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

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.
