Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Cloud Computing
What does Platform as a Service (PaaS) cloud computing offer? How about the ability to develop and deploy applications without the need to setup and manage an application infrastructure?
As a PaaS cloud computing provider, DataPoint offers the hardware, software, operating system, and security necessary for the day-to-day hosting of your applications. Intended as a development platform solution, PaaS allows you to:
- Develop applications without investing in a virtualized infrastructure
- Test applications to gauge interest without allocating money and resources to the infrastructure.
- Build departmental level applications, which were traditionally run from an unmanaged server.
What DataPoint’s PaaS Cloud Computing Services Offer
At DataPoint, our Platform as a Service (PaaS) includes the same foundation services as our IaaS, while further including the management of the operation system along with higher level services. Our PaaS solutions include:
- All components needed for developing and publishing applications internally or through the internet.
- Fully managed operating system, including patching, monitoring, licensing, security, connectivity and more.
- Virtual management of client systems, meaning your only responsibility is the management of your applications.
- Customized backup, archiving, and retention solutions, specifically matching your organization’s policies and procedures
With eight data centers strategically located across the county, DataPoint’s IaaS cloud computing services allow you to quickly develop and deploy applications while decreasing upfront costs and increasing security.

Our PaaS Cloud Computing solutions aren’t the only way that your business can cut costs and gain redundancy. We also offer two other “As a Service” models that provide your company the services you need.

Leveraging the expertise we have developed from working with thousands of customer environments, DataPoint delivers all support and maintenance of specific applications.

However, if you need more robust customizable solutions, we can provide fully managed dedicated solutions are available.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Avoid the upkeep and capital costs of enterprise class datacenters by leasing the underlying power, space, cooling, connectivity and data center services. With 8 datacenters in 6 cities (and growing), DataPoint can leverage a multitude of infrastructure services for your development, production, or disaster/recovery environments. DataPoint will maintain and monitor all of the foundational components necessary to provide “best-in-class” private cloud environments. Our flexible solutions means that customers who have invested heavily into their own infrastructure can still take advantage of our infrastructure services.
