Parity can help you decide which Business Intelligence deployment platform is best for you
On Premise
We can work with you to deploy within your existing infrastructure, in line with any strategies you have for these technologies and to make use of existing hardware, or create a new dedicated environment. We support the use of virtualisation technology as appropriate.
Cloud
In conjunction with a hosting partner we are able to offer a scalable Business Intelligence platform in the cloud. Based on a virtualised platform we can rapidly deploy applications into the Cloud or access additional compute, storage and networking capacity to meet peak demands. Many organisations are already attracted by the benefits of Cloud computing:
Quick Deployment - there is no infrastructure to deploy, your business can take immediate advantage of one that already exists;
Affordability - there is no large capital outlay as costs are on the basis of pay as you go;
Extensibility - you benefit from new components and generations of technology as they become available;
Cost Effective - the need for you to build expensive over-capacity into your own physical infrastructur for peak demands is much reduced;
Scalability - can scale up or down quickly to meet changing requirements and you only pay for what you use.
Removing Common Concerns over Cloud
What can put organisations off is data security. With some cloud providers the customer doesn't know where their data is being held. It may not even be in the UK, leading to concerns over data sovereignty and security. Parity's cloud solution is designed to deal effectively with these issues:
Customer data is held in one of a number of identified UK data centres;
Each customer's data is isolated and managed as a separate data store;
A strict security model prevents access not authorised by the customer.
