CaymanSecurity.com Introduces Secure Cloud Hosting Services

AIS Network is deploying SharePoint Server 2010 in a single private cloud for less than competitors charge for a public or hybrid cloud implementation. Enterprise-class SharePoint 2010 customers should look only to private cloud environments for the most practical, cost-effective solution, the CEO says.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) March 16, 2012

Atkinson, who is CEO of hosting pioneer AIS Network, said that his company is now deploying the SharePoint Server 2010 platform in a single private cloud for significantly less than competitors charge to implement it in a public cloud or a hybrid cloud.

Plain and simple, you want the most control over your SharePoint 2010 environment with the least hit to your organizations bottom line, and you get every bit of that and more by moving from a traditional deployment to a hosted private cloud architecture, said Atkinson.

Currently, hosting providers are steering enterprise-class SharePoint 2010 customers toward public cloud and hybrid cloud hosting models. Our cost analysis research shows that those deployment approaches are needlessly costing more than they should and the customer sacrifices control at multiple levels.

A private SharePoint cloud is simply more economical and easier to manage for a large organization with security and compliance concerns, Atkinson said. An enterprise SharePoint Server 2010 platform implemented wholly in a private cloud, including the online storage components, exceeds core compliance requirements and surpasses the benefits of a public cloud or hybrid cloud.

With SharePoint 2010 deployed entirely in a private cloud, Atkinson said the customer gets:

Public cloud services like Microsoft Office 365s SharePoint Online and deployments of SharePoint Server 2010 in a public or hybrid cloud are okay for small to mid-size businesses, but theyre very impractical when it comes to serving the best interests of a large business, said Atkinson.

The private SharePoint cloud model is an ideal outsourcing alternative. Sooner or later, global and large enterprises evaluating SharePoint 2010 deployment platforms are going to realize that an enterprise SharePoint Server 2010 platform implemented solely in a private cloud is the only way to go.

Within the last two years, AIS Network has doubled in size and opened a second office. Last month, the company reported that customer demand for cloud computing had compelled it to double the size of its public cloud.
