Datacenter-as-a-Service is similar to other service types, including software-as-a-service and infrastructure-as-a-service. In this model, the data center provides a dedicated cloud infrastructure that is designed for enterprise types of companies, but it can also be used by smaller businesses or businesses that are experiencing rapid growth of computing requirements, data storage, or a combination of needs.
With datacenter-as-a-service, the cloud provider, or the data center, is responsible for creating the unique infrastructure required by the company or the business. This includes creating customized solutions for storage, workload, resource allocation and management, server solutions, and networking resources for the cloud application.
The Benefits
The business benefits by having these aspects of the cloud computing requirements managed by the data center, eliminating the need for in-house IT teams to provide the services. It also reduces the time it takes to move from on-site servers and systems to those operated in the data center.
Many of the top data centers offer migration-as-a-service, which includes strategically planning how and when to move different aspects of the business to the cloud. Using the experts at the data center makes the process more effective and eliminates the common migration problems when in-house IT teams take on this task.
In addition to creating a dedicated cloud infrastructure, data centers can provide a variety of services that support the infrastructure. These can include security-as-a-service, backup-as-a-service, disaster recovery-as-a-service, and storage-as-a-service. These options provide a level of support that is extremely challenging for a business to maintain with an in-house server or even with bare metal or colocation server options.
