Cloud Infrastructure

With so many cloud solutions out there we have picked out the best ones suited to small to medium sized businesses. Below are a list of services most popular with SMEs which offer a pay as you go service. Here at CEST we believe you should leave the IT to us and you just carry on running your business.

 

IaaS - Infrastructure as a Service

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is an instant computing infrastructure, provisioned and managed over the Internet. The cloud computing service provider manages the infrastructure, while we purchase, install, configure, and manage your own software, operating systems, middleware, and applications.

SaaS - Software as a Service

Software as a service (SaaS) allows users to connect to and use cloud-based apps over the Internet. Common examples are email, calendaring, and office tools (such as Microsoft Office 365). SaaS provides a complete software solution that you purchase on a pay-as-you-go basis from a cloud service provider.

DaaS - Desktop as a Service

Desktop as a service (DaaS) is a cloud computing solution in which virtual desktop infrastructure is outsourced to a third-party provider. DaaS functionality uses virtual desktop, which is a user-controlled session or dedicated machine that transforms on-demand cloud services for users and organisations around the world. This is an efficient model in which the service provider manages all the back-end responsibilities that would normally be provided by application software.
