Fortune 100,000 Companies See Shortcomings of Software as a Service

New Whitepaper from KACE Shows How Software as a Service is Failing Fortune 100,000 Organizations

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - August 1, 2006 - KACE™, the leader in IT management solutions for the Fortune 100,000, today announced the availability of a white paper that shows how Appliance-based Software Delivery (AbSD) is the best solution for Fortune 100,000 businesses, and that Software as a Service (SaaS) presents too many problems--reliability, performance, security, loss of control over data and high costs over time--for Fortune 100,000 companies to absorb without significant risk to their bottom line.

"Got the Enterprise Software Blues? Appliances Come to the Rescue", a white paper written by KACE founder and CTO Marty Kacin, describes how AbSD provides all the benefits of on-demand software delivery like SaaS, but with none of the drawbacks to vendors and end-user organizations. It explains how the superior affordability, performance, reliability, security and ease-of-use makes makes AbSD the clear winner in today's competitive software market.

Reducing complexity and simplifying technology is a big driver to more rapid adoption of appliances. AbSD successfully eliminates the costs and complexities of traditional software delivery and avoids the shortcomings of SaaS by providing a completely integrated hardware and software solution. AbSD offers unique, cost-and time-saving benefits, including:

  • Rapid deployment through plug-and-play installation
  • High reliability through built-in hardware redundancy and automatic failover
  • Outstanding security through a hardened system with built-in backup and recovery
  • Predictable, scalable performance in a purpose-built, pre-tuned solution
  • Easy up-keep through self-healing and automated maintenance

For end-user organizations, AbSD provides quick time-to-value through rapid deployment. With AbSD, no hardware needs to be procured and no software needs to be installed. Appliances can simply be plugged into a network and can immediately begin functioning. The end-user organization receives support from one vendor for all aspects of the solution.

For vendors, AbSD requires development, testing and maintenance of a single stack of hardware, OS and application server software, and controlling the entire stack allows appliance vendors to tune and configure the complete solution for predictable scalability and robust security.
