For organizations hosting their Spira workloads on-premise, the prospect of cloud migration often raises critical questions about security, control, and future scalability. Inflectra, powered by AWS hosting, addresses these concerns head-on, delivering a secure, scalable, and future-proof platform for SpiraTeam, SpiraTest, or SpiraPlan. Transitioning to Inflectra’s AWS-hosted solution unlocks substantial benefits that empower your team to focus on what matters most—driving innovation and delivering value.
This article explores the top reasons why migrating your Spira workloads to AWS with Inflectra is a game-changing move for your organization.
The Cloud Advantage
The way businesses operate has been undergoing a rapid transformation, with the cloud solidly at the center of this evolution. Organizations globally are adopting cloud-first strategies to enhance agility, scalability, and cost efficiency. According to Gartner, by 2025:
- 95% of new digital workloads will be deployed on cloud-native platforms, compared to just 30% in 2021.
- 90% of new enterprise applications will embed AI, making cloud platforms smarter and more capable than ever.
Cloud environments powered by AI, edge computing, and robust security frameworks are no longer a luxury—they’re a necessity. Migrating to Inflectra’s AWS hosting positions your business to thrive in this dynamic landscape.
The Benefits of AWS Delivered by Inflectra
1. Unmatched Security and Compliance for Spira Workloads
Inflectra ensures that customers gain AWS’s advanced security capabilities, enhanced with Inflectra’s dedicated compliance frameworks tailored to Spira workloads:
- Inflectra’s SOC2/Type-2 and PCI-DSS certifications complement AWS’s compliance with standards like ISO27001, GDPR, and HIPAA, ensuring regulatory adherence.
- Inflectra’s real-time security monitoring integrates seamlessly with AWS’s tools like AWS Shield and Key Management Service (KMS) to protect sensitive project data from cyber threats.
- Inflectra and AWS partnership adds multi-level threat detection, firewalls, and other cyber defense options, delivering peace of mind for teams managing critical workloads.
This combined security framework ensures that organizations hosting Spira on AWS through Inflectra are fully protected, compliant, and secure.
2. Global Accessibility with Regional Compliance
Inflectra leverages AWS’s extensive global network to ensure fast, reliable access to Spira workloads while adhering to local regulations:
- Customers can choose Inflectra's hosting regions in the USA, EU, India, Singapore, Australia, and Canada, ensuring data residency compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and other regional standards.
- Inflectra’s disaster recovery protocols ensure backups are stored within compliance jurisdictions, protecting data from downtime while meeting strict legal requirements.
With Inflectra’s expertise, businesses can operate globally without compromising on performance or regulatory compliance.
3. Versatile Approach: Cloud-Preferred and On-Premise Ready
Inflectra recognizes that every organization has unique operational requirements, especially in highly regulated industries. Our "cloud-preferred" approach reflects the broader industry trend toward cloud migration, with 52% of IT environments already in the cloud and 63% expected to migrate by 2025 (Flexera 2023). However, Inflectra equally values the importance of offering robust on-premise solutions, ensuring all customers receive the same high-quality, feature-rich experience, regardless of deployment model.
On-premise hosting remains a powerful and viable option for organizations with stringent compliance needs or those requiring enhanced control over sensitive data. Inflectra ensures seamless, by-directional migration between cloud and on-premise environments, supporting flexibility as business and compliance needs evolve. Our focus is on empowering your organization with the tools and support needed to thrive, regardless of where your workloads reside.
