Cloud Computing
A Computer center implemented in the cloud allows for great flexibility: you pay for the resources actually used and may stop using services without any period of notice or charge.
A cloud data center is a large data center able to support many customers simultaneously. Key companies in the market are:
- Amazon AWS
- Rackspace
- Google Cloud Platform
- Linode
- Cloudera
- Digital ocean
- Gandi
- Microsoft Azure
This is a good solution for companies that plan to build or modernize their data center, but need a server infrastructure within a shorter time period. In such cases, it is possible to extend the network of the server room to the cloud via VPN solutions and implement new servers in the cloud-based solution.
The benefits of the use of infrastructure in the cloud:
- No need to worry about the server environment (temperature, humidity, AC failures)
- No obligations regarding the duration of the contract
- No need for large initial investment in equipment, which improves the company's cash flow
- No effect of impairment of equipment, in which you have to invest if creating your own data center
- No need to have a special room with access control and additional safeguards
- No need for any server administrator
- No charge for electricity – fees are included in the cost of using the cloud
- No need to have redundant current infrastructure and UPS
- No need to worry about a stable and redundant internet connection and its routing, or maintenance of IP addresses
- Easy scaling of resources in case of periodic needs, e.g. generated by trading peaks or promotions
The solutions that we deploy to the cloud include:
- CDN (Content Delivery Network) – global supply of data to multiple users
- Network and data center
- Storage and analysis systems for very large data sets (Big Data)
- Systems of archiving, backup and restoring data
- Developer environments for your programmers – these have a short shelf life and in most cases the initial investment in equipment is economically unjustified
