Description

Future of Digital Infrastructure: DCIaaS Lays the Foundation for On-Premises PaaS and SaaS Strategies

This IDC Perspective looks at examples where dedicated infrastructure as a service (DCIaaS) is extending the XaaS model more broadly across enterprise IT environments and provides recommendations for how to optimize its benefits in coming years. The dedicated cloud infrastructure–as-a-service market has seen increased depth and maturity at the software stack level over the past 12 months, with vendors adding support for elements beyond virtual machines, container orchestration, and other system software up into the PaaS (platform-as-a-service) layer. Third-party software marketplaces around DCIaaS offerings are also growing in scope as vendors certify their wares for the platforms. IDC expects that over time, DCIaaS ecosystems will move measurably into the PaaS and SaaS layers, essentially duplicating the growth pattern exhibited by the public cloud ecosystem over the past 15 years. This trend will play a key role in the future of digital infrastructure as customers reconsider how best to distribute cloud workloads and applications and demand more options from their core vendors."It's a natural evolution for the DCIaaS market to expand into dedicated cloud platform as a service (DCPaaS) and dedicated cloud software as a service (DCSaaS)," said Chris Kanaracus, research director, Cloud Infrastructure Services at IDC. "This will take time, but IDC is already seeing clear signals of this market direction. Customers want 'cloud' and all its benefits in every location, whether it be public cloud, the edge, or their own datacenters."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
