For all of its benefits, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is still not a turnkey solution–and it shouldn’t be. Service providers offer multiple flavors of IaaS to match your needs, from bare-bones self-service products to premium offerings bundled with strategy, consulting, and management services.
Selecting the right blend of services at the most competitive price point requires a granular examination of your business and technical goals, your internal expertise, and your provider’s ability to align with your processes and tools. For a discussion of these and other related issues, join GigaOM Research and our sponsor, HOSTING, for “Choosing service and management levels in the cloud,” a free analyst webinar on Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 10 a.m. PT.
