What: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is the fastest-growing segment of the $109 billion public cloud services market, according to Gartner. So, naturally, more and more companies will soon be migrating their services to take advantage of the public cloud's flexibility, accessibility and scalability. But, in choosing an IaaS provider, it's crucial to understand what platform is best for each unique business case, as not all clouds are created equal.

With this in mind, CloudSigma released a whitepaper today, CloudSigma And Its Flexible, Elastic and Transparent Cloud IaaS, comparing several of today's top public cloud IaaS providers with regards to their flexibility, customizability and transparency to help companies make the right public cloud choice for their business.

Why: Flexibility has been cited as the most important aspect of the public cloud by 57 percent of industry experts, according to a recent North Bridge Venture Partners survey. And, CloudSigma's uniquely customer-centric, public cloud IaaS platform is among the most flexible on the market today. Customers can easily provision resources as needed without the McDonald's-esque small, medium and large approach of other providers, like Amazon.

Most cloud providers don't allow users to configure the exact amount of RAM, CPU and storage they need, or deploy whatever software, applications or operating systems they like. So, it's important for companies to recognize the most customizable public clouds available to suit their individual needs, without breaking the bank.

By selecting a pay-as-you-go system, based on resource utilization instead of time or package bundle, customers can easily and cost-effectively scale their compute resources in a public cloud without risks of over- or under-provisioning. What's more, by making it all transparent through a simple interface, customers can rest assured that their deployments, resource utilization and billing are in line with their business objectives and budgets.

Who: Written by David Strom, a leading expert on networking and Internet communications, this white paper will benefit organizations looking to obtain a thorough understanding of various IaaS solutions, including the customer-centric mindset behind one of the most innovative providers on the market.

When: CloudSigma executives are available immediately to discuss what sets its IaaS solution apart from other providers, allowing for a smoother, more cost-effective transition to the cloud.
