Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) Overview
Our Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform allows you to automatically provision servers, storage and network elements with flexible billing options. Our IaaS services provide you with scalable “building blocks” that allow you to shape your infrastructure to fit the changing needs of your business and to respond quickly as your business environment changes.KVH’s proprietary operation support system (OSS) is secure and fully-automated and allows us to reduce provisioning time from weeks and days to just hours.
KVH owns all the elements behind the offering – the data centers, the managed services platform, the dedicated servers and VPS, the building access fiber and the telecommunications backbone linking into our national and regional network. This allows us to closely control our service levels and to integrate all these elements into a unified offering. These elements, together with KVH’s Professional Services, form the core of our Information Delivery Platform.
