“Virtual” solutions for business

The following models of cloud technology are currently the most popular:

Rental of a virtual server (cloud data center). A data center built on cloud technologies represents servers, disks and networks accessible via Internet or dedicated communication channels. A self-service portal is created for the customer, through which he can manage resources. This allows complete control over all services placed in the “cloud”, regardless of the service provider.

Virtual office. A workplace can be organized without being tied to a specific computer, in a virtual space. The “cloud” replicates the internal network of the company, including network drives, shared folders, scheduling programs. Virtual offices can fully replace stationary workstations wherever there is Internet.

Backup. An option for a private virtual data center, provided to ensure the safety of data in emergencies. The backup system flexibly adjusts to the current volume of data, reducing time and cost.

Catastrophic Resiliency (DRaaS). A customized disaster resiliency solution service integrates multiple cloud sites with access to multiple service providers. Data security is achieved through automated or manual cross backup.

Hybrid cloud. It is an opportunity to connect a private cloud to the provider’s public cloud structure to offload your own capacity during times of high business activity – for example, when submitting reports. All processes that are not critical at the moment can be transferred to the cloud provider and then brought back. This allows you to significantly accelerate processes in your own cloud.

Application rental. Software is not purchased for installation on a particular computer but can be obtained via the Internet by paying for its use for a specified period of time. In this case you have a guaranteed twenty-four-hour tech-support and data security.

Virtual contact center. The organization of a traditional contact center requires special premises, workplaces and salaries for the office staff. A virtual contact center organized on the basis of cloud technology makes it possible to free up a considerable amount of resources and to deploy the work within two days from the moment of application to the provider.

Private cloud. This is a virtual infrastructure built for multiple parts of the same organization, its customers and contractors. A private cloud can act as a gateway to the public cloud, while providing an ever-growing array of services and keeping business-critical information systems “in-house.”
