Infrastructure requirements of SaaS applications are dynamic and unpredictable. You need a solution which could handle dynamic and unpredictable nature.
This is the high level overview of the solution for SaaS applications infrastructure
6. How
Software
are
Now
• Always Available
• Platform Independent
• Always updated
• Auto Scale
• Robust
• Quick to Market
• Fast Deployment
• Collaboration
• Inter communication (API)
• Automation
• Fast Iteration (Build – Measure – Learn)
Now, modern software help us manage and
automate business functions e.g HR, Finance, Project
Management etc
8. How we
consume
software now
• Desktops
• Laptops
• Mobile phones
• Smart Watches
• Tablets
• Smart TV
• Glasses (Google Lens)
• IoT Devices
• And lot of other devices
9. What software can do and the way we
consume it, has evolved unprecedently.
The infrastructure to house modern
software has also evolved
What does this mean?
10. We need an infrastructure which is
scalable, flexible, secure, high performant
and cost-effective.
Solution
11. Solution
Cloud is the right infrastructure
solution for modern software or SaaS
applications which is scalable, flexible,
secure, high performant and cost-
effective.
It also offers some extraordinary
features which even other modern non-
cloud solutions can’t provide.
12. Example You may have a software hosted on some high quality servers
along with backup on multiple servers in a data center. It seems
to tackle with any type of difficult situation.
What if an earthquake strikes. The full data
center could be destroyed
Even if you have off site backup, it would take a considerable
time to restore. If there is a correct cloud implementation,
there would be no down time and your business would run as
normal.
14. Cost
Load on SaaS applications is usually
not predictable, especially if your end
client is general consumer.
If you buy sufficient fixed capacity, it
results in lot of wastage of capacity
which ultimately means money.
16. Flexibility
Cloud-based services are ideal for businesses
with growing or fluctuating demands.
• Scalability
• Disaster Avoidance and Recovery
• Storage Options
17. Efficiency
Enterprise users can get applications to
market quickly, without worrying about
underlying infrastructure costs or
maintenance.
• Accessibility
• Easy and Fast Deployment
• Quick to market
• Local Delivery
• Utility Pay structure
18. Security
Cloud service providers are using cutting
edge technologies in their data centers.
When it comes to “Security in the cloud”.
They adhere to strict security compliance
such as HIPPA and PCI .
Amazon even has GovCloud for the
customers who are concerned about the
different security compliance.
