Cloud Services offer significant benefits over traditional Hosting solutions. Cloud computing has three layers:

• Applications – the application layer (top) refers to the software applications that are used by organisations.
• Platform – the platform layer (middle) refers to products that are used to deploy operating systems.
• Infrastructure – the infrastructure layer (bottom) is the foundation of Cloud Computing. This layer is where computer infrastructure or hardware, physical storage space, and processing capabilities sit..

Benefits of Infrastructure and Software as a Service

• Funded from Operational Expenditure and does not sit on your Balance sheet

• Deployed on a Just-in-Time basis rather than Just-in-Case
