Cloud Infrastructure
Any Cloud infrastructure is only as good as the Network deployed to reach it.In the LAN, high-speed, low latency private cloud computing is common place, and security and privacy are easier to achieve. But on the WAN there is far more to consider – delays and packet loss congesting multiple traffic types over slower links, and relying on the unregulated Internet to transport traffic into the Cloud all make it complex to preserve the onsite LAN-to-Server experience that is so familiar.
Add into this the additional risks associated with security, data-integrity and privacy over the Internet, or bottlenecks, single points of failure or configuration inaccuracies associated with Firewalls, VPN’s and IPS, and what once looked white and fluffy can feel daunting and dangerous.
But if the Cloud wasn’t public, and if the WAN connections to reach it were private and guaranteed, then Cloud begins to complement the enterprise infrastructure rather than add complexity and risk.
Private Cloud
The Syscomm Private Cloud delivers the enterprise qualities of Cloud whilst maintaining the virtues of an onsite solution. Though running in our Data Centres, your Private Cloud appears as if it were connected directly to your LAN – even on the same VLAN as your internal servers, and inside your corporate Firewall if required.
Network access delivered over a private Ethernet circuit or within an MPLS, VPLS or Fabric Connect network from Syscomm takes the public Internet out of the network, and allows us to guarantee end-to-end performance and offer SLA’s not only for up-time but even for application delivery across the whole solution.
