In a serverless office, essential data and applications are accessed over the
internet on a server located in a secure data center. Most large
enterprises have data centers that support serverless offices across cities,
states, even oceans.
The convergence of some critical factors means that the serverless office
model now makes sense for smaller business too.
- Internet bandwidth is now affordable, fast, and widely available
- Viruses, hacking, phishing, spoofing, SPAM, spyware, etc. are
contributing to a growing network security problem
- Small companies have highly mobile workforces that need to stay
connected from home and on the road to be competitive
- Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and Gramm-Leach-Bliley require even the smallest
businesses in certain industries to meet privacy and information security
standards
- Microsoft and other large software vendors are embracing the "software
as a service" model and offering monthly service provider licensing
How does a serverless office work? Instead of investing heavily
on server hardware, software and IT personnel, businesses contract with a
service provider to host their applications and data on a monthly basis.
This is sometimes referred to as an ASP (Application Service Provider)
model, and has many advantages.
- No large upfront cost, predictable ongoing costs, lower total cost,
no need to purchase excess capacity, highly cost efficient due to core
competency and economy of scale
- Ideal server environment, daily monitoring, 24/7 support, redundant
power, adequate cooling, security measures, solution specific technical
expertise
- Use latest software versions, support for add-ons and customization,
rapid implementation of new technologies and security patches
- Capacity on demand - add seats, storage space, and features as you
need them, remove them when you don't
