IA-Cloud is designed to help customers do just that.

Many customers want a one-stop shop for managing their cloud services, but these are difficult to come by. IA-Cloud is designed by technical cloud experts with over 30 years’ experience to bring together the features we know customers want into a single pane of glass.

BAU automation

Maintaining your cloud environment in the best possible condition requires continuous effort, especially if the environment is undergoing multiple expansions or changes.
Are your resources being backed up? Have they been enabled for it? What about OS patching? Malware detection and reporting?
IA-Cloud takes your BAU to the next level, by automating important everyday tasks as your resources are created or modified.

All this and so much more…

Starting from
scratch? IA-Cloud
can do that too

While IA-Cloud helps you get the best out of your existing cloud estate, it also includes services to help small-to-medium business (SMB) customers get started with the cloud.

Enhance IA-Cloud with Ultima’s Managed Cloud

Partner With Us: IA-Cloud’s Partner Centre

The IA-Cloud Platform is a valuable resource for partners like MSPs and well as for end customers. It’s ideal for MPSs who are experiencing talent shortages but who want to win and retain customers by doing more with less.

The lack of technical talent is now one of the biggest barriers to adopting new technologies and services, according to Gartner.[1]

So adopting automation and simplified services is now a game-changer for partners who want to do more for their customer base.

Expand your portfolio

That’s why our products are built not just with end customers in mind, but with partners and service providers too. IA-Cloud’s Platform for partners allows you to provide your business and your end customers with capabilities that would take months or years of time and effort to develop in house. They also give you an edge over your competitors, while allowing your staff to get more time back to add more value.

As well as the platform’s capabilities, the IA-Cloud’s Partner view enables you to view all your customers through a single pane of glass, giving you visibility of cloud management, monitoring, security, optimisation, documentation and so much more.

The ROI figures achieved by our existing partners shows just what a difference they’re seeing with LABS products.

Free eBook from the experts

The world we live in is vastly different from just a couple of years ago – no wonder it’s being called the new normal.

For customers who were already leveraging the public cloud, we saw a substantial increase in spending. Across our customer base, cloud consumption increased at an exponential rate in 2021 and 2022, and this shows no sign of changing in 2023 and beyond.

This increased usage has, in most cases, been born out of necessity due to the demands of hybrid working and the need to provide services to remote staff. The rush to get services up and running in the cloud to support the rapidly changing demands of the workforce has led to an increase in unplanned costs and a ballooning cloud spend bill.

In our eBook, compiled by our cloud experts, we look at the key Azure public cloud trends for 2023 and beyond, backed by the unprecedented events of the past 18 months and looking forward to new normal we now live in.
