Cloud computing represents a shift in traditional computing. It provides businesses with on-demand access to a variety of software and services. Where businesses previously had to purchase servers with significant up-front expenditure, cloud computing offers access to a pool of configurable compute resources at the platform, infrastructure and application layers. Micron21 cloud computing helps businesses do more, faster. Take advantage of powerful data centre infrastructure and IT services without having to build, manage or maintain them. |

Host your systems on a high-performance Public Cloud that actually protects you from downtime with high-availability infrastructure.
Extend your existing infrastructure into the Cloud whilst still utilising and benefiting from your existing hardware via Hybrid Cloud.
Benefit from the scalability, flexibility, and customisability of Public Cloud, but utilising your own hardware for even greater security and efficiency.
Utilise multiple Cloud providers to increase your flexibility, reduce your costs, and mitigate the risks of relying on a single provider.
Software as a Service (SaaS)Unlike IaaS and PaaS solutions, which are intended for use by system administrators and developers respectively, SaaS solutions aim to provide software and services directly to end-users without any requirement for them to set up or manage infrastructure or software. With SaaS platforms, applications are built to solve a particular problem, and these applications are hosted on infrastructure and platforms owned and managed by the developers each application. |
 |
Platform as a Service (PaaS)PaaS solutions aim to provide an even better experience for developers; they do this by providing platforms that allow for software development without the requirement for system administration of back-end systems. This is achieved through providing a level of abstraction between that software and the systems that they run on, with the PaaS provider dealing with the administration of the underlying platform. |
 |
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)IaaS cover all IT aspects from the hardware and virtualisation layers down; this includes physical servers, networking, cooling, power, location, and virtualisation. IaaS services allow clients to create and manage their own IT environments without needing to worry about where the rubber meets the road, leaving that to be managed by their IaaS provider. |

Metal as a Service (MaaS)MaaS solutions aim to prove the hardware that virtualisation platforms rely on, but on lease models that don’t require large up-front capital expenditure. MaaS services allow clients to benefit from the financial savings of utilising your own hardware rather than utilising public cloud services, but with without the downsides of hardware ownership, such as hardware senescence. |

With each Cloud Computing deployment model and service, the responsibilities of the provider and user differ; here is a visual guide on where the lines are drawn.
The Micron21 team are experts in facilitating a smooth and swift migration from VMware’s ESXi, Hyper-V, or other virtualization platforms to mCloud.
We’re experts on everything cloud. We can offer guidance for designing, building, and maintaining all different types of compute and storage platforms.
Our mCloud platform allows for a unique approach, contributing hardware to a Public Cloud. This allows clients to benefit from the High Availability of Public Cloud, without the usually associated high costs.
