SaaS: Seizing Opportunities, Meeting Challenges, Mitigating Risks.
Businesses and consumers alike are shifting from purchasing traditional on-premise software to subscribing to software functionality on a pay-as-you-go basis. This Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model is causing a seismic shift in the software industry. But in addition to the tremendous opportunities this creates, SaaS companies face significant challenges.
For starters, the capital cost of building SaaS-capable infrastructure is prohibitive. Then, because outages can be devastating to a SaaS vendor’s reputation, that infrastructure must be utterly reliable and available, and scale rapidly to meet demand. Finally, many SaaS providers lack the staff resources and experience required to move to a services model.
Savvis can help on all these fronts.

Quickly and Easily Transform Your Software to SaaS.
The pressure to offer SaaS versions of your software is forcing you to move quickly to migrate your on-premise products. This migration can be an arduous, time-consuming and costly task. No longer. An alliance between Savvis and Parrallels enables software vendors to rapidly convert their single-tenancy applications to operate in a SaaS environment without having to re-architect your software.
Parrallels Virtuozzo Containers is a leading computing optimization solution. By combining Savvis' global hosting and network infrastructure with Parrallels Virtuoozzo Containers virtualization and Parrallels Automation solutions, software that was not originally intended to be offered in the SaaS model is made "hostable" quickly and simply without any reprogramming or architectural changes.
