Cloud technology
When operational costs vaporize most of your revenue, turning to cloud options is
the best choice. Organizations fancy the use of the term ‘cloud’. Many fail to understand
that the cloud is a broad collection of services. The cloud experts know to make
cloud technology work for an organization.
Below are the essentials before jumping into a decision on the cloud.
Assessment
The assessment begins with Qukind’s cloud experts assessing your organization’s
needs. Our team will analyze your existing system in detail and the service models
of the cloud system that resonates with it. The assessment begins from the origin
or the department that needs the cloud transition the most. The assessment of the
infrastructure and its versions is involved too. This is to identify whether the
existing infra can support the cloud system. We also assess your company’s flexibility
and adaptability to embrace the technology. We generate documents on cloud assessment
and generate reports on audits performed in your company.
Mitigation of risk
This goes hand in hand with the assessment process. Our cloud specialists will scan
your entire operations and process flow for security risks. As a part of our detailed
risk analysis we separate the data from the process. Our team targets 3 processes
in your existing system that forms the core of risk analysis and mitigation. The
three things are
. Origin of the data
. Stationary data
. Data transfer
This helps us to determine the potential threats to the data in the process loop.

at Qukind will provide you with a variety options for cloud services. They vary
from public, private and hybrid.
Strategy-these are suitable for small businesses with all the essentials
and very friendly on your pocket. These public clouds have their own limitations
in terms of configuration, security, compliance and SLAs. E.g. Amazon’s elastic
compute, IBM’s blue, Window’s azure and Google apps.
Private cloud servers – these are suitable for enterprises that run their
own in-house apps. These are a little heavier on the pocket. The organizations that
make constant transfer of sensitive data can invest on this type of cloud. You can
vary the configuration and security levels based on your budget.
Hybrid cloud servers- The best and worth investing when it comes to in terms
of security failure recovery and back up. This is the solution to the domino effect
debacles. Most suited for heavy apps and large volumes of data. Operations and data
transfers that require high standard of security and compliance can make use of
these hybrid clouds.
