Cloud Operations

Recent statistics indicate that 86% of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) believe their organizations are transitioning to cloud services. This trend is anticipated to continue expanding across various businesses. 

Skykart Solutions assists these businesses in either establishing new cloud environments or transitioning their existing data centers to a highly available and secure cloud environment.

The following are the different types of cloud services:

**Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):**  

Data centers can be costly and require a skilled workforce for setup, maintenance, and operation. IaaS provides the essential servers, memory, and storage that enable customers to scale resources up or down based on their needs, allowing them to run their software only when necessary. With IaaS, there is no upfront capital expenditure; it functions as an operating expense, eliminating the risks of obsolescence and the need for constant upgrades, which are handled by the service provider. Small businesses can leverage IaaS to bridge the technology gap, resulting in more efficient delivery of their products and services. The outdated mindset of relying solely on in-house infrastructure is being replaced by cloud solutions.

**Middleware as a Service (MWaaS):**  

MWaaS empowers users to utilize cloud infrastructure for developing innovative applications without needing to purchase software or infrastructure outright. Essentially, MWaaS provides everything necessary to support the creation and delivery of web applications and services in the cloud. Today, many companies offer application-level support using cloud services without needing a dedicated platform, allowing them to focus on their core business. Starting a business in this environment requires no upfront investment in research or development, enabling anyone to provide their expertise on a global scale.

**Software as a Service (SaaS):**  

SaaS is a software distribution model that delivers applications hosted by vendors over the Internet, eliminating the need for installation on individual enterprise computers. These applications run from a centralized cloud location, making them accessible from anywhere at any time. This model simplifies maintenance and operates on a pay-as-you-go basis, significantly impacting monthly billing and overall business operations, resulting in substantial savings. The predictability and flexibility of the pay-for-what-you-use model are particularly advantageous for smaller businesses that may not have the resources to accommodate budget fluctuations.

This landscape necessitates a comprehensive application development and deployment environment, delivering a complete runtime environment with all the essential services to deploy and run enterprise-class applications. This setup facilitates more affordable and faster deployment of the entire IT infrastructure, allowing developers to focus on their applications without dealing with the complexities of the underlying hardware and software components.
