Pacific Controls cloud computing helps corporate, enterprises, private, public and government sectors transform their thoughts into reality and connect millions of devices, assets, IT services, software services, platform services and to say in single one word “Everything as a Service” through its universal cloud computing platform. With Pacific Controls Cloud computing services and capabilities, you can transform your business and reach virtually anywhere consolidating all the assets in the world virtually in a matter of minutes, need not to be IT enabled as rest of the cloud providers are offering.

Pacific Controls XaaS is a collective term said to stand for a number of things including "X as a service," "anything as a service" or "everything as a service." The acronym refers to an increasing number of services that are delivered over the Internet rather than provided locally or on-site.

Pacific Controls XaaS is the essence of cloud computing. The service examples of XaaS are Software as a Service (SaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS). The combined use of these three is sometimes referred to as the SPI model (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS).

Pacific Controls has packaged the service spectrum and delivers IaaS, PaaS and SaaS over its hybrid cloud. Pacific Controls rolled out SaaS service in the year 2005 where Pacific Controls delivered real time monitoring and management services by connecting their assets and infrastructure on a single platform. Pacific Controls is monitoring and managed thousand of assets live over internet and connected to our Cloud enabled Data Centers in the Middle East and rest of the world.

Pacific Controls Cloud services which have all the services consolidated in a single platform transforming the world as a XaaS (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) as the major stream of services and other services in the realm of continuous monitoring and management of energy services bundled with dynamic end to end platform called as “Galaxy” supported by intelligent and virtual software agents called as “Gbots”.

The Evolution of Cloud

IaaS is virtualization offered as a service. Instead of spending on hardware, software licenses, storage, or network equipment a user can buy all these as a service over Pacific Controls cloud.

PaaS aims to abstract things more than IaaS. Instead of providing bare “logical” metal as a service, it delivers an application platform which one can use to implement apps. User don’t work anymore (at least not directly) with the typical concepts like server, OS, and so on. Some kind of abstraction is usually available which hides all these. On top of it, several services are provided in order to shield you from “classical” infrastructure management. We are thinking here about virtual machine provisioning, load balancing, guest OS patching, and the like. In a sense, PaaS services from Pacific Controls offers an OS for the data center where:

• Instead of the classical resources (CPU,memory, I/O) users are abstracting servers
• Instead of the classical OS abstraction layers you have an agent infrastructure that is capable of abstracting the concept of a virtual server into a higher level element (like role for example)
• Instead of the classical OS API you have a set of complex services that you can use as building blocks for your apps

Finally, Pacific Controls SaaS is at the highest level available where users get the direct services of an application online, without any kind of implementation effort. Opposed to IaaS, there’s no need to manage infrastructure. Opposed to PaaS, there’s no need to develop and/or manage applications. It’s simply there so you can use it.

The second dimension of cloud computing refers to the place where XaaS’s are deployed. Public and private are the most common places Pacific Controls are talking about today. What’s interesting is what you get when you put these dimensions in perspective:

While the ‘as a Service’ models are distinct and separate within the public cloud environments, the enterprise level (private and commercial) cloud is an implementation of nested capabilities from using IaaS as the foundation. PaaS is built upon IaaS taking advantage of consistent implementations and architectural models. Likewise, SaaS is built upon PaaS for much of the same reasons. There are exceptions, but those remain outside the scope in this discussion.

XaaS executed through a Cloud environment is simply more cost-effective than executing IT initiatives internally.

Traditional technology deployments happen with a high ramp-up cost and a long implementation curve before a company gains capabilities from the technology to offset costs. With XaaS, the formula is pay-as-you-go with ease and peace. The financial benefits of the pay-as-you-go models are a core argument for utility computing. The initial starts up costs for XaaS models are friendlier to the customer (service consumer) than the traditional, up-front loaded stovepipe implementations.

There are three key considerations to be evaluated when looking at implementations:

Consideration #1: Initial Cost Barriers and Planning

The cost model of a traditional implementation involves an initial capital expenditure with extended ROI implications.

Consideration #2: The Illusion of Infinite Capabilities

Cloud challenges and changes the cost model from the consumer standpoint to one that is well-aligned with the preferred rapid ROI models that businesses desire. While there may be an initial period where cost exceeds benefit / revenue, the gap between the two is much less than that of a dedicated capital expenditure model.

Consideration #3: Easy Exit Strategy

The final element to consider in dedicated solution sets versus cloud environments is that of commitment. Dedicated environments tend to remain and extend often from the tie to the investment. On the other hand, cloud workloads can quickly be retired from use without the loss of physical infrastructure capital investment.

GALAXY™ GBOTS

Gbots are a family of system management and customer support software tools -- autonomous software agents which will observe and act upon device, equipment and sys¬tems behavior. Gbots are “self-learning” software agents that are installed in devices and equipment and implemented as a managed service. These agents or “bots” are able to sense conditions and ultimately identify issues within a system to repair or initiate actions to optimize its performance without human intervention, or with more focused, knowledge-based intervention informed by initial Gbot assessment of anomalies. We envision Gbots as a paradigm improvement to continuous commissioning.

Pacific Controls Gbots are the active intelligent self decision oriented agents which monitors each and every asset in our Tier-3 Cloud enabled Data Center and send immediate alarm notification of hardware and software failure to our customer’s real-time and tightly integrated with our ticketing system wherein it sends automated reports self complied to our customer’s on periodic basis. This makes cloud enabled services intelligent and self healing and provide proactive approach towards troubleshooting and maintenance.

Gbots are the new paradigm for the virtualization of managed services. The intelligent, autonomous, self-learning software agents will be deployed across networks for diverse automated services. The service will eventually connect utilities like electricity, water, air conditioning and lifts, and at a later stage perhaps even TVs and phones to facilitate a fully automated building. Gbots or small patches of artificial intelligence (AI) can actually self-learn, auto-diagnose and resolve problems, eliminating human intervention. Gbots will run on Pacific Controls’ Galaxy, an end-to-end platform and managed service that proactively monitors assets, providing transparency into how the facility performs, where critical faults lie and where opportunities exist to significantly lower operating costs.

This ground breaking remote infrastructure and energy management technology can save as much as 50 per cent in energy costs.”
