14. Moving to the Cloud – TCO Considerations
• Time to implementation
– BusinessCloud1 can provide resources for immediate use.
Compute and storage are available on demand –without
human intervention.
• Cost of implementation
– AIS absorbs the cost of implementation by using our
resources –people, capital, and facilities –to stay ahead of
client demand.
• Hardware maintenance
– AIS has invested in the best maintenance contracts
available and also builds spare hardware into their
implementation model.

15. Moving to the Cloud – TCO Considerations
• Software licensing and maintenance
– As a VMware partner, AIS has full VMware software
support –for all features –directly from VMware. AIS has
also invested in industry-leading software features from
NetApp, such as SnapCreator.
• Redundancy
– BusinessCloud1 is built with no single point of failure.
Every piece of mission-critical hardware and cabling has
been tested for failover. All switches and routers are
configured in pairs; the storage equipment is also fully
redundant.

16. Moving to the Cloud – TCO Considerations
• Feature set
– AIS built BusinessCloud1 with all of VMware’s key
features, including the vCloud Director portal and its
associated API. In addition, AIS is licensed for NetApp’s
full feature-set, such as SnapCreator.
• Scalability
– BusinessCloud1 allows to pay for the resources you need
only when you need them. Our virtual data centers are
self-provisioning, so there is no provisioning lead-time.

17. Moving to the Cloud – TCO Considerations
• Reliability
– AIS uses the widely-accepted ITIL reference architecture
for service delivery. We strictly adhere to Change
Management procedures and notify clients of any change
that might impact their services.BusinessCloud1’s
underlying hardware and software have been configured
the standard of industry best practices; all configurations
are fully supported by our vendors.
• Performance
– AIS BusinessCloud1 uses every bit of performance-
enhancing technology available. This includes the use of
NetApp flash cache to speed up storage access and dual
10Gbps uplinks from every server into the storage
network.

18. Moving to the Cloud – TCO Considerations
• Expertise
– AIS has a staff of focused professionals who are trained
and experienced in cloud technologies. Our goal is to
increase functionality within and outside of
BusinessCloud1 while maintaining the highest standards
of performance and availability.
