For all of its benefits, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is still not a turnkey solution — and it shouldn’t be. Service providers offer multiple flavors of IaaS to match your needs, from bare-bones self-service products to premium offerings bundled with strategy, consulting and management services.
Selecting the right blend of services at the most competitive price point requires a granular examination of your business and technical goals, your internal expertise, and your provider’s ability to align with your processes and tools.
For a discussion of these and other related issues, join GigaOM Research and our sponsor HOSTING for “Choosing service and management levels in the cloud,” a free analyst webinar on Tuesday, June 18, 2013, at 10 a.m. PT.
Our panel will address these topics:
- The major IT management challenges for businesses using IaaS
- The staffing, management and tool implications of each service type
- Integrating IaaS with existing infrastructure and staff
- Selecting the service types most appropriate to your business and applications
Our speakers include:
- Paul Miller, founder, the Cloud of Data, Analyst, GigaOM Research
- Kristina Yee, marketing principal, M4 Associates; analyst, GigaOM Research
- David Linthicum, SVP, Cloud Technology Partners; analyst, GigaOM Research
