Modern Colocation and Managed Infrastructure: Simplifying IT with XaaS
In brief
This webinar explores how Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) can help organizations reduce infrastructure costs, simplify VMware management, and build stronger data protection and disaster recovery strategies. CPP Associates and 11:11 Systems discuss cloud infrastructure options, hosted private cloud, backup, DRaaS, security, compliance, and practical considerations for moving workloads to the cloud.
Webinar Overview
As infrastructure costs rise and VMware licensing changes put additional pressure on IT budgets, organizations are reevaluating where and how they run critical workloads.
In this webinar, experts from CPP Associates and 11:11 Systems explore Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) as an alternative to purchasing, maintaining, and refreshing on-premises infrastructure. The discussion covers how 11:11’s VMware-backed cloud environment enables organizations to move existing workloads into a familiar infrastructure model while shifting hardware, platform management, and related costs to a cloud provider.
The session also examines the broader cloud services surrounding IaaS, including hosted private cloud, cloud backup, disaster recovery, business continuity, security, compliance, networking, and workload migration. The speakers explain how integrated backup and replication technologies can help organizations protect workloads and establish more resilient recovery strategies.
The webinar concludes with a look at workload sizing and planning, including how organizations can evaluate their existing environments and determine appropriate resources for IaaS, Backup as a Service, and Disaster Recovery as a Service.
Key Takeaways
- IaaS can change the infrastructure cost model. CPP discusses how moving from owned infrastructure to Infrastructure as a Service can reduce capital expenditures and create a more predictable monthly operating expense model.
- Existing VMware workloads can move to a familiar environment. 11:11’s cloud infrastructure is VMware-backed, allowing organizations to migrate workloads without necessarily redesigning their entire application environment.
- Cloud infrastructure extends beyond compute and storage. The session covers networking, security, connectivity, licensing, compliance, backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity as parts of the overall infrastructure strategy.
- Hosted private cloud supports specialized requirements. 11:11 Flex Cloud provides dedicated compute resources for use cases such as VDI, highly regulated workloads, AI, and high-performance computing.
- Backup and disaster recovery can be integrated with cloud infrastructure. The speakers discuss immutable backups, cloud-to-cloud replication, Cyber Vault options, and Zerto-based disaster recovery.
- Recovery planning should account for different failure scenarios. Organizations can establish recovery strategies ranging from granular file and VM restoration to broader disaster recovery and business continuity plans.
- Sizing is an important part of cloud migration planning. 11:11’s Catalyst assessment process evaluates existing workloads and resource requirements to help scope IaaS, backup, and disaster recovery environments.
