to Change Management procedures and notify clients of any change that might impact their services.BusinessCloud1’s underlying hardware and software have been configured the standard of industry best practices; all configurations are fully supported by our vendors.

• Performance– AIS BusinessCloud1 uses every bit of performance-enhancing technology

available. This includes the use of NetApp flash cache to speed up storage access and dual 10Gbps uplinks from every server into the storage network.
