Cloud Computing & Services

IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) is a cloud computing solution that offers on-demand computing resources, such as computing power and storage, without any hardware management. It saves companies time and flexibility.

Serverless computing is transforming how applications are built and deployed by abstracting infrastructure management. Developers write code while cloud providers handle scaling, provisioning, and security. This approach enables faster development, cost efficiency, and increased focus on innovation.

Cloud architecture structures cloud computing, integrating servers, databases, and networking. It enables scalable, cost-effective solutions, fostering global connectivity. Key components include virtualization and software services.

Anything as a Service (XaaS) enables enterprise to leverage a wide range of cloud computing tools and tech via a pay-as-you-go model, removing the need to install software or hardware or be responsible for its maintenance. This enables organisations to access next gen functionality almost overnight with zero friction.

A virtual private cloud (VPC) is a service delivery model where a company is using an isolated section of a public cloud infrastructure. This allows for control and customization of the environment, ensuring data confidentiality and flexible management of IT resources.

Explore our cloud computing solution, which provides on-demand resources. The Public Cloud is adapted to suit all projects, and offers a number of tools for containerisation, network, data analysis, and much more.

Learn how a multi-cloud strategy leverages multiple cloud providers to optimize costs, data management and disaster recovery.

Hybrid cloud is an infrastructure that combines the use of public, private and dedicated cloud servers. Solutions are connected to communicate and manage applications and workloads securely, and with optimal performance.

Hybrid cloud networking seamlessly integrates private and public clouds, providing flexibility, scalability, and security. It allows businesses to optimise resources, support modern workloads, and ensure disaster recovery.

A Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a secure, isolated network hosted within a public cloud. It enables users to create and manage customised virtual networks and control IP addresses, subnets, route tables, and network gateways. VPCs offer scalability, enhanced security, and privacy for cloud-based applications and services.

Cloud storage is like a secure, online warehouse for your digital files. It replaces physical hard drives and servers, allowing access from anywhere with internet access. Benefits include easy collaboration, automatic backups, and scalable storage to fit your needs.

A cloud server is a computer accessible via the internet that corresponds to user requests and provides them with services such as websites, applications and platforms. It is managed by a user interface and maintained by a cloud service provider.

Cloud SDN (Software-Defined Networking) is a technology that manages network services through software, enhancing flexibility and scalability in cloud environments. It centralises control, optimises resource allocation, and simplifies network configuration and management, making it ideal for dynamic, virtualised cloud computing scenarios.

Cloud networking delivers network resources and services using cloud computing infrastructure, replacing physical hardware with virtualised components, such as routers and firewalls. It leverages virtualisation and software-defined networking (SDN) for flexibility, scalability, and on-demand connectivity across cloud environments.

Cloud native lets business construct, deploy and maintain applications in the cloud within a flexible architecture. Crucially, these apps allow enterprise to leverage the many advantages offered by cloud-based services including the flexibility, scalability and resilience needed to remain competitive in tough market conditions.

Cloud Interconnect establishes a private, high-bandwidth connection that bypasses the internet for enhanced performance, security, and reliability. It offers several compelling advantages for businesses of all sizes.

Cloud integration connects diverse cloud-based applications, systems, and data sources with each other and on-premises environments. It builds digital bridges for seamless information sharing, unifying IT, breaking down data silos, and automating business processes for enhanced operational efficiency.

Learn about cloud hosting and how it transforms data storage and website hosting for your business.

A cloud database is a database management system (DBMS) hosted on a cloud computing platform, be it a public, private, or hybrid cloud. Cloud databases share similar design and functionality with the on-premises databases traditionally found in an organization's data centre.

The primary distinction between on-premise and cloud databases lies in the deployment and management approach, but to end users and applications, cloud databases are indistinguishable from on-premises databases.

Cloud connectivity enables secure connections between local networks and cloud resources. It offers flexibility, scalability, and access to cloud services. Different types of cloud connectivity cater to various needs and security requirements.

Cloud computing is a technology that provides computing resources (servers, data storage, network, etc.) on the Internet. Typically offered through a pay-as-you-go model, cloud computing offers a scalable and cost-effective alternative to on-premises (on-premise) infrastructures.

Cloud analytics refers to the use of cloud-based technologies and services to analyse large datasets. It enables businesses to process and store data at a massive scale, giving them better analytical capabilities and real-time insights. As a result, they can make data-decisions without needing to invest heavily in infrastructure.

IaaS (“Infrastructure as a Service”), PaaS (“Platform as a Service”) and SaaS (“Software as a Service”) are cloud computing services that enable businesses to access online resources on demand, without investing in infrastructure.

Edge computing allows data to be processed close to the data source, rather than in a datacentre. This reduces latency, improves response speed, and avoids reliance on network traffic – ideal for real-time applications.

The main benefits of cloud computing for businesses are on-demand access to a wide range of IT services, provider-managed infrastructure maintenance, and the ability to develop private or hybrid clouds to suit their security and flexibility needs.
