Compute as a Service (CaaS)

Compute as a Service

CaaS lets enterprises simplify and scale compute operations to eliminate overprovisioning and add flexibility for new or unexpected demands.

The term compute refers to the hosting model for the computing resources that your application runs on. Whether you are building new applications or deploying existing ones, compute provides the infrastructure you need to run your apps.

Compute services can be divided broadly into three categories: Infrastructure as a service, Platform as a service and Server-less service or Functions as a Service.

Businesses that require compute services to run their applications can utilize this solution. Mobile applications developers, website developers and a host of other types of application workloads can be run using this solution.

Why Use CaaS?

Pay for what you use

Digicel’s BC portfolio is based on a pay for what you use pricing scheme. This enables you to access resources when you need them. 

Deploy Apps Fast

Companies can quickly deploy apps in the cloud, whether they operate privately, or use public cloud services.

Scale Solutions

Ability to easily scale solutions based on customer needs 
and this can be done manually or automatically in line with the demands of the organization. 

Automatic Updates

Updates are carried out automatically and in real-time so that your infrastructure and apps are always ready. 

Consistent Platform

Azure facilitates easy mobility and a reliable, consistent platform between on-premise and public Cloud

Features

Complete Solution

If your application consists of multiple workloads, a complete solution can flexibly incorporate two or more compute services. 

Virtual Machines

Virtual Machines allow deployment of scalable and protected virtualized infrastructure. 

Create Powerful Apps

Quickly create powerful cloud apps for web and mobile.

Server-less Computing

Trigger apps or run a function automatically when an event like opening a document happens with server-less computing.

Virtual Machines

A virtual machine is an on-demand, scalable computer resource.

It gives you the flexibility of virtualization without having to buy and maintain the physical hardware like a server, that runs it.

Virtual machines are generally used to host applications when you require more control over the computing environment than what is offered by other compute resources.

Businesses that require compute, memory or storage services can benefit from using VMs. If there are business applications that have varying demand that need to be hosted, or the need for an area to develop and test applications, VMs are a good choice.

Why Use Virtual Machines?

Only Pay for What You Use

Multiple Backups

The multiple backup applications are all managed centrally in your account portal.

Reduce Backup Risk

This significantly reduces the risks and complexity associated with traditional backup methods. 

Redundancy Options

Various forms of redundancy such as multiple copies kept in the same datacentre (local redundancy) or across multiple datacentres (geo-redundancy).

DRaaS

You can enable Site Recovery capability to keep your business functional during an IT outage or to move your workloads into another data-centre, region or resource group.

This solution encompasses replication, failover, and recovery processes to help keep your applications running during planned and unplanned outages.

Features

Real-time Replication

Near real-time copying (replication) of servers into the a Public Cloud with one-click switching to or from your backup (failover and failback) via your account management portal.

Minimise Downtime

Allows near-zero recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO), minimizing downtime.

Save Costs

Replica servers kept in a reduced resource state, and scaled automatically when they become active, saving costs.

SaaS

This solution allows users to connect to and use cloud-based apps over the Internet such as email, and office tools (such as Microsoft Office 365).
