Cloud Services: Expand on Demand
It's hard to respond quickly to business needs when they keep changing. Whether caused by predictable, seasonal spikes or unexpected surges of activity, business is dynamic – so your infrastructure must be, too.
But how do you deal with fluctuating demands quickly and cost effectively when you have to fund and build out your own extra capacity?
Don't build out, order in with cloud services from AT&T.
What are cloud services?
The AT&T Cloud is Different
Multiply the
power of your assets: Move applications, data and workloads into the cloud.
With cloud services, you buy access to cloud computing and cloud storage resources on demand over the network. You procure IT services, not assets, and AT&T delivers services when and where you need them. You pay only for what you use.
If you need a flexible, cost-effective alternative for delivering IT services – in a way that complements existing systems, staffs and processes – cloud services can be an ideal solution.
Cloud services align consumption with cost
Cloud services move capital equipment assets off the balance sheet, turning them into a monthly expense item. Unlike a capital cost, it’s not a perpetual commitment – you can turn the service off or on as needed.
Cloud services relieve the stress of paying for assets while betting on business growth to offset costs. They take the guesswork out of capacity planning to avoid expensive over provisioning and risky under provisioning. With pay-as-you-go AT&T cloud services, IT expenses align with business activity.
Enterprise cloud: Deploy quickly, scale dynamically
Procurement and deployment takes time and ties up internal staffs. With self-service provisioning, you sign up online and tap into virtual AT&T infrastructures within minutes.
You provision once and dynamically scale up or down. You can launch new services, applications and projects rapidly and expand access, capacity and performance on demand, while you view and monitor consumption via a web-based portal.

Flex your options with enterprise cloud services
Now you can choose the cloud solution model that best matches the need at hand. Use your own in-house systems, our hosting services or our cloud services: cloud computing and cloud storage. You can also create a virtual private cloud to add another layer of security for data in transit – using existing VPN, toolsets and staff to access trusted, virtual resources in the AT&T cloud.
Software vendors launching cloud-based software-as-a-service solutions can use our AT&T SaaS enablement offering to help speed time to market.
AT&T network powers the enterprise cloud
Cloud services are network based, so it makes sense to choose a provider who owns one of the world’s most robust networks: AT&T. With up to 99.99 percent availability and the enterprise-class security of AT&T Internet Data Centers, we can provide the performance and bandwidth needed for your most demanding cloud solutions.
