Assisting organisations in achieving digital transformation in 2020

Despite the overall market conditions and the impact of a highly disrupted 2020, spending on edge computing, as a solution that will help organisations to solve many of the operational challenges that they are currently facing, is tipped to explode. GlobalData research anticipates a 22.7 per cent CAGR on global sales of edge computing infrastructure and services through to 2024.

As noted in the previous article, Capitalising on the latest trends in cloud and edge computing, the ability for edge computing to reduce bandwidth bottlenecks and minimise latency to maximise efficiency and undertake real-time data and decision processing is a stepping stone towards advanced analytics and AI applications. That makes edge computing a key cornerstone in transformation projects.

As noted in a recent KPMG report, history has shown that companies that take a strategic future-focused investment approach during times of unrest were better placed when the global economy rebounded.

“IT leaders should continue transforming their operating models and investing in key enablers, like integrated cloud platforms, agile ways of working, intelligent automation, AI, blockchain, and advanced data and analytics.”

Zettagrid, in partnership with VMware, is enabling channel partners across Australia and Indonesia to deliver edge computing and transformation without having to construct and maintain their own infrastructure. This allows the partner to work on delivering the competitive differentiation and future readiness of transformation to their customers, without incurring the massive upfront costs and logistical challenges of building infrastructure.

VMware Cloud Director and its value to the channel

Core to the success of any edge computing application is the idea of fluidity – that local resources and compute power can seamlessly and instantly interact with cloud resources, regardless of location or the types of technology being used. VMware Cloud Director is a direct response to that technology need. It provides users with access to virtual datacentres, powered by a cloud network constructed of almost 1,000 providers. This solution delivers all the expected cloud capabilities – containers, security data protection, cloud migration and operations visibility – through a fluid, hybrid cloud fabric that seamlessly integrates between all on-premises infrastructure within the customer’s organisation, as well as the cloud.

New features to the most recent iteration of VMware Cloud Director – 10.1 – include:

  • App Launchpad, which allows organisations to access Bitnami secured and tested applications via a simple to consume interface.
  • Encryption and data security. Across a suite of security tools and processes, VMware Cloud Director provides protection not only for data at rest, but also data “in flight,” as it actively encrypts data as it is being processed, which is essential when data is being constantly moved between the edge and the cloud.

For the channel, this solution will form the bedrock of a transformation and edge computing project. The multi-tenancy approach means that the pool of resources can host and serve many customers, each in complete (and therefore secure) isolation.  It’s also rapidly scalable and API-driven, meaning that the environment and usage can be tailored to the individual organisation’s needs.

Most importantly, it allows for seamless migration and the replication of on-premise infrastructure, allowing organisations to shift from traditional on-premises environments to a cloud hybrid environment effortlessly.

Addressing the challenges in transformation

What has complicated transformation projects for many channel organisations is the need to source the infrastructure necessary to deliver solutions. Needing to design and deliver datacentre solutions is a process that has excluded many channel partners from assisting their customers with their transformation exercises.

Additionally, in the current market, enterprises are risk adverse and budget constrained – they’re looking to their channel partners to provide the innovation and workstyles of a transformed business, but to also do so at predictable and reliable prices.

Partnering with Zettagrid gives channel organisations of all sizes and scales access to VMware Cloud Director and its expansive cloud infrastructure. Additionally, partners can access:

  • Local infrastructure and support, with Zettagrid covering the entire market.
  • A shift to automated billing and provisioning. While the channel partner exclusively maintains the relationship with the partner, Zettagrid’s billing system removes the administrative headache from their operations.
  • No need to maintain the environment. Zettagrid’s infrastructure provides class-leading reliability and uptime, but is maintained entirely by the Zettagrid engineers, saving the channel partner the need to resource datacentre management, upgrades, and maintenance.

The partner’s role through this disrupted and challenging time is in helping their customers to prepare for the other side and a “new normal”. This makes technology innovation and transformation a key priority. Those partners that are able to offer their customers this without taking on the risk of infrastructure investment themselves will be well placed to deliver successful projects in the current climate.

10 Critical Features You Need From Your Cloud Provider

 

Since the global pandemic COVID-19 spread, enterprises start to looks for solution that could help them to make efficiency but yet still want to grow and running their business well. Cloud-based services can increase the efficiency of your business operations, improve cash flow and bring many other benefits.

There’s no doubt about its capabilities and advantages. However, did you know that cloud service providers differ in their approach to data security and use of technology? These differences may seem minor at first, but they could have an enormous impact on the accessibility, privacy, availability, and integrity of your sensitive data.

If you’re thinking of migrating to the cloud, here are 10 Critical Features You Need From Your Cloud Provider

1. Up-time guarantee

The potential impact of downtime can be severe.

Look for a cloud service provider who clearly documents the amount of downtime that’s allowed on your platform. Don’t assume that your definition of downtime matches theirs. Ask your potential provider to explain a few downtime reimbursement scenarios to you before you sign up for their services.

Here at Zettagrid Indonesia we guarantee you uptime and backs up our claims by offering financial rebates. We have several levels of redundancy to ensure that our systems deliver high uptime even during maintenance and upgrades.

2. Complete control

Apart from looking for a complete service level agreement (SLA) backed cloud solution, search for cloud providers that offer you a higher degree of control and flexibility.

At Zettagrid Indonesia we’re committed to giving our customers better and more control. Our services allow you to retain full control of every aspect of your virtual data center environment.

3. Customized solution

To make the most of the cloud without wasting resources, find out if the provider allows you to customize your solution to suit your needs. You may not need everything that is packaged up for you and your business.

Zettagrid Indonesia cloud is easy to use, secure, and scalable, but the best part is that you only spend on the resources you use.

4. Ease of use

In order to quickly and cost-effectively drive business outcomes, you’ll need a portal that’s easy to setup and navigate. An easy-to-use and intuitive portal makes it simpler for you to quickly manage your IT resources online.

The Zettagrid Indonesia portal gives you the power to configure your system as you wish. It’s simple to use and adjusts to the dynamic IT needs of your business.

5. Competitive price to performance

Many cloud providers charge their customers for several items like IOPS, GETs, and PUTs. It’s hard to make sense of all these additional charges on your bill. Instead of trying to decode the costs listed on your bill, look for a provider that charges you a fixed charge month after month.

That’s Zettagrid Indonesia offers simple and predictable billing. Say goodbye to invoice shock or unexplained charges.

6. Avoid lock-in contracts

Not all cloud service providers live up to their SLAs. If they lock you into a contract, you might have to stick with them even if they don’t meet your requirements.

Zettagrid Indonesia’s ‘love or leave it’ policy makes it easier for you to do decide whether you still want to continue using our outstanding services. You’re never locked in. That’s just how confident we are in our capabilities.

7. Local data storage & support

Many cloud service providers don’t advertise where their data centres are. They may store your data overseas and even move your data without notifying you.

With Zettagrid Indonesia, we host your data locally in Indonesia, with zones in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Jakarta. We make sure we keep your data safe by complying with Indonesian Privacy Principles.

8. Data sovereignty

If your data is stored overseas, your rights over your data come second to the rights of the organisation that’s minding your data. This is something you ought to consider when looking for a provider.

We understand this principle at Zettagrid Indonesia and make sure your data remains safe right here in Indonesia.

9. Backup and replication options

Look for a service provider that offers you a quick and easy way to backup, replicate, and restore data from the cloud. That way you’re always protected, no matter what.

Zettagrid Indonesia gives you the opportunity to choose the right backup and replication solutions for your business so you can avoid harmful data loss in the event of an unexpected business outage. That way your business can quickly recover and have your business operations restored.

10. Real-time metrics

Sometimes, it’s challenging to manage virtual environments because of their complexity. Find a provider that offers you real-time metrics. They will show you how well your virtual environment is performing and let you easily find and remediate performance issues.

Zettagrid Indonesia offer real-time metrics with real-time control, 24/7.

Tips Memilih Cloud Service Provider

Tips Memilih Cloud Service Provider

 

Pada masa pandemi ini, keberadaan cloud service provider menjadi populer bagi pengusaha dari berbagai industry. Hal ini dapat dikatakan mengingat pemanfaatan teknologi cloud yang bersifat fleksibel dan efisien. Tak hanya itu, cloud juga memungkinkan pengusaha untuk bekerja dari mana pun dan kapan pun. Sehingga tak mengherankan, jika teknologi satu ini mampu memudahkan organisasi agar tetap bisa memperlangsungkan bisnisnya di masa yang tak menentu ini.

Jika Anda baru akan mulai beralih menggunakan cloud computing, pastinya Anda akan bertanya-tanya bagaimana cara memilih penyedia layanan cloud yang berkualitas?

Dalam memilih layanan cloud, berbagai aspek tentunya perlu diperhatikan oleh Anda. Meski saat ini banyak cloud service provider yang menawarkan layanan cloud computing dengan beragam keunggulan, namun ada baiknya Anda perlu mempertimbangkan hal tersebut dengan cermat dan berhati-hati demi menemukan cloud hosting yang berkualitas untuk organisasi. Sebab jika tidak sesuai, hal ini akan memakan waktu dan biaya bisnis secara cuma-cuma.

Untuk menghindari hal tersebut, simak  6 Tips Memilih Cloud Service Provider yang patut anda pertimbangkan:

  1.     Kebutuhan Organisasi

Sebagai pengguna Anda tentunya harus memiliki tujuan dalam beralih menggunakan cloud computing. Jika Anda tidak ingin menghabiskan waktu dan uang demi layanan cloud yang tidak sesuai, maka Anda perlu mengetahui lebih dalam kebutuhan dan ekspektasi Anda guna mencapai penghematan biaya. Untuk itu, Anda perlu membuat daftar tujuan terlebih dahulu, sebelum akhirnya menentukan penyedia cloud computing.

  1.     Performa Server dan Jaringan

Salah satu yang perlu diperhatikan pengusaha sebelum menggunakan cloud provider adalah dengan memperhatikan performa server atau jaringan.  Jika Anda ingin mendapatkan akses cepat ke aplikasi yang tersimpan di cloud, Anda perlu tahu lokasi aplikasi yang disimpan di end user, jaringan pada pusat data cloud, serta kecepatan antara lapisan server dengan kapasitas yang digunakan. Sehingga, Anda dapat menghitung performa cloud service provider sebelum Anda menggunakannya. 

  1.     Keamanan Data

Jika Anda hendak beralih menggunakan cloud service provider, Anda perlu memperhatikan keamanan data yang ditawarkan. Apakah cloud tersebut disertai firewalls, anti virus, multifactor user authentication, enkripsi data, dan audit keamanan secara rutin atau tidak. Hal ini sangat penting dilakukan untuk menghindari terjadinya serangan siber. Tak hanya itu, Anda juga bisa mendiskusikan mengenai kompetensi sistem disaster recovery centernya apabila hal ini dibutuhkan demi menghindari hilangnya data akibat bencana.

  1.     Service Level Agreement (SLA) 

Beberapa layanan cloud menawarkan Service Level Agreement (SLA) yang tinggi kepada pelanggan. Hal ini tentunya dilakukan untuk memberikan pengalaman layanan cloud yang terbaik. Namun pada banyak kasus, SLA hanya dihitung ketika sistem layanan cloud mengalami kegagalan, bukan saat ketersediaan layanan sedang berjalan. Untuk itu, Anda perlu menemukan cloud service provider yang dapat menjelaskan rencananya dalam memenuhi SLA kepada pelanggan untuk memastikan kompetensi layanan cloud.  

  1.     Memonitor Layanan dan Keamanan

Jika Anda beralih menggunakan layanan cloud, seluruh sistem yang Anda pergunakan akan dimonitor secara berkala oleh penyedia layanan. Penyedia biasanya melakukan cara ini tidak hanya oleh sistem tetapi juga oleh pusat operasional yang siap membantu. Untuk itu, Anda perlu bertanya apakah penyedia layanan juga akan memonitor terkait keamanan siber, serta pastikan pula jika Anda memperoleh laporan bulanan terhadap layanan yang digunakan. Sehingga, Anda bisa memastikan transparansi layanan yang diberikan oleh cloud service provider.

  1.     Menjamin Keamanan Data Penggunanya

Sebagai sebuah perusahaan penyedia layanan cloud computing, Anda juga perlu tahu apakah penyedia menjamin keamanan data pengguna dengan baik. Untuk itu, Anda perlu memastikan apakah cloud service provider tersebut memiliki sertifikasi platform teknologi hingga sertifikasi dan standar ISO/IEC yang dapat menjamin keamanan data penggunanya. Sehingga, data Anda tidak akan mudah disalahgunakan oleh pihak luar.

Zettagrid Indonesia merupakan salah satu penyedia layanan cloud computing untuk solusi perusahaan anda di saat menghadapi situasi pandemi yang tidak menentu ini.

Firewall on cloud

The role of Firewall on Cloud Computing

It is true that the digital era has opened up many opportunities in utilizing technology in everyday’s life. Various aspects ranging from lifestyle, entertainment, business and even healthcare are now into digital. That’s why technology can make it easier for people’s activities today.

Although it has many positive impacts on everyday life, technology could also come with the risks that can be occured. Sometimes, technology with a low security system has a big potential threat, especially to the company or organization that owns the system. Therefore, protection is needed to avoid technological security risks. One of them is by using a Firewall system.

According to Forcepoint, a firewall is a network security device that can monitor traffic, grant permission, or block user activity in accordance with implemented security rules. This system aims to provide a barrier between your organization’s internal network and traffic from its external sources. Hence, malicious traffic such as viruses and hacker attacks can be blocked with a Firewall system.

Not only that, Firewall also has a crucial functions for Cloud Computing which is currently becoming a digital infrastructure. Here are 3 functions of Firewall on Cloud that you need to know:

  1. Protect the server from suspicious remote access

If your business is currently running remotely, then each user will definitely work remotely as well. Of course, users will need an internet connection because of it. However, does the internet connection that you use have the same security system as you work at the office?

In the current situation, hackers might attack and move user’s monitor controls. Like the case of a hacker attacking a video conference application a few times ago. However, by installing a Firewall, you don’t have to worry about it. Because, the function of a Firewall on Cloud is to determine which users can access the company’s servers.

  1. Block content that is dangerous 

Have you ever warned that the website you access has content that can compromise the security of your data? If you have experienced this, it can be said that it is one of the functions of Firewall. At Zettagrid cloud service, we have a layered Firewall that can detect dangerous websites for your data security. Hence, the website can’t be opened by the user anymore.

  1. Protect your company data

Like network security systems in general, a Firewall on Cloud becomes a protection for internal company data. Therefore, it can’t be accessed easily by others and your vital data is not easily stolen, lost, or even used for unwanted things.

Zettagrid Indonesia provides cloud services with layered Firewalls that comply with international security certification standards. So, you no longer need to worry about starting to move your data to the Zettagrid cloud because its security has been guaranteed.

Benefits of Virtual Datacenter

The Benefits Of Virtual Datacenter

During this pandemic, cloud computing became a solution for enterprise in various industries. Besides efficient IT costs and capacity, the cloud also improves business operations even though it is run remotely. This happened without no reason of course, but cloud computing has an IT infrastructure that can support user success. One of them that is quite crucial in cloud infrastructure is a Virtual Datacenter (VDC).

A Virtual Data Center is a collection of cloud infrastructure resources that are used to store data and information securely. These resources can be contained in computation, memory, storage, and bandwidth. Beside that, this system also can support the infrastructure to be more complex with functions, operating systems, and virtual machine (VM) specifications as needed.

According to intervision.com, Virtual Datacenter is hosted on a public cloud and is based on VMware vCloud technology which provides full compatibility with any VMware environment. This solution is builts on open standards with OVF packaging for transport workload and interoperability with additional support for VMware vCloud API. Therefore, Virtual Datacenter resources can be made available for applications, business units, and projects as needed without having to worry about physical capacity.

Not only that, a Virtual Data Center also offers public and private catalogs of Virtual Machine (VM) templates. So, users can build new virtual machines quickly, or upload VMs that are already running in the user’s internal environment. Users can also enable to build virtual applications (vApps) on Virtual Datacenter. So, if you have an application that requires more than one VM also custom security and startup parameters, you could use vApps.

In Zettagrid Indonesia, Virtual Datacenter not only will enable you to control your own virtual server. But, it also will bring you some benefits. Let’s see the Benefits of Virtual Datacenter 

  1. Replicating Data For Backup System

Losing all critical data in VM can be scary. But, if you decide to use Virtual Datacenter from Zettagrid, you don’t have to worry about it anymore. Because it will keep your VM safe by providing a secure cloud backup with a customizable schedule. By replicating your data from a Virtual Datacenter, it will allow you to roll back to the previous VM version.

  1. Intelligent Management

You can set various network settings (local network, NAT, Firewall, Load Balancer, VPN/Metro Ethernet and others). Beside that, you can collaborate your virtual machines into clusters (vApp) according to the purpose or function of your business applications (web servers, databases).

  1. IT Cost-Efficient

When you have more control over the cloud you use, you only have to pay for what you actually need. So, you can decide what scale you want to set up according to your organization’s demands for growth, without investing more on CapEx for hardware. That’s why it is affordable to use for enterprise in improving business continuity.

Cloud Computing To Reduce IT Cost During Pandemic

Cloud Computing Reduce IT Cost

Cloud Computing To Reduce IT Cost During Pandemic

As the digital era evolves in just a few years, cloud computing has become one of the solutions for various industries. According to a survey by RightScale, both public and private cloud adoption have increased significantly in 2018. It showed that the number of respondents who have adopted public cloud is 92 percent, up from 89 percent in 2017, while the number of respondents now adopting private cloud is 75 percent, up from 72 percent in 2017.

This cloud computing trend does not happen without a reason of course, but It can be caused by various things like lower operating costs, improved time to market, better collaboration, and increased flexibility. That’s why cloud computing is now become a great solution to run business, especially during pandemic that forced enterprises to reduce IT  cost to achieve business efficiency so their business could still running in this uncertain times.

But, do you know what cloud computing is?

Refers to Wikipedia, cloud computing is a combination of the use of computer technology and internet-based development. In other words, it can be meant as a collection of resources which usually consists of vCPU, RAM, and storage. These systems integrated into a single unit, running on the internet network, and having flexibility in its use.

Cloud computing also has characters. There are:

  1. Self-Service Use 

Cloud computing’s characteristic of self-service providers goes hand in hand with on-demand computing capabilities. Developers could choose the resources and tools they need through a cloud provider. Although a provider sets policies to limit what IT teams could run, employees still have rights to build, test, and even deploy applications as they need.

  1. Measured Services 

Measuring service usage is useful for both cloud providers and its customers. Usually, cloud systems are automatically controlled and resources are optimized by leveraging measurement capabilities at a certain level. The provider and customer can monitor, control, and report on the use of the services.

  1. Flexible, Scalable, And Secure 

Cloud has a flexible capacity depending on user needs. Therefore, you can easily increase or decrease service capacity as your needs. That’s why, its capacity is scalable. Not only that, the cloud has a secure system to protect your data. And if you were experiencing a data loss, you could always run a backup.

  1. Cost-efficient – Reduce IT Cost

If you decide to use cloud computing, then you will experience a cost effective for hardware allocation. It also does not require maintenance and reduces IT consumption. That’s why cloud is affordable to use. Enterprises could achieve IT cost efficiency by using cloud as it could be scale up and down and pay-as-you-go based. So it will help enterprises business continuity especially during pandemic COVID-19.

Not only that, cloud computing also has various models of usage. They are:

  1.     Software as a Service (SaaS) 

This type of cloud is a service that refers to cloud-based software that can be used through the internet. Its applications are available in the form of a subscription according to user needs or on-demand. So, if you use this SaaS, you no longer need to buy licenses and install applications, but you could simply pay a fee according to data usage.

SaaS is one of the cloud services that is often used by enterprises to maintain businesses because it is easy to manage and very affordable. Besides, this service is especially useful for working anywhere. 

  1.     Platform as a Service (PaaS)

The second type is a cloud-based service by renting hardware, operating system, storage, and network capacity through the internet. This framework is typically used by developers to focus on building or creating software. Users could rent virtual servers and services to run web-based software that has been developed. Not only that, users could also test web-based software that is being developed. 

  1.     Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

IaaS is a cloud computing infrastructure service that contains virtual computer hardware devices with internet network, bandwidth, and IP address support. Besides, Its service providers usually provide various infrastructure specifications, both CPU, RAM, and data storage virtually without an operating system. 

Along with the development of cloud technology and needs for its services in Indonesia, many cloud service providers arise by offering cloud products and solutions according to customer needs. Some of them are from the individual, UMKM, Small Medium Business (SMB), and even enterprise or corporate segments.

Zettagrid Indonesia is one of the cloud service providers of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) that offers Virtual Server, Virtual Datacenter, Backup as a Service (BaaS), and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS). We also already achieved VMware Cloud Verified which could be beneficial for our customers so they could use all automation from VMware cloud technology.

Cloud Computing Atau On-Prem?

Cloud Computing atau On-premises? Manakah yang lebih baik?

Memilih solusi IT Cloud computing atau On-premises untuk bisnis anda merupakan hal yang krusial. Karena jika salah pilih, maka banyak hal yang harus anda pikirkan dari awal. Apalagi di masa pandemi COVID-19 yang tidak menentu seperti ini, yang dimana tak jarang beberapa perusahaan harus melakukan efisiensi agar bisnis berjalan dengan lancar di tengah pandemi.

Sebelum memilih harus di alokasikan kemana biaya investasi anda, lebih baik anda mengenalinya lebih baik terlebih dahulu apa itu cloud computing dan ap aitu on-premise yang mana yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan anda.

Cloud computing adalah layanan komputasi melalui internet dengan basis pembayaran pay-as-you-go basis, atau membayar sesuai pemakaian anda. Dengan kata lain, cloud computing adalah solusi hosting dimana penyedia layanan cloud atau cloud service provider menawarkan fasilitas dan data center untuk IT workload perusahaan anda. Ketika anda menggunakan jasa cloud provider, cloud provider anda lah yang harus bertanggung jawab atas data center, keamanan, dan fungsi network IT workload anda.

Sedangkan didalam On-premises atau on-prem, seluruh IT environment dan infrastruktur termasuk server dan software yang digunakan, terpasang dan dikelola oleh IT organisasi atau perusahaan sendiri. On-premise sendiri memiliki server fisik yang biasanya terletak di lingkungan organisasi/perusahaan tersebut.

Jadi dimana letak perbedaan dan mana yang terbaik? Cloud computing atau On-premis?

Cloud Computing Atau On-Prem?

Cloud computing memiliki kemampuan fleksibel atau scalable. Sehingga dengan cloud bisnis akan lebih mudah untuk mengembangkan atau mengurangi kapasitas sesuai dengan kebutuhan. Kemudian cloud juga lebih instant dari segi kapan anda ingin menggunakannya. Jika anda ingin menggunakan anda tinggal menyalakan fungsinya namun sebaliknya, anda juga dapat memberhentikannya hanya dengan mematikan/turn off.

Dari sisi biaya, cloud memiliki keuntungan tersendiri yaitu anda hanya membayar sesuai dengan kapasitas yang anda gunakan. Sedangkan, di On-prem biaya operasional akan terus sama bahkan meningkat apapun yang terjadi.

Dengan cloud, perusahaan juga tidak perlu memikirkan biaya perawatan dan update system, sehingga anda dapat menghemat waktu, biaya dan tenaga untuk memenuhi strategi bisnis anda.

Di Zettagrid, anda dapat mengakses sistem dan data anda dengan keamanan yang terjamin Up-time Service Level Agreement (SLA) 99,9%. Ditambah lagi saat ini Zettagrid Indonesia adalah cloud service provider di Indonesia yang memiliki sertifikat VMware Cloud Verified Provider, sehingga anda sebagai user dapat memaksimalkan seluruh fitur VMware cloud-based yang ada di Zettagrid.

Jika anda berminat, atau memiliki pertanyaan lebih lanjut, anda dapat menghubungi kami disini atau email kami di sales@zettagrid.id.
