WHAT IS IaaS? Xigent’s Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a cloud computing offering that employs our Business Efficient IT (BEI) Methodology. Xigent operates a client’s virtual infrastructure environment in our high availability and hardened data center facility.

• Documented service level metrics and benchmarks

• Mature process and highly skilled team ensure SLA metrics are delivered on a consistent basis

• Monthly reporting of infrastructure and SLA performance

Greater infrastructure availability:

WHAT PROBLEMS DOES IaaS SOLVE? • Existing infrastructure is not flexible or scalable enough for the business causing slow deployment

of new services resulting in low IT user satisfaction and profitability.

• Existing infrastructure is outdated because updates are costly, disruptive, and time consuming.

• IT staff can only focus on day-to-day tasks required to keep the existing infrastructure operational and unable to focus on higher value activities for the business.

• It is costly to build a highly available, compliant, and secure infrastructure environment that delivers consistent service level performance and keeep it operating at peak efficiency over time.

• IT staff may not have the skills or bandwidth to design, plan, build, and maintain a Business Efficient IT environment.

• Investments in process, technology, and people have not been made to the point where the internal level of infrastructure maturity can deliver consistent quality service meeting SLAs in the most efficient manner possible.

PRICINGA monthly fee is charged based on the size, scope, and resources required by the customer. Contracts are typically 48-60 months in duration. A setup fee may be charged to initiate the IaaS solution.
