What is Cloud Computing?
 
The PC era brought computing power into the hands of the users, but left them still dependent upon IT to provision the back-end infrastructure such as networks, servers, firewalls, etc. Since applications tend to be driven by departmental budgets, IT infrastructures often end up as over provisioned mishmashes of equipment, processes and technology entailing excessive cost and huge inefficiencies with servers usually running at 15-25% of capacity.
 
Virtualisation is a transformation from the traditional static data center to a monitored, metered, managed and automated environment where IT is dynamically provided as a service, known as a Cloud. In the Cloud model, computing not only becomes efficient, but makes another titanic shift of control back to the user. They specify the levels of performance, reliability and security required for an application, and the required virtual infrastructure is automatically provisioned and deployed within seconds, enabling a company to innovate and grow faster.

In the past, it could take a company six to eight weeks to commission a server. Now, computing power and storage space is becoming a commodity, bought when needed and scaled up when necessary. This dynamic resource management is enabling organisations to respond faster to market changes and gain an advantage over their competitors. Cloud Computing offers companies the agility, scalability and promises guaranteed uptime.

The Benefits of Cloud Computing

The Commensus Virtual Infrastructure Platform (known as C-VIP) enables us to offer a comprehensive IT service delivery model to meet all of your Cloud Computing UK needs. Working with the very best vendors and latest technologies, we manage a geographically replicated VMware vSphere platform designed for the FTSE 500 but scaled to be affordable for SMEs alike. We can either support your in-house IT department, giving you more control and flexibility over your current IT systems, or provide you with a comprehensive Cloud Computing solution to act as an esaclation point to your on-premise infrastructure. Our Cloud gives users unprecedented responsiveness and agility, while reducing costs through increased consolidation, task automation and simplified management
 
By leveraging the efficient pooling of on-demand, self-managed virtual infrastructure with server consolidation, you can gain more from your existing server resources. Compared to onsite servers which usually run at 30% of capacity, we run our Cloud servers at about 70%. That’s both greener and considerably cheaper for you. With Cloud Computing you don’t pay anything when services are not required, working out much cheaper in the long run and all data is fully replicated, ensuring your continuity planning is built in to your Cloud.
 
This is just one of the many benefits of Cloud Computing. You also save on data center costs by reducing your physical infrastructure and improving your 'server to admin' ratio: Less servers and related IT hardware means reduced office space costs and reduced power and cooling requirements. You can securely backup and migrate entire virtual environments with no interruption in service. Planned downtime is eliminated and you gain the ability to recover immediately from unplanned issues. Migration to our solution is also pain free and you wont experience any downtime.
 
Productivity and innovation is also boosted as employees have access to the latest technology without the need for investment in upgrades. Small and medium-sized businesses get world-class IT on a global scale. Cloud Computing enables employees to also benefit from increased mobility with access to their desktop from any corner of the world.
