3 Alasan Mengapa Cloud Dapat Mendorong Efisiensi Bagi IT Perusahaan Anda

3 Alasan Mengapa Cloud

Pandemik COVID-19 memang menjadi tantangan tersendiri bagi setiap pengusaha saat ini. Selain harus menerapkan sistem kerja di rumah (WFH), mungkin saat ini di beberapa industry mulai merasakan dampak dari kebijakan ini, contohnya bagian sales yang sudah tidak dapat bertemu langsung untuk meeting face to face dengan calon pelanggan, pengiriman barang dari luar negeri yang lebih lama akibat tehambatnya logistik dan kebijakan baru dari pemerintah selama pandemik berlangsung, juga harga barang/bahan baku/peralatan yang lebih tinggi dari biasanya akibat meroketnya nilai US Dollar terhadap Rupiah.

Tentunya hal-hal ini dapat menjadi penghambat pertumbuhan usaha anda, dan tidak sedikit juga perusahaan yang saat ini mulai melakukan efisiensi tenaga kerja dengan melakukan PHK. Untuk itu perlu bagi anda untuk tetap dapat mempertahankan kelanjutan usaha anda salah satunya dengan melakukan efisiensi pada IT anda, dengan menggunakan teknologi cloud computing sebagai solusi IT efisiensi anda selama pandemic berlangsung. Berikut 3 Alasan Mengapa Cloud Dapat Mendorong Efisiensi IT Perusahaan Anda

  1. Mengurangi biaya modal:

Ketika anda membangun infrastruktur sendiri tentunya anda akan membutuhkan biaya yang tidak kecil dari mulai lokasi server atau perangkat infrastruktur, investasi hardware dan software, penggunaan listrik yang besar, penyediaan pendingin ruangan agar server tidak panas, penyediaan ruangan data center, dedikasi platform, biaya keamanan dan lainnya.

  1. Lebih fleksibel dan “lincah”

Dengan cloud computing, anda dapat menghemat biaya dari segi penggunaan kapasitas karena pada teknologi cloud, anda dapat mengatur sendiri besar kecilnya kebutuhan kapasitas server anda sesuai dengan kebutuhan anda. Contohnya pada saat seperti ini tentunya pada beberapa sektor jika mengalami penurunan penggunaan kapasitas IT, anda dapat langsung menurunkan kapasitas yang anda miliki melalui self service portal yang telah disediakan.

  1. Waktu pembangunan sistem yang singkat

Jika anda ingin beralih menggunakan cloud computing anda tidak perlu lagi membutuhkan waktu yang panjang untuk membangun sistem. Jika anda membangun sistem untuk infrastruktur sendiri, maka kurang lebih anda akan membutuhkan waktu 4-6 bulan, belum lagi pembangunan ruangan data center, ruangan pendingin dll.

3 Reasons why Data Center Location Matter

Data center is a physical or virtual infrastructure that used by enterprises to house their computer, server and networking systems and components for the company IT needs which involve storing, processing, and serving large amount of company critical data.

There are several things you should pay attention when you want to decide which data center you will host and store your critical data. These are including server specification and one of the important things is the data center location.

Here are 3 reasons why Data Center Location Matter.

  1. Data Center can affect your website’s speed and latency.

If your server is far away from its users, information and data will have to travel more distances. For example, when someone visits a page on your website, their computer needs to communicate with your server to access your files, photos, and other information. After that, those data will be transferred or downloaded from the server to their computer.

Unfortunately, when a data center is located far away from the user initiating the request, the process of obtaining files and data can be lengthy. Pages may take a while to load, and latency issues might arise. This problem might impact to your website visitors because they will get frustrated every time they visit your web.

  1. Secured data protection

If you place your data in local data center, you could know how secured they are. How the data center equipment and procedure when their clients want to visit the data center itself. They also equipped with excellent system that to keep your data safe.

  1. Easier to monitor

One of the most important reason to put your data on a local cloud provider is easier to monitor. Since data center became your business IT core, it is better for you if you can easily access your data center. Having long travel just to monitor your data center will wasting your time and cut your cost efficiency. Another benefits to put your data in the local cloud provider is they mostly have local experts to help you 24/7, so you can easily communicate with them.

IT Resilient During the Shopping Season

3 Things to Consider in Keeping Your IT Resilient During Shopping Season

2020 is upon us and thus it’s the year-end sale season again. This is the prime time for people to checking off their shopping lists. For those seeking for deals and discounts, this is the time. For one, the National Online Shopping Day (HARBOLNAS) in Indonesia will be held on 12 December. But whether your business is online or offline, this the period where IT department are on high alert and preparing for a “Frenzy” time.

From promotional content, marketing emails, or any other materials that will increase traffic on your websites and stores, those will just open more risk of vulnerability and attack surface for data and IT systems. Any weaknesses that are small enough on any time of the year, will be amplified and surfaced. On this shopping season, make sure that your business has the resilience to face the high traffic without a scratch. Here are 3 things that you should prepare to keep up your business with the year-end sale season traffic:

  • Prepare your IT infrastructure

Be ready to scale up for the increase in traffic. It’s not that easy to add more hardware at will. But with the advent of cloud (Infrastructure as a Service), you can get a cost-effective way to ensure your applications are ready to meet demands by increasing resources based on need and load-balancing across multiple servers. Once you have the right infrastructure in place, make sure to stress test it thoroughly and regularly so you’re confident it can handle even the craziest of shopping days.

  • Prepare your team for the IT storm

On this period, make sure your IT team and IT vendor partners are equipped and know what to do in different disaster scenarios, even when small issues arise and just managing the inflow. It is more important than ever for optimal customer service. Give them the plans and tools to deal with potential issues with grace and poise long before they are thrown into the fray. Make sure that your internet provider, your cloud partner, and your IT staff are ready as well. In the event of disaster, making sure everyone prepares for what could happen is paramount.

  • Keep your systems online and resilient

With sales at their peak, the cost of downtime is also at its highest around HARBOLNAS. Assuring that your process-critical data and applications can be recovered as fast as possible, with minimal data gaps, is so important right now. By using DRaaS solution from Zettagrid Indonesia, you can recover your systems within minutes even seconds if a disaster or outage strikes. Issues will arise when your entire business is pushed to its limit—make sure that it has the resilience to bounce back from even the worst-case scenario.

RPO and RTO

Getting Know More About RPO and RTO

Downtime can be a big problem if you are running a critical business operation. It’s something that could happened at any time, might cause lost revenue and even your customer. Cybercrimes, power outage, fire, flood, or earthquake are just several events that may cause downtime and data loss. To have a sustainable business, you need to prepare yourself. One important thing to have is a solid Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) plan.

Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) are two important parameters that could define BCDR plan. So, what is RPO and RTO?

RPO and RTO

Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is focused on data and your company loss tolerance in relation to your data. RPO limits how far to roll back in time and defines the maximum allowable amount of lost data measured in time from a downtime to the last valid backup.

For instance, in financial business, one hour of data loss could be a disaster as they operate live transactions. Another example is when you are running an e-commerce/marketplace business, one hour you lose your data, you might be lost your orders and your potential customers. RPO is about how much of data that you willing to lose before it affects your work when your systems are crashes.

On the other hand, Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is focused on downtime and how long it takes to recover after a disaster happened. For example, in a ride hailing business, how long it takes for an app to back to normal after a downtime is critical because a minute you got downtime, you might missed a lot of orders from your customers and end up they will choose another ride hailing app to provide their needs.

Zettagrid Indonesia delivers a comprehensive business continuity and disaster recovery solutions that provide data recovery, fault tolerance and high availability. We making disaster recovery easier and financially friendly by offering varieties of DR solutions that suit with your business needs. Contact us at sales@zettagrid.id for more information.
