Cloud Computing

The use of cloud computing offers numerous advantages for the company, such as:

• Improving agility and responsiveness

With a flexible infrastructure and architecture, the company can rapidly meet specific needs in terms of performance, storing or overload. With just a few clicks on a configuration interface, the needs of the company are thus met.

• Optimizing operation costs

Cloud computing enables the pooling of resources and, therefore, the optimization of investment and resource administration costs. By extrapolating, this better use of equipment generates a decrease in power consumption; this is why cloud computing is often assimilated to Green IT.

• Deployment acceleration

With a single application instance installed for all of its clients, the company helps them benefit within a very short time from the latest updates and the most recent technologies. Thus, it becomes possible to rapidly absorb activity peaks etc.

• Turning from an investment budget to an operating budget

By renting infrastructure, the company goes from an investment budget (CAPEX) to an operating budget (OPEX) and can thus optimize its investment costs (eliminating licence costs, for instance). Nevertheless, one must remain vigilant on this point and compare costs related to long-term renting which may turn out to exceed an investment.

• A simple and high-performance answer to the stakes of globalization

Cloud computing has all the assets for meeting the stakes of globalization: eliminating distances, meeting mobility needs by remote access to resources through a simple web interface.

Elaborated to meet market needs as precisely as possible, the offer of Pentalog High Tech is based on three service levels in direct correlation with the cloud computing philosophy.

Our SaaS services

We take over the development, management and hosting of your application development project in "renting" mode by using the Microsoft .net or Java programming languages. Depending on the chosen technology, we can help you choose the best public (Azur, EC2 etc.) or private clouds. Developments can be carried out either on single-instance or multi-instance architectures. Pentalog can also transfer your ASP application onto a SaaS application.

Our PaaS services

Pentalog High Tech always promotes system interoperability by offering its customers the use of existing products as soon as this becomes possible. For example, we can connect your application to existing systems which are already in Cloud, such as customer relationship management suites (CRM applications like SalesForce or Microsoft Dynamics) or offer the use of generic portals (Sharepoint, for instance). Pentalog can also offer you advice and help you migrate your office automation applications towards a public Cloud through suites like Google Apps or create your own corporate social network.

Our IaaS services

In terms of infrastructure, Pentalog High Tech offers data storing services (optimized backup at cluster level, for instance), the use of computing power through grid computing on an evolving infrastructure and the setting up of private Clouds or assistance in deploying your processes or applications on public or hosted clouds.
