Cloud Computing

"Cloud Computing" means many things to different people, and is complicated by other terms in the marketplace including Grid Computing, Utility Computing, Infrastructure as a Service (laaS) and Virtualisation. The paradigm and its possibilities have been debated over recent years, but Interactive has made the dream a reality.

At Interactive, we simply take Cloud Computing to mean choice:

  • Having some or all of your ICT requirements delivered as an on-demand utility
  • Determining which systems run on cost-effective virtual servers, and which call for dedicated servers to meet your internal or external security and compliance requirements
  • Continuing to invest capital, resources and real estate into creating, maintaining and protecting your ICT infrastructure – versus the ability to access ICT services on a pay-as-you-use basis
  • Maintaining an increasingly complex infrastructure in-house, or employing the benefits of virtualisation and systems availability expertise in an optimum ICT environment with all the benefits of resilience, security, power redundancy, diversity of communications links and 24x7 access to advanced technical skills

All of the Cloud Computing services we offer are entirely configurable and tailored to your business needs – technical, economic and seasonal. Our on-demand Cloud Computing deliverables encompass:
