The NaiaIT offering is the product and services that move organizations from a dedicated IT model to the shared private cloud, eliminating the headaches and financial drain of maintaining a full-service internal IT department.
Small to medium sized businesses typically do not measure Information Technology (IT) costs. IT seems to be a black box. As a consequence good money goes to waste. Even worse, the opportunity cost of IT making a real difference is rendered a pipedream.Naia Corporation is in the business of helping organizations use NaiaIT to streamline their IT operation and accelerate their growth momentum; obtaining an ROI on IT dollars spent.
Benefits of Cloud Computing:
- Decrease in Cost - the biggest advantage of cloud computing is the elimination of the investment in stand-alone software or servers by the organization.
- Speed and Scalability - the organization has no need to install the hardware or software for new applications; managers can easily scale up or down the services, limiting them according to their requirements.
- Innovation in Technology - the organization has no need to manage or own the resources; the latest innovations are maintained and pervasively available.
- Selection of Location – Naia has the freedom to select optimized locations for infrastructure, according to customer requirements, minimizing overhead expenses.
- Anywhere/Any Device - cloud computing services can be used and accessed from any device such as computer, mobile phone, or iPhone; 24/7/365.
DEDICATED MODEL:
- As previously stated, most companies (our market) have dedicated servers, software license fees & IT people. Also, local desktops are not virtualized, so a person has to touch all of the desktops each time patches are upgrades are needed.
- Unless the hardware is leased or financed at the bank, most of these costs are capital costs.
- IT vendors that supply consulting, implementation, programming, and other services have individually negotiated agreements.
- The use of 3rd Party add-ons are in use to address website integration, mobile application visibility, and advanced data analytics.
- Within the dedicated environment, no business application integration exists with popular applications such as Exchange (email), SharePoint, CRM, and Microsoft Office.
SHARED PRIVATE CLOUD MODEL:
- All servers and workstations are managed virtually within the datacenter ecosystem. Then, they are provisioned via an Internet connection to all customer users.
- Sharing the ecosystem among many customers allows IT personal to be consolidated, software & upgrades to be provisioned easily, and less moving parts reside on-premise.
- All costs are operational costs
- Users (and costs) fluctuate based on the headcount needs at any one point and time.
- Naia personalizes the cloud experience through the use of its secure private cloud, public cloud offerings, or a hybrid solution where on-premise infrastructure blends with the cloud.
- Special software and passive data collectors measure what an individual user actually uses in terms of datacenter resources. Then, the customer is billed for what they actually use only.
