What is Hosting?Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Cloud Softwareas a Service (SaaS) continue to be the leading topic fordiscussion among our manufacturing customer base.Businesses considering moving to the cloud are concernedabout security and accessibility.Ownership Costs:There is a lack of clarity around ownership costs. The generalconsensus seems to be that cloud is cheaper than on-premise. Thisassumes that infrastructure management is included and thateverything is taken care of for you.IaaS&SaaSIs Private Hosting (SaaS)?The answer is. Not Really. ERP Systems such as Fourth Shift andVisual can be private hosted in the Cloud. This is an IaaS model vs. aSaaS model as the infrastructure must be there in order to deliver arobust, fast, and stable experience.4
Hosting ConsiderationsSecuritySecurity is paramount. ERP in the cloud should be encrypted in alldirections, have routine audits of security, and pass all NISTcompliance regulations for your industry.Backup & Disaster RecoveryEnterprises should prioritize backing up their Data and developing aDisaster Recovery plan.Administration & SupportCloud infrastructure must be monitored, maintained, and managed.Cloud hosting providers often offer tools, and some offer specialistservices to help manage the cloud-hosted environment.PerformanceLatency can sometimes be an issue. Organizations should ensurethey have up to date next gen firewalls and redundant, reliable, andstable internet connectivity. Internal LAN switching and routingimpacts performance for all applications.Cloud Hosted or not.5
Hosting vs On-PremiseOpEx vs CapExWith CapEx: Hardware has a limited life-span and, fromtime-to-time must be replaced with newermachines that are covered under warranty.The costs and capability of machineschange with time – the best you can do isbudget for change and hope surprises aren’ttoo expensive. Software needs to be licensed as upgradesare released and old versions are no longersupported. Again, this can be budgeted forwith the plan being to stay within it.With OpEx: Costs are known up front and most surprisesassociated with the ERP back-end andassociated applications are removed Once the implementation and migration arecomplete the only fees are an ongoingmonthly subscriptionOn-PremiseYou are in the DatacenterBusiness.
