In maintaining IT environment, business storage certainly has its nuances. To operate better, business needs the operational flexibility to address them. But, no worries! Hybrid Cloud adoption can help business through the needs with more deployment options than other storage models.

As the comparison, for the on-premise component, business can only choose the options that range from zero-up-front cost software running on the business servers, to multi-petabyte turnkey system. Meanwhile, for the cloud component, a range of offerings could be long-term or short-term storage needs. Therefore, cloud storage enables business to mix and match the optimal solution. Whether it is for the rapid data access on-premises or long-term archival storage, these needs can be done by a common set of storage techniques and tools.

2. Hybrid Cloud offers better data protection strategy

Realize it or not, data protection is fundamental to every business storage. With the large data, applications, and systems it contained, business have to protect its storage so it could get off of the threats of data loss. Hybrid cloud storage model offers business of all sizes incredible data protection options, such as backup deployment.

With a hybrid configuration, you can backup data to object storage on premises, then automatically tier data to the cloud for long-term archive. 

In this way, business could have two optimal results: business have a copy of data on-site for rapid recovery and a low-cost, long-term archive offsite copy for disaster recovery.

3. Help business meet data governance rules

Signs That Your Enterprise Cloud Solutions is Over-Engineered

As technology developed by the day, many enterprises now implement workload solutions to digitize and fastening their organizations. With agility and automation, technology is now believed to be one of the indicators to boost and efficiently the operations of organizations. No wonder, why Indonesia Government itself has pushed many businesses for digital transformation by using technology, including enterprise cloud solutions.

According to apprenda.com, enterprise cloud solutions is a term that may refer to a cloud service platform such as Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). It provides all of the resources needed to perform the required business functions in an integrated manner, within the framework of the cloud architecture that delivers the solution.

Although there are so many cloud service providers that we can see, does not mean we can decide to implement one without considering it. Many providers offer over-engineered enterprise cloud solutions that complex and inefficient, so it increased costs, risks, or complexities of the system that can result in its failure. That’s why business needs to look for the signs of which enterprise cloud solutions that over-engineered, before deciding to implement one.

No worries, in the article below we have compiled the signs of over-engineered enterprise cloud solutions. Curious to know it further? Read them here:

1. Has no single source of truth for enterprise data

You may think cloud migration will provide the business with the ability to centralize data within a single go-to database (physical or abstract) and store important data such as customer, sales, or inventory. But in fact, there are still many cloud services with no centralized coordination around common database services, which will lead to many different types of databases during the move to cloud.

Therefore, before deciding to move to one of the enterprise cloud solutions, business needs to double-check on its deployment. So, it will prevent business to the complex deployment and increased cost also risk.

2. The cloud costs more than the status quo

Although it’s common to spend more on cloud solutions than on its starting point, business must also factor in its many advantages to the business. a good rule of thumb for an acceptable cost increase would perhaps 10% to 15% more than its starting point. However, many businesses still have end states that are 30% to 50% more costly, with no clear business benefits to justify the extra costs. 

Therefore, business needs to keep a close eye on centralized efficiency and cost optimization in its enterprise cloud solution. Over-engineering happens when business adds too many unnecessary features. These features drive up the costs without a counterbalancing ROI.

3. Has no centralized command and control

The core problem for most enterprises is a lack of centralized planning. When it comes to common services, operations, or security, too many choices and a lack of governance quickly lead to a mess.

For example, a public cloud is added to a multi-cloud deployment because a single development team said they needed a specific database that runs on a specific cloud. The addition happened without examining the cost, ops, and complexity of managing a public cloud that provides one service to one team. Therefore, the coordination between development and migration teams is needed for a fully optimized meta-architecture for an enterprise cloud solution.

In simplifying data management in Hybrid Cloud environment, business also needs to understand the requirements for security and governance. Hybrid Cloud security needs to be a focus from the start, and mechanisms like identity and access management (IAM) make it simpler by giving business ways to assign the identities to servers, people, devices, and data. Thus, it would be easy to manage the access. Not only that but the security also requires encryption for all information, both when it’s at rest and when it’s in use.

Additionally, Service Level Agreements (SLA) also need to be considered as part of the successful Hybrid Cloud management. SLAs are contracted promising specific levels of service to the end-user, with penalties if those levels aren’t met. Knowing those promises is an essential part of making sure the hybrid cloud manager meets expectations.

3. Determine Tools to Support Hybrid Cloud

Ingin Membangun Strategi Hybrid Cloud? Lakukan 5 Langkah Ini!

Perkembangan teknologi seperti pemanfaatan Cloud Computing memang tidak diragukan lagi pengaruhnya. Selain karena membuat operasional bisnis berjalan secara efisien, cloud nyatanya juga menghasilkan beragam inovasi baru bagi berbagai perusahaan. Tak heran karena kecanggihan dan agilitas yang diberikan ini, Gartner memprediksikan 75% perusahaan besar dan menengah  akan mengadopsi strategi cloud, termasuk strategi Hybrid Cloud sebagai salah satunya.

Di masa kini, strategi Hybrid Cloud bukan lagi menjadi opsi Cloud Computing terbaru untuk diimplementasikan oleh bisnis. IBM bahkan berpendapat bahwa Hybrid Cloud menjadi salah satu solusi yang menarik untuk diterapkan, mengingat kapasitasnya yang memungkinkan pengusaha untuk memanfaatkan penyedia layanan Public Cloud dan menggunakan Private Cloud untuk keperluan aplikasi dan datanya.

Tak hanya itu, pemanfaatannya pun juga dapat mengombinasikan proses pengolahan data dengan menggunakan Cloud Computing dan olah data secara langsung di data center perusahaan. Dengan demikian, perusahaan akan memiliki sistem pengolahan data yang mendekati real-time, bebas anggaran, dan skalabilitas yang tinggi.

Akan tetapi, membangun strategi Hybrid Cloud juga tidak bisa dilakukan secara sembarang. Beberapa hal juga perlu dipertimbangkan untuk mendapatkan keuntungan yang optimal. Di artikel kali ini, Zettagrid merangkum langkah-langkah yang perlu bisnis perhatikan untuk menciptakan strategi Hybrid Cloud. Ingin tahu seperti apa? Simak selengkapnya di bawah ini:

1. Teliti Opsi Penyedia Layanan dan Lakukan Uji Coba

Saat berencana mengimplementasikan strategi Hybrid Cloud, Anda pastinya akan memanfaatkan satu atau beberapa penyedia layanan Public Cloud. Untuk menentukan yang sesuai, ada baiknya bisnis tidak hanya menyelami atau memilih salah satu penyedia layanan Public Cloud.

Cobalah untuk menginvestasikan waktu dan sumber daya bisnis demi menemukan penyedia layanan Public Cloud yang sesuai. Dengan menilai secara keseluruhan terkait performa dan layanan yang ditawarkan masing-masing penyedia, ini akan mengerucutkan penyedia layanan yang sesuai untuk strategi Hybrid Cloud bisnis Anda.

2. Pilih Strategi Penskalaan

Ketika menerapkan strategi Hybrid Cloud, memperluas kemampuan IT bisnis dengan menyediakan lebih banyak sumber daya dari penyedia layanan Public Cloud, sudah pasti dilakukan oleh perusahaan. Maka, ketika Private Cloud juga perlu diskalakan untuk mencapai strategi Hybrid Cloud yang optimal, penskalaan yang tepat juga perlu dilakukan oleh perusahaan.

Anda bisa memutuskan strategi penskalaan yang sesuai dan mencakup faktor-faktor seperti anggaran, sensitivitas data, dan kontrol yang Anda perlukan atas aplikasi yang Anda skalakan. Sehingga, ini akan menentukan apakah Anda perlu menskalakan data atau aplikasi tertentu ke Public Cloud atau Private Cloud.

3. Tentukan Sistem yang Akan Digunakan di Hybrid Cloud

Pada umumnya, menggunakan Hybrid Cloud bertujuan untuk mengurangi beban pada sistem di infrastruktur lokal dan mengurangi biaya IT bisnis. Untuk mencapai hal tersebut, maka akan masuk akal bagi bisnis untuk merencanakan dan menyegmentasikan sistem dan aplikasi yang akan digunakan di layanan Public Cloud.

Sistem dan aplikasi yang akan digunakan di strategi Hybrid Cloud juga tidak bisa diimplementasikan secara sembarang. Anda perlu menentukan sistem yang sesuai untuk digunakan di Public Cloud. Misalnya, Anda menggunakan strategi Hybrid Cloud untuk kebutuhan pengembangan, Backup, atau Disaster Recovery.

4. Melakukan Implementasi Secara Bertahap

Perlu diketahui, mengimplementasikan sistem dan aplikasi ke Hybrid Cloud bukan berarti Anda dapat melakukannya sekaligus. Waktu dan berbagai tahap implementasi juga diperlukan oleh bisnis agar strategi Hybrid Cloud dapat berjalan sesuai keinginan. Lalu bagaimana caranya?

Pertama-tama, bisnis perlu mengidentifikasi proses, aplikasi, atau beban kerja apapun yang dapat diimplementasikan dengan mudah ke sistem Public Cloud. Beban kerja awal ini dapat bertindak sebagai percobaan implementasi, sehingga perusahaan berkesempatan untuk mengetahui lebih banyak tentang seluk-beluk implementasi sistem di cloud yang lebih kecil sebelum menangani yang lebih besar. 

Selain itu, Anda juga perlu memeriksa dampak aplikasi di setiap fase implementasi. Sehingga Anda dapat mengetahui aplikasi mana yang perlu diperbarui sebelum atau selama proses implementasi. 

5. Teliti Persyaratan Kepatuhan Penyedia Layanan

Penting bagi Anda untuk memiliki pemahaman penuh tentang persyaratan kepatuhan sebelum menggunakan layanan Public Cloud. Jika bisnis Anda berencana untuk menggunakan penyedia layanan cloud, Anda perlu memastikan apakah penyedia tersebut memiliki sertifikasi keamanan data dan informasi untuk melindungi data perusahaan.

Protect Fintech With 5 Functions of Veeam Backup

As a pandemic COVID-19 spread to almost all over the world, the demand for digital channels for payment, credit, business, and general cybersecurity, has accelerated. This can’t be said with no reason, of course, but technology has played a key role to grant loans and monitor the financial health of many individuals and SMEs. Therefore, it is not a surprise anymore to see if financial technology (fintech) and credit analytics will be crucial drivers of change in the future.

However, as a massive digital transaction has been made by users, it places Fintech as a vulnerable industry to be attacked by all kinds of cyber threats, including ransomware. It can be said as Fintech has personal or commercial financial and superannuation information. So, if the organization doesn’t have any proper protection or security system, ransomware may infect fintech IT systems as long as there’s a vulnerable gap in its IT system.

Implementing Veeam Backup can be the solution to protect Fintech data. Veeam prides itself on being in the front lines, fighting the good fight against ransomware, and protecting important data kept by the fintech. It offers transparent and actionable strategies on how to educating employees, rotating backup copies across several locations, and leveraging cloud options for making backups practically immutable.

Besides that, Veeam also has five functions that can protect fintech from a ransomware attack. Read those below here:

Protecting backup data from attack

Air-gapped or “immutable” backups offer a powerful technique for being resilient against ransomware and other threats. Enabling a replica of its backup, stored out of reach from cyber attacks, utilizing controls that ensure deletions or changes cannot happen without strict multi-level approvals.

Veeam’s Scale-out Backup Repository (SOBR), partnered with Capacity Tier (also known as Cloud Tier), enables an easy-to-use capability that writes backup data into object storage on any platform that supports it. So, it will protect fintech data.

Detecting ransomware

Detecting ransomware attacks in their initial stages can be difficult. That’s why Veeam provides the ability to closely monitor and protect fintech IT environment and be aware of any suspicious or abnormal activity.

By analyzing CPU usage, datastore write rate and network transmit rate, Veeam can protect fintech by identifying if there are higher than normal amounts of activity on a particular machine. Not only that but when the alarm is triggered, this immediately notifies fintech to inspect the machine, look at the resource counters and determine for the organization whether the activity is normal. If it’s not, this is a good indicator that more steps should be taken to determine if ransomware is the actual cause.

Ensuring ransomware-free backups

Viruses can be undetected and dormant in IT current systems and ready to pounce. If this occurred to the organization, fintech can use the power of Veeam backup and root out ransomware threats before they attack. Not only that, but fintech also can keep ransomware out for good with an automated step to scan the backup for malware.

Restoring guaranteed virus-free workloads

Viruses can be undetected and lay dormant in older backups. Therefore, fintech has to make sure it can protect itself. Secure Restore enables a complete anti-virus scan of its backups when restoring. Having access to the latest virus definitions helps safeguard against previously unknown viruses. That’s why it will protect fintech by providing greater confidence that dormant threats won’t be reintroduced back into the environment.

Testing workloads securely

Cloud Computing 20215 Cloud Computing Trends That Will Happen in 2021

 

The increasing number of data has brought the cloud to be the potential storage for its management. Cisco predicts that by 2021, cloud data centers will process as much as 94% of all workloads. With this percentage, Cloud Computing Industry like Cloud Service Providers had to increase their level of innovation to help businesses handle data management. Therefore, the solution is needed to prepare for any changes in Cloud Computing models. 

In this article, we compiled five Cloud Computing trends to help enterprises in facing cloud opportunities and challenges in 2021. Let’s take a look at these ones to make your cloud strategy to be more successful:

1. Moving Cloud Towards the Edge

As a new decade begins, many technologies such as 5G, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and even Machine Learning (ML) now appear to become solutions for some industries. Forresters said those components will need Cloud Computing for the integration. However, the integration would not be enough if other relevant factors like its deployments only on the cloud, therefore solutions like Edge, is needed to help its deployments.

The ‘Edge’ refers to a computing model that optimizes web applications and internet devices by reducing the data source distance. Some of the advantages of Edge Computing include easy deployment for services in the case of developers, and the ability of the cloud to solve the gap existing between the cloud and end-users. However, this integration may create a problem when it comes to providing high levels of data security.

2. AI Will Revolutionize Cloud Computing

As Cloud Computing rises in 2021, technology like Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be an integral solution in driving the cloud towards its full potential. Let’s imagine what cloud that is integrated with AI, could do to anticipated inventions such as smart cities, self-driving cars, automated health-checks, among other inventions. 

Through Cloud Computing services such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), or Platform as a Service (PaaS), the IT department working with low budgets will be able to utilize the full power of AI. Not only that, but Machine Learning (ML) also will play a critical role to keep data centers running efficiently.

3. Multi-cloud will continue to grow

In 2020, multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud was a popular solution for enterprises in running their business needs. Yet, who might expect that this Cloud Computing trend still continues to grow in 2021? Due to the difference in services offered by cloud service providers, many organizations in 2021 still considering Multi-cloud as a solution. Gartner says, 80% of customers will be adopting Multi-cloud into their cloud strategy.

4. The rise of the cloud-native

As it is mentioned before, Multi-cloud will be rising in 2021. To activate the experience to be brought about by this change, cloud-native technologies can be a solution for the equation. Here are some components that make up the cloud-native technology stack:

  • Containerization

With projected revenue growth of 24 million by 2024, container management repositories contained the most power when it comes to cloud-native capabilities. This can be said as the cloud-native can perform tasks such as workload transportation across multiple channels (on-premise, the cloud, and on the edge).

  • Serverless computing

As the 5 best fastest growing Platform as a Service (PaaS) cloud services in 2020, serverless computing enables the IT department to deploys applications across different clouds.

  • Orchestration platform

These platforms have a function to reduce the complexity of container management across different cloud service providers.

5. The needs for Data Security, Private, and Regulations will be increased

Although 2021 will be potential for a whole new level of innovation, this era also will be at risk of data security. According to LogicMonitor, IDC, 33.3% of organizations are struggling with cloud adoption because of data security. There are many questions about how the integration of new technologies such as 5G, serverless computing, edge computing, and many others will affect cloud security. Therefore, in 2021, Cloud Service Providers will be expected to come up with solutions that will ensure data security.
