Cloud infrastructure refers to the hardware and software components, such as servers, storage, networking, virtualisation software, services and management tools, that support the computing requirements of a cloud computing model.
Cloud infrastructure also includes an abstraction layer that virtualises and logically presents resources and services to users through application programming interfaces and API-enabled command-line or graphical interfaces.
Cloud infrastructure underpins cloud computing by disaggregating the functions and features of those hardware and software components. Then, a cloud service provider -- or information technology (IT) department in the case of private cloud -- hosts those virtualised resources and delivers them to users over the internet or a network. These resources include virtual machines (VMs) and components, such as servers, memory, network switches, firewalls, load balancers and storage. These resources often support extensive and task-specific services, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
Without any cloud security and proper infrastructure, you run security and data risks. Think about your devices and how vulnerable they are to theft or damage. What happens if you lose your device and have no point of restoration for your files? What if your online accounts are breached with no cloud based fail-safe to prevent your data from being leaked? These scenarios are all possible and unpredictable. Take the step toward a secure and reliable cloud-based infrastructure today.
On-premises software is installed and runs on computers on the premises of your organisation using in-house servers and IT infrastructure, versus at a remote facility such as a server farm or cloud.
One of the key benefits is, of course, greater security. On-premise setup requires in-house server hardware, software licenses, integration capabilities and dedicated IT support to manage potential issues.
System software that manages computer hardware, software resources, and provides common services for computer programs
In computing, a virtual machine is the virtualisation / emulation of a computer system. Virtual machines are based on computer architectures and provide functionality of a physical computer. Their implementations may involve specialised hardware, software, or a combination.
Active Directory (AD) is a directory service that runs on Microsoft Windows Server. The main function of Active Directory is to enable administrators to manage permissions and control access to network resources. In Active Directory, data is stored as objects, which include users, groups, applications, and devices, and these objects are categorised according to their name and attributes.
Ransomware recovery is the process of resuming operations following a cyberattack that demands payment in exchange for unlocking encrypted data. Having good data backups and a solid disaster recovery (DR) plan are the best ways an organisation can recover successfully from this type of attack.
Endpoint encryption uses encryption algorithms to protect the files stored on an endpoint. This is an essential part of an endpoint security strategy that protects this sensitive data against physical threats.
End-to-end encryption is the most secure way to communicate privately and securely online. By encrypting messages at both ends of a conversation, end-to-end encryption prevents anyone in the middle from reading private communications.
A virtual private network extends a private network across a public network and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network.
AI / big data can be used to automate and accelerate data preparation tasks, including the generation of data models, and assist in data exploration. It can learn common human error patterns, detecting and resolving potential flaws in information.
DevOps automation is the addition of technology that performs tasks with reduced human assistance to processes that facilitate feedback loops between operations and development teams so that iterative updates can be deployed faster to applications in production.
Cloud migration is the process of moving data, applications or other business elements to a cloud computing environment.
A virtual workplace is a workplace that is not located in any one physical space. It is usually a network of several workplaces technologically connected without regard to geographic boundaries. Employees are thus able to interact in a collaborative working environment regardless of where they are located.
Network security consists of the policies, processes and practices adopted to prevent, detect and monitor unauthorised access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources.
Secure Email means an online service for sending over different types of delivery to include Encryption and/or Transport Layer Security (TLS), protecting methods to any recipient. Secure email includes a content awareness feature to shape message delivery methods, known as Data Leakage or Loss Prevention (DLP).
Infrastructure management is the management of both technical and operational components, including hardware, software, policies, processes, data, facilities and equipment, for business effectiveness. It may be divided into systems management, network management and storage management.
