Cloud Services: The New IT Infrastructure Model

AIS provides enterprise-class cloud services that empower business leaders to transform capital expense (CAPEX) into operating costs (OPEX).

AIS BusinessCloud1 is based on the popular and powerful VMware cloud software suite, chosen for its widespread adoption, class-leading functionality, superior roadmap, and robust support ecosystem.

Note: VMware is the market leader in virtualization and has about 400,000 customers, including all of the Fortune 500 and all of the global Fortune 100. As such, our cloud services technology is field-proven.

Cloud Services Enable a Wide Range of Options

Typical scenarios for business clients using AIS BusinessCloud1 include:

  • IT Extension, where a Layer 3 VPN connection is added to the company’s current VMware infrastructure and then managed using vCenter.
  • Hybrid Cloud, which provides instant IT scalability with built-in firewalling, single management console, and complete public / private network isolation.
  • Rapid Scaling (bring-up and tear-down) of massive quantities of virtual machines for short-lived IT projects (e.g., test and development).
  • Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity (DR/BC), which with zero CAPEX investment can mirror data between geographically diverse sites in both public and private cloud systems with full infrastructure duplication.

Note: Many clients choose to use the AIS private regional optical network (with redundant 10GigE transport) to/from the AIS Van Buren Data Center (VBDC) in Phoenix – considered to be one of the safest locations in the USA in terms of protection from natural disasters.

Brand-Name Suppliers, World-Class Service

AIS BusinessCloud1 features state-of-the-art hardware infrastructure from acknowledged market leaders Arista, Cisco, Dell, and NetApp.

We’ve integrated this software and equipment with our redundant optical network between physically diverse AIS data centers for maximum cloud services security, performance, and flexibility.

To keep things simple, there are two basic cloud services pricing models for a virtual data center (vDC), both of which include real-time support and easy access to the browser-based self-provisioning portal:

  • Pay-as-You-Go
  • Allocated Resources
