Questions
Cloud deployment FAQ
What's the difference between IaaS, PaaS and SaaS?
IaaS rents you the infrastructure (virtual machines, storage, networking) and you manage the operating system up. PaaS adds a managed platform so you only deploy your application and data. SaaS is a finished application, such as Microsoft 365, that you simply sign in to and use.
What is VPN as a Service?
A cloud-delivered replacement for the traditional VPN appliance. Users connect through the provider's network, and access to each application is granted by identity, device health and policy (zero trust) instead of by being "inside" the office network.
Should we choose public or private cloud?
It depends on the workload. Variable or fast-growing workloads usually fit public cloud such as Microsoft Azure. Steady, sensitive or legacy workloads often run better and cost less on dedicated private cloud hosting. Many organizations use both, in a hybrid design.
Can you move our existing physical servers?
Yes. We convert physical Windows and Linux servers to virtual machines (P2V), test them, and then run them on private cloud hosting, in Azure or back on your own hardware.
Do you still back up cloud workloads?
Always. Cloud providers keep their platforms running, but protecting your data is your responsibility. Every CTI deployment includes backup, monitoring and a tested recovery plan.
