Think as a Service
Think as a Service provides customers with the option to consume IT infrastructure as a monthly cost (OP-EX) instead of large upfront costs (CAP-EX), freeing up cash flow and allowing your organisation to invest in core operations. The two options available are ‘Think Infrastructure as a Service’ (Think IaaS) and ‘Think Disaster Recovery as a Service’ (Think DRaaS).
Think Infrastructure as a Service (Think IaaS)
Think IaaS is a cloud hosted infrastructure solution that delivers all required components to allow you to run your business over either private or public (internet) connectivity on a monthly basis. This approach enables businesses to subscribe to a fully managed and highly available server and networking environment, instead of purchasing and managing their own physical infrastructure. Key components include:
Storage
Compute
Backup
Networking
DR
Security

Key Benefits of Think Disaster Recovery as a Service (Think DRaas)
Cost Efficiency and Simplification
This single service eliminates multiple cost points which include rent, power, infrastructure, IT staffing, licensing and maintaining a secondary physical site.
Scalable Protection Solution
DRaaS allows entities of all sizes to be effectively protected from the adverse effects of IT downtime, due to our economies of scale.
Increased Resource Efficiency
Customer-owned/ operated DR data centers can be costly due to paying for what you may use upfront. Through DRaas you pay for and consume only what is necessary.
