- 4. Cloud Background
Clear Advantages
Scalability: virtually limitless computing resources
Universal Access: use it anywhere with an internet connection
Reliability: near 100% uptime
Not so Clear…
Performance: cloud wins in some scenarios, not others
Security: securing your own infrastructure vs. trusting theirs
Cost: not as simple as trading servers for a subscription
Lock-In: what happens when you are ready to leave?
Updates: automatic by vendor, but is that what you want?
Customization: what if it doesn’t match your processes?
… and whose data is it?

Eliminate Lock-In
Aras has always been committed to open APIs,
transparent data models, and the ability to access your
data
Aras Spectrum is built from the same Aras Innovator
technology as the enterprise open source distribution
You can easily move your data back and forth between
the cloud and an on premise deployment of Aras
Innovator – as simple as backup and restore

Customization and Updates
Real world PLM environments need customizations and
integrations
Deploying changes still requires functional testing,
performance optimization and validation
Aras will run parallel versions of Aras Spectrum
environments. Development, test and production
instances will be available to customers.
Customers choose which version to run, when to deploy
changes and when to upgrade
As with on premise deployments, you customize it and
Aras will upgrade it – all costs are included in the
Subscription

The cloud is not a panacea
Solves some problems, introduces others
Migration of existing systems to the cloud will take years
Only addresses IT issues – does not solve PLM
Options are available to get started
Don’t throw away your existing infrastructure
Use the cloud for new implementations or to extend existing ones
Start using cloud services right away
Aras has you covered
Full cloud deployment, mixed deployments, cloud services
Let us help you get to the cloud when it makes sense for you
