Your Hardware, Our Hardware, or No Hardware at All
Every option lives in the same secure Maryland datacenter and is managed by the same local team. The difference is how much infrastructure you want to own.
Co-Location
Your servers, in our racks. We provide the space, power, cooling, connectivity, and physical security; you keep full control of the hardware.
Managed Hosting
Your applications on CMA-owned equipment. We design, build, migrate, and operate the servers, storage, and network behind them.
Infrastructure as a Service
Virtual servers, storage, and networking provisioned on demand from CMA’s cloud platform — pay for what you use and scale in hours, not weeks.
IaaS: Flexible, Scalable, and Fully Managed
CMA’s IaaS gives you managed virtual infrastructure in our Tier IV datacenter — servers, storage, firewalls, and networking provisioned on demand, without buying, racking, or maintaining hardware.
The Challenge: Heavy Capital Spending
Servers, storage, and licensing bought every few years tie up capital and are outdated before they’re paid off.
CMA’s answer: a predictable monthly operating cost for exactly the capacity you use.
The Challenge: Rigid Capacity
Physical infrastructure can’t grow for a busy season or shrink after a project ends.
CMA’s answer: add CPU, memory, storage, or whole servers in hours, and release them just as fast.
The Challenge: Mergers & Office Moves
Combining or relocating offices means duplicate systems and risky migrations.
CMA’s answer: consolidate workloads onto one managed platform that never has to move again.
The Challenge: Compliance & Security Risk
HIPAA, CMMC, and PCI requirements are hard to meet in a server closet.
CMA’s answer: a certified Tier IV facility, segmented networks, encrypted storage, and CMA’s 24/7 security monitoring.
Where IaaS Fits Best
IaaS works for any workload that needs to be reliable, secure, and easy to scale — without a hardware refresh every few years.
Mission-critical business applications
Line-of-business systems that can’t afford downtime.
Sensitive and regulated data
Healthcare, financial, and government-contractor workloads.
Database and SQL workloads
Performance-sensitive systems on enterprise storage.
Development and test environments
Spin up, test, and tear down without buying servers.
Hosted desktops and file servers
The infrastructure behind CMA’s Hosted Desktop service.
Disaster recovery targets
Replicate on-premise systems to CMA and fail over when needed.

Hosting and IaaS, Answered
What is the difference between managed hosting and IaaS?
Managed hosting runs your applications on dedicated CMA-owned servers that we operate for you. IaaS delivers the same managed infrastructure as virtual servers, storage, and networking provisioned on demand, so you pay for the resources you use and can scale up or down quickly. Many clients use both.
Where is my data physically located?
In CMA’s secure Tier IV datacenter in Maryland — a TIA-942 Tier IV, SAS 70 Type II certified facility originally built for mission-critical U.S. Government functions, with 24×7 security staffing, biometric mantraps, and seven-day generator operation.
Can we keep some systems on-premise?
Yes. Hybrid environments are common. CMA connects your office network securely to your hosted or IaaS environment, so on-premise systems and hosted systems work together.
Does IaaS help with compliance?
It removes many of the hardest controls from your plate: physical security, environmental controls, patching, backup, and monitoring are handled in a certified facility. CMA’s compliance team maps the platform to your HIPAA, CMMC, or PCI DSS requirements.
How is IaaS priced?
As a monthly operating cost based on the compute, storage, and network resources you use, with management, monitoring, and support included. We size it with you during the assessment and adjust as your needs change.
