Cloud Benefits
Nexaweb’s success transforming more than 450 legacy applications into cloud-based solutions for 200 customers worldwide has shown most companies are moving to the cloud for 3 primary reasons:
To improve data center economics - Getting greater return on already-installed computing resources (via virtualized private clouds) by eliminating idle CPU time
To deploy applications faster – Provisioning private or public cloud resources eliminates the weeks or months it often takes to select, purchase, install and configure new data center resources.
To support “Green IT” initiatives – Private and public clouds slow or stop the consumption of electricity to power and cool servers in the data center.
Most of the customers Nexaweb is working with today are using private clouds and virtualization as part of their legacy application modernization efforts.
Private clouds allow them to leverage existing, in-house computing resources to run new or modernized applications without the cost and delay of buying and installing new hardware. Private clouds are a practical starting point for cloud adoption; companies want to ensure they’re maximizing the use of data center resources they already have installed before paying to provision additional computing resources in public clouds.
