In the new world of cloud, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is becoming the predominant delivery method for new software applications across a number of industry verticals and a wide range of industry applications. Gartner has recently said that Saas will become the dominant model for consuming software functionality, and 85% of all organisations will be using some kind of SaaS application by next year.
The reasons for this are clear:
With the most prominent workloads moving to SaaS being messaging and collaboration, which includes Exchange, Sharepoint and Onedrive, it is not surprising that Office 365 is the most commonly deployed application among our customers, and adoption is growing faster than any other SaaS application; with now over 100 million users today around the world.
The reasons for this are clear:
- Lower costs
- Ease of administration and deployment
- Automatic scaling of resources (up and down)
- Access and resiliency

Don't Assume Your Data Is Safe
Did you know that most SaaS providers don't provide tools to backup and restore your data in the cloud?
Whilst Office 365 does offer some protection, like deleted item retention, this doesn't prevent users from permanently deleting mail items. So whilst a benefit to users, companies can't rely on this for data protection; basic backup and restore functionality like backing up and restoring entire mailboxes or a Sharepoint site is not even supported with Office 365.
Customers may have the impression that Microsoft takes care of it all, but like most cloud service providers, they protect the datacenter infrastructure only, and this doesn't meet many customer's data protection needs, and this is why Simplify IT Solutions Limited recommend a third party tool, like NetApp Cloud Control.
