Workload assessment
Inventory systems, dependencies and utilisation. Identify the operating-system, storage and network requirements that influence the target design.
NOVACOM / DELIVERY
Provision the compute, storage and networks your applications need.
For IT teams that need dependable infrastructure without treating every server as a separate project. Novacom designs IaaS environments around workload capacity, access, availability and recovery requirements.
WHAT WE BUILD TOGETHER
A defined foundation
Specify network segmentation, identity, compute profiles, storage, backup and monitoring. Agree who maintains each layer before provisioning begins.
A usable handover
Validate representative applications, document recovery and provide an operating responsibility matrix. Capacity and support scope follow the agreed requirements.
UNDERSTAND THE ENGAGEMENT
What it is.
How we deliver it.
What you are buying
IaaS supplies virtualised compute, storage and networking. It gives an organisation infrastructure capacity while preserving control over the application stack. The exact responsibility boundary varies: operating-system maintenance, databases and application support must be assigned explicitly.
Where it is useful
It can suit established business applications with specific server requirements, development environments or a phased migration. Before choosing a platform, compare the application dependencies and operating effort with a managed platform or a suitable software product.
What a delivery scope can include
We map workload profiles to compute and storage options, define network segmentation and access, and plan provisioning, monitoring and recovery. The design identifies persistent data, backup copies and any dependencies on external identity, licensing or network services. Capacity assumptions are based on the workload rather than a generic server package.
What to bring to discovery
- Application and operating-system requirements
- CPU, memory, storage and traffic measurements
- Data-location, access and recovery objectives
- Current licences, support coverage and budget
How we evaluate the result
Acceptance should include a representative application running correctly, restricted access tested, a failed component handled and a backup restored. The operating handover assigns responsibilities for each layer. Cost estimates include storage growth, transfer, backup and support, with assumptions made visible.
Decisions to make early
IaaS does not automatically provide a highly available application or a managed operating system. The proposal separates infrastructure capabilities from application changes and ongoing operations. Public, private and existing on-premises capacity are compared where appropriate.

Good questions.
Clear answers.
What is IaaS?+
Infrastructure as a service provides computing, storage and networking resources. Your team or an agreed operating partner still manages the application stack and the responsibilities not included in the service.
Is cloud always less expensive?+
No. We compare expected utilisation, support, availability, storage, transfer and recovery costs. Existing equipment and predictable workloads can change the comparison.
