Service Provider Infrastructure as a Service

Deliver Tangible Revenue-Generating Services

Now you can deliver new services through the Cisco Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering.

Cisco's approach to IaaS builds upon the Cisco Unified Service Delivery solution. Cisco provides the products, solutions, and services you need to build highly secure IaaS solutions and services for your customers.

Enhance Cost-Efficiency and Productivity

IaaS encompasses services that you can offer over the network to customers on a "pay-as-you-go" basis. These services may include compute, network, and storage components.

Customers benefit by subscribing to cost-efficient resources on a service provider scale and obtaining increased agility and productivity.

You can also take advantage of many IaaS benefits, including:

• Consolidation through virtualization
• Infrastructure amortization
• Economic efficiencies
• Opening of new markets
• Differentiation from over-the-top providers

Gain Revenue with Infrastructure as a Service

Deliver new services through the Cisco Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering.

Cisco's approach to IaaS builds upon the Cisco Unified Service Delivery solution. With the preengineered, preconfigured, and pretested framework for Compute as a Service, you can build highly secure IaaS solutions for customers.

Take Advantage of Your Position

IaaS encompasses services that you can offer over the network to customers on a "pay-as-you-go" basis. These services may include compute, network, and storage components.

As a service provider, you are in a unique position to offer IaaS. You can:

• Deliver on-demand resources from a multi-tenant infrastructure on a service provider scale
• Fully use core capabilities from both your data center and your network

Promote Cost-Efficiency and Productivity

IaaS promotes cost-efficiency and increased agility and productivity for your customers. It also offers you many advantages, including:

• Consolidation and virtualization; reducing capital expenditures
• Amortization of infrastructure across multiple customers; which translates into potentially higher margins
• Realization of economic efficiencies; allowing more compelling services
• Provisioning of services relevant to enterprises, small businesses, and consumers; potentially opening new markets and expanding the customer base
• Differentiation by using the network advantage over over-the-top providers
