Product Differentiation
Secure, Direct Cloud On-Ramps: Offers high-performance, redundant, and secure connections to major public clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP) that bypass the public internet for consistent performance.
Tailored Cloud Solutions: Provides the right cloud for the right workload—from dedicated private cloud for stringent performance/compliance needs to multitenant cloud ideal for DR failover.
Compliance-as-a-Service: Facilities and operational controls are pre-certified, significantly reducing the scope and cost of compliance audits for customers in regulated industries.
Mitigate Risk & Ensure Resiliency: Maximize uptime and minimize data loss with industry-leading DRaaS solutions and high-availability SLAs (e.g., 99.99% for STaaS).
Reduce IT Complexity & Cost: Transform CapEx (hardware) into OpEx (service fees) and offload day-to-day infrastructure management tasks (patching, monitoring, backups).
Achieve Regulatory Compliance: Leverage TierPoint's certified infrastructure and expertise to seamlessly meet stringent requirements for HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST, and more.
Optimize Cloud Spend: Utilize expert advisory services for continuous cloud cost optimization, right-sizing assistance, and leveraging cloud provider funding programs.
Technical Requirements
Connectivity: High-speed internet connectivity is required. TierPoint's network services and Cloud Connect options are available to ensure optimal performance.
Hardware/Workload: An assessment is needed to determine whether existing hardware should be co-located or if workloads should be migrated to a cloud platform.
Integration: Integration capabilities exist for common enterprise platforms, including various CRM, ERP, and productivity suites, often using APIs or dedicated network connections.
Business Requirements
Compliance Mandates: Businesses in highly regulated industries (Finance, Healthcare) needing validated infrastructure and controls are an ideal fit.
IT Resource Gap: Organizations facing challenges recruiting or retaining specialized staff (e.g., for security, IBM systems, or public cloud optimization).
Geographic Redundancy: Companies needing geographically dispersed IT assets for disaster recovery or to serve markets across the U.S.
Use Cases
Data Center Consolidation: Moving from a disparate set of internal server rooms to TierPoint's centralized, secure, and compliant colocation facilities.
Hybrid Cloud Enablement: Connecting an existing on-premises data center or colocation deployment directly to hyperscale public clouds (AWS/Azure) for a cohesive hybrid environment.
Strengthening Security & DR: Implementing 24x7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and a guaranteed Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solution to meet RTO/RPO objectives.
Implementation Timeline & Considerations
Timeline: Varies widely:
Simple Colocation: 4-8 weeks (Facility preparation and migration).
DRaaS Implementation: 6-12 weeks (Discovery, testing, and documentation).
Considerations: An initial Hybrid Cloud Consulting phase is highly recommended to assess the current environment, define the optimal future-state architecture, and map out a phased migration plan to ensure a smooth transition.
