Cloud Ecosystem The convergence of Internet technologies, virtualization and large scale data centers has created a powerful new way to deliver Information Technology services, with many companies already putting clouds to work. Cloud computing represents an entirely new value to organizations of all sizes. It lets businesses access highly scalable and flexible services over the Internet via a usage-based pricing model. It also reduces or eliminates the need to install and run infrastructure or applications in your own data center. This alleviates the burden of acquisition, maintenance, ownership, and support. Cloud computing is simply a platform where companies use the Internet to access endless hardware, software, and data resources for most of their computing needs. It gives businesses of all sizes the opportunity to grow, compete, and succeed without investing heavily in infrastructure, and is characterized by new, internet-driven economics. Why should businesses deploy the cloud? In today’s economic climate, businesses are increasingly looking to leverage technology to align with business operations, improve IT processes and increase profits. Cloud computing can significantly reduce IT costs and complexities while improving workload optimization and service delivery. The main driver behind cloud computing is basic economics. It significantly lowers up-front capital expenses and allows companies to only pay for what they actually use. Also, the cloud model dramatically lowers operating expenses over time by increasing standardization, automation and delivering applications and services more efficiently. Our capabilities At Lancord, we help IT organizations like yours take full advantage of cloud computing and selecting the right platform for your business services. We’ll help you assess your own in-house data center and platforms from traditional outsourced service providers or cloud service providers. We stress the importance of evaluating your business objectives and your IT infrastructure to find the right cloud technology and compatible cloud partner to meet your specific needs. Our goal is to work collaboratively with clients to understand their compute, storage, access and retention requirements and execute the right strategy to meet these needs while extending the life of existing IT, storage and networking assets. Whether you’re just getting started with your cloud strategy or looking for smart ways to expand current initiatives, we can help in your efforts. Lancord Cloud Ecosystem Offerings Cloud Assessment Services Cloud computing is a paradigm shift in how organizations think about applications and IT services. Lancord applies its cloud computing experience and delivers full-lifecycle services including Strategy, Architecture, Integration, Development, and Education based on best practices that maximize the benefits of cloud computing while avoiding risks.

For qualifying companies, we offer a complimentary 1 day cloud assessment service that will examine all aspects of cloud readiness and provides answers to develop the proper on-boarding roadmap. Cloud Strategy and Planning Migrating to a secure virtual IT environment takes time, careful preparation, and strong leadership. We serve as trusted advisors in areas encompassing application management, transition planning, cloud policy consulting, data strategies, security, and other related service areas such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) for compute cycle and storage capacity, Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). To ensure a fundamentally sound roadmap to cloud adoption, we work closely with our clients to leverage and identify all available technologies in the Public Cloud, Private Cloud or a Hybrid model that blends existing on-premises and cloud computing. Cloud Application Development Today, owning and managing an entire infrastructure and middleware stack to build a custom application is both an expensive proposition and a difficult environment to support. With the advent of cloud platforms and standard APIs including Open Source, organizations can significantly reduce time-to-market, while building vastly more scalable, flexible and modern applications. This is all possible because cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google App Engine, and others, enable developers to focus on the business issues by abstracting away many aspects of middleware and infrastructure management and scaling. When you are ready to move your applications into the cloud, we are there to help with full-lifecycle services.
