7 Alasan Mengapa Arupa Cloud Desktop Menjadi Solusi Tepat Saat WFH

Melonjaknya jumlah pasien positif COVID-19 masih menjadi perhatian bagi pemerintah Indonesia dalam mengatasi pandemi. Sampai sore ini (04/08/20) Satgas COVID-19 menyatakan angka kasus kematian di Indonesia lebih tinggi dibanding angka kematian global per 3 Agustus. Persentasenya kini di angka 4,86 % sementara global berada di 3,79% (detik.com). Berbagai cara pun dilakukan untuk menekan angka penyebaran virus, salah satunya dengan mengimbau kebijakan work from home (WFH) yang diperuntukkan bagi beberapa sektor usaha.

Perusahaan yang terbiasa menjalankan operasional bisnis secara konvensional, kini harus beralih kepada sistem digital demi meminimalisir penyebaran virus. Tak hanya itu, memonitor kegiatan user atau karyawan yang bekerja dari rumah juga perlu dilakukan agar produktivitas kerja dapat tetap terjaga. Sehingga, hal tersebut memerlukan sistem IT yang berguna dalam mengefisiensi operasional dan produktivitas perusahaan selama WFH.

Arupa Cloud Desktop (ACD) bisa menjadi solusi Anda dalam menjalankan perusahaan selama WFH. Dengan memberikan akses virtual kepada karyawan ke aplikasi dan data perusahaan, karyawan tetap dapat bekerja dimanapun dan kapanpun di bawah monitor perusahaan. Tak hanya itu, berbagai keuntungan pun bisa didapatkan dalam menggunakan ACD. Berikut keuntungan yang perlu Anda ketahui dalam menggunakan ACD selama menjalankan sistem WFH.

  1. Fleksibel Untuk Digunakan

Jika Anda kesulitan mengatur alih pekerjaan dari device perusahaan ke rumah, ACD bisa menjadi solusinya. ACD memberikan fleksibilitas bagi para pengguna yang dapat mengakses desktopnya kapanpun dan dimanapun. Cukup dengan melalui web browser yang dapat diakses melalui Operating System apapun dari berbagai macam device, Anda sudah bisa memfasilitasi karyawan agar dapat bekerja secara produktif.

  1. Memberikan Akses Perusahaan Dalam Memonitor User

Selama bekerja dari Rumah, Anda pasti berpikir bagaimana caranya agar kinerja user atau karyawan dapat tetap terjaga. ACD memberikan akses kepada pengusaha atau Human Resource (HR) untuk memonitor kinerja user selama bekerja di rumah. Pengusaha dapat mengetahui berapa jam user menggunakan desktopnya, hingga apa yang user kerjakan dalam desktop tersebut. Sehingga, Anda tidak perlu khawatir lagi jika user tidak bekerja selama WFH.

  1. Dilengkapi Keamanan Berlapis

Dalam menggunakan sistem IT, risiko masih dapat ditemui. Salah satunya ialah kebocoran data. Untuk mencegah terjadinya hal tersebut, ACD dilengkapi dengan keamanan berlapis dan terjamin. Seperti firewall, IDS/IPS, VPN, dan standar SSL Encryption yang umum digunakan dalam memproteksi keamanan sistem online banking dan secure payment.

  1. Tidak Memerlukan Pemindahan Data

Ketika menggunakan ACD, Anda tidak perlu lagi melakukan pemindahan data dari on-premise. Hal ini dikarenakan ACD akan bekerja sama persis dengan desktop atau aplikasi perusahaan. Sehingga, Anda tidak perlu lagi mengubah infrastruktur yang telah digunakan saat ini cukup dengan melakukan pelebaran network dari cloud Zettagrid ke environment on-premise serta melakukan training berkepanjangan untuk membimbing user dalam menggunakan ACD.

  1. Tidak Membutuhkan Waktu Lama Dalam Deployment

Jika Anda baru memutuskan untuk menggunakan ACD pada masa WFH ini, Anda tidak perlu lagi memikirkan berapa banyak waktu yang terbuang untuk deployment. Hanya beberapa jam saja, ACD dapat dideploy untuk digunakan langsung pada perusahaan.

  1. Meningkatkan Efisiensi IT

Anda tidak perlu khawatir mengenai berapa banyak biaya yang akan dikeluarkan ketika menggunakan ACD, sebab ACD diciptakan untuk meningkatkan efisiensi IT perusahaan Anda. Sehingga, perusahaan tidak perlu lagi melakukan investasi CapEx untuk pembelian hardware, lisensi software, dan implementasi. Anda juga dapat berlangganan tanpa komitmen jangka panjang dan membayar dengan menggunakan mata uang Rupiah. Dengan demikian, ketika US Dollar mengalami kenaikan biaya, berlangganan ACD akan tetap sama.

  1. Harga Kompetitif dan Penambahan user flexible.

Harga menjadi pertimbangan utama perusahaan dalam menentukan system yang akan digunakan untuk keberlangsungan jalannya perusahaan. Arupa Cloud Desktop dipricing berdasarkan tingkatan aplikasi yang dijalankan (lite,medium,Large) serta jumlah user yang menggunakan. Selain itu dalam penambahan dan pengurangan lisence dapat dilakukan dalam waktu yang relative cepat sebagaimana point no 5 mengenai waktu deployment ACD.

Australian Cloud Service Provider Hits Indonesia

/in /by

 

JAKARTA, 12 September 2017: Australian infrastructure-as-a-service provider Zettagrid has begun its assault on the wider APAC region, opening a new zone in Jakarta.

The new Indonesian offering will provide a range of coputing services, including virtual server, virtual data centre, backup and disaster recovery, built and managed in an enteprise grade VMware certified environment.

Nathan Harman, Zetta Group chief executive, says the expansion is part of Zettagrid’s global strategy and marks the first step in the channel-focused company’s strategy to deliver cloud services to the whole APAC region.

“Zettagrid has built a powerful reputation in the Australian market since our inception in 2010, and with the increasing adoption of cloud computing amongst enterprises globally, expansion into South East Asia is the next important milestone for our organisation,” Harman says.

In Australia the company manages more than 4,000 virtual machines with more than 100 channel partners nationally.

Reza Kertadjaja, Zettagrid Indonesia country manager, says there is a need in the Indonesian market for a locally hosted cloud IaaS service with easy management and integrated billing.

“Zettagrid has a long and successful track record of working with partners to design, build and manage complex cloud platforms that meet the many needs of IT organisations,” Kertadjaja says.

Zettagrid says it will offer its channel partner program to Indonesian businesses, rewarding partners who build innvoative customer solutions using technology based on Zettagrid’s infrastructure.

“This engagement includes the expansion of Zettagrid Australia’s channel partner program to local Indonesian solution providers and system integrators,” Zettagrid says.

Last month Zettagrid was awarded 2017 Cloud Partner of the Year for Asia Pacific by Zerto. More info at EnterpriseChannelAsia

Survive Disasters With Zettagrid and Veeam

/in , , , , /by

“The only thing harder than planning for an emergency is explaining why you didn’t” – Unknown

In the Information Age, where your business is expected to be up and running 24/7, you need a robust and effective disaster recovery plan. 2016 statistics show that the average workers lose 38 hours every year due to slow internet connectivity and downtime, that’s a full week every year that each employee is unproductive. It is no wonder that some businesses never recover from a serious disaster, multiply that across an entire organisation and the costs start to become unbearable.

It is easy to assume your business’s computing systems will never go down. This assumption cannot be further from the truth. The fact of the matter is that disasters happen! However, instead of focussing on the catastrophe itself and whether it will happen or not, it’s important to concentrate on developing an effective disaster recovery plan.

Disaster Recovery: What, How, Why?

Disaster recovery (DR) aims to protect your company from the after-effects of any event that can hamper or risk the smooth functioning of your business’s daily operations. The cause of organisational downtime can range from a Denial-Of-Service attack or any other cyber attack to hardware or equipment failure or even a natural disaster.

What do you do? How do you implement a cost-effective disaster recovery plan? The reality is, in our fast-paced, online world, if you are unable to transact or conduct your business, your target audience will not wait for the fault to be fixed. They will rush off to your competition. This could end up costing your business hundreds of thousands of dollars in the long run.

The great news is that there are companies in the marketplace such as Zettagrid who utilise Veeam technology to offer comprehensive Disaster Recovery Solutions.

Veeam and Zettagrid: The Perfect Team

In essence, Disaster Recovery utilises cloud computing infrastructure to protect your business applications and data from ceasing to function due to a disaster. The successful DR model consists of two essential components: hardware and software. In the event of a disaster, both of these components work together to ensure a smooth transition from your primary to your secondary system.

This is why you need a well-matched team to keep you covered. With Zettagrid and Veeam working together, you have that full coverage.

Veeam:

First, you are protected by Veeam providing the software side of the Disaster Recovery model. Veeam Replication uses an image-based recovery replication solution. With this setup, your VM maintains constant replication. If your VM should go down, your vital information is ready to access again in mere minutes, with no loss of data.

Zettagrid:

This is paired with the hardware – Zettagrid cloud computing. As the most advanced self-service cloud hosting platform in Indonesia, Zettagrid provides the ideal storage to keep your important data safe.

By using the services of these two complementary companies together, your business enjoys the benefit of having both the powerful technology and the high-quality cloud-based backup services that will ensure your DRaaS solution will work as expected when disaster does strike.

What are the Benefits of Virtual Data Center?

/in , , , , , , , /by

Virtual Data Center (VDC) is a collection of cloud resources that replace the need for your business to own and operate your own data centre. Rather than relying on physical servers to protect your applications, you now have virtual servers, providing you with the flexibility to scale up as your business needs expand.

Businesses of all sizes, especially small-to-medium sized businesses (SMEs), struggle with knowing how to manage their applications properly. Servers require climate controlled environments to function properly and often need IT professionals to manage their interface with the rest of the company assets. With our Virtual Data Centers (VDC), you can build and manage hundreds of virtual servers in a secure private, public or hybrid cloud environment from our easy to use platform.

How Can VDC Benefit Your Business?

  1. Local Data & Support: Our geo-diverse architecture and fully independent zones in Jakarta, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth allow you to store and secure your data in Indonesia or Australia. The Zettagrid team can be found across Regional, helping your business to expand and grow with VDC, where just a phone-call away.
  2. Easy Management: We’ve built a simple portal that you’ll have up and running in minutes. If you need more advanced features you can access VMware® vCloud Director. VDC simplifies cloud computing infrastructure, making it easy for your business to store and secure data,
  3. Simple Billing: Unlike other providers, we don’t charge for IOPs, Reads/Writes, PUTs, GETs and all the other nasty hidden fees you may experience with others. We deliver one fixed monthly charge for your cloud, with no contract agreements, so you know you can cancel services when necessary, or if they are not working for your business.
  4. Fully Customised Sizing: When you purchase your own equipment, it can be easy to get too much or not enough computing power and storage space. With some VDCs, you end up paying for a standard amount of storage, even if it is more than what you need. With Zettagrid, you get fully customised storage space, so you only pay for the resources you are going to use.

We want to simplify your complex IT world, that’s why we’ve built an efficient management environment on VMware’s vCloud, enabling you to tailor a solution that is secure and scalable to almost any size. You have more control because your virtual servers are kept in a container.

Why Real-Time Disaster Recovery Needs to Be a Critical Part of Your eCommerce Business Processes

/in , , , , , /by

“Make ‘business continuity’ ‘business as usual’ and embed it into your management routines as decisions are made, instead of an afterthought, check off the box exercise later.” – Bobbie Garrett

Business continuity management, or disaster recovery management, needs to be a vital part of a successful eCommerce business model. Furthermore, it is important for e-retailers to bear in mind that consumers in the Information Age are accustomed to having instant access to almost everything that they require. Therefore, to keep your customers, and your business, it is critical that you have a real-time disaster recovery plan in place to keep your computer systems up and running all the time.

The Financial Impact of a Disaster

It is important to consider the impact of conversion rate optimisation (CRO) on the sales of an eCommerce retailer. CRO is the system for increasing the number of visitors to your website and converting them into returning customers. It is easier to convince a returning customer to continue purchasing your products than it is to convert a new visitor into a returning customer. Statistics show that the ROI on returning customers can be more than 15 times that of new customers, while the ROI on new customer conversions remains consistent at 4 to 6 times at best.

Let’s presume you are an eCommerce retailer who has just experienced a disaster and your website has gone down, thus, preventing customers from transacting on your site. Not only will you lose sales while your website is down, your CRO figures will drop drastically because your website is not available for visitors to browse through.

Real-time Recovery

To ensure your customers keep on returning to purchase from your website and new visitors are afforded the opportunity to convert into returning customers, it is important to implement a robust disaster recovery or backup plan.

In order to swap seamlessly from your primary information systems to the secondary or backup systems, both need to be kept in sync with each other. An important part of the DRaaS model ensures that both your business’s primary and secondary systems are maintained in sync in real-time. Without this real-time service, you will not be able to swap seamlessly between the two systems.

A Prepared Business Is a Successful Business

The practical application of real-time disaster recovery in the form of DRaaS is essential to your daily business operations.

Not only will your profitability take a knock from the actual system downtime, but the damage to your brand’s reputation will also add to the long-term reduction in your sales figures. It is far easier to ensure you have a healthy disaster recovery plan in place than it is to try and repair your brand’s reputational damage.
