How CDN and International Servers Networking Facilitate Globalization

How CDN and International Servers Networking Facilitate Globalization

Thanks to CDN and International server networking (ISN) globalizing any business is no longer a challenging task. This is very important considering globalization is one of the most important trends in business segment. The key to successfully run any modern business is to proactively monitor changing trends and adapt to them at the earliest; CDN and ISN make this possible 24/7.

Why and how Globalization sustains on the virtual level and where should it lead us to?

Globalization is as new as the Internet. The Internet technology has revolutionized the world, making international integration easier than ever. The advent of the cloud computing technology has taken globalization to a new level. Today, virtualization methods have reduced the entire world into a small global village. While businesses are able to centrally host resources and publish them to remote users and locations, users are able to access resources from any device, any location and at any time. With cloud, virtualization, BYOD and CDN, globalization is now happening at a faster pace and in a more obvious way than ever before. It is now integrating everyone.

From people’s perspective, globalization has dissolved international boundaries while interchanging cultures and ideologies. The global media provides a great platform for people to promote their culture and identities. On a negative note, people are influenced by the cultures of powerful countries and have lost their individualism and ethnic identity. For instance, the western culture has taken over the world by a storm. Almost all greatest technologies are determined by the powerful western nations such as the United States. Intellectual properties and cultural rights are affected as well. With a global access to intellectual property, legal and moral issues have crossed international boundaries.

But from a business perspective, globalization has extended business markets and profits. While users are able to work with world-class technologies, organizations are now able to sell products in international markets thanks to International Server Networking. At the same time, globalization has brought more innovation to technology. Using new and innovative technologies such as cloud computing and virtualization, businesses are now able to operate virtual offices to optimize resources and deliver services across the globe. Therefore, organizations and individuals need to quickly adapt to those technologies to stay up to date with the virtual world. This technological change obligates companies to effectively manage their global presence in order to stay in the competition. Not doing equals failure. Period!

Why organizations need servers across the globe?

To deliver highly scalable and reliable services, companies have to consider two crucial aspects: 1st, resources should be always available and delivered at lightning speeds; 2nd, site loading speed should also be improved. For instance, when you host a website on a server in US, the loading time is different from when being accessed in other countries, UK for instance. These days, Internet users expect your site to load within 1-2 seconds. So, you have to host it on a server in UK for these particular visitors. Similarly, you have to setup multiple servers in multiple countries when you cater to a global market. This is where content delivery network (CDN) and International server networking (ISN) are highly necessary. Medium and big companies need server across the globe to better exchange communication through geo-targeted audiences.

Content Delivery Networks

These technologies help organizations gain global presence without being in all these geographical locations physically. CDN servers are used importantly for delivering content such as streaming media, international applications, dynamic content for online shopping, marketing or for personalized web experiences. Installation or updates for software and application delivery, cross platform adaptive content, and DDoS cloud protection are also effectively handled by CDN networks.

Now there are many large CDN providers: Akamai, Max CDN, Amazon CloudFront, CloudFlare CDN and CDNetworks. To provide this service, they need to rely on their own global network or on a very strong international network of servers. Although the number is slim, some companies offer this service in a very professional manner. For instance, CenterServ offers to CDN Companies in need of global presence servers and connectivity everywhere including the most remote areas in the world. Other CDN providers and Global organization develop their own network using different independent services and binding them together.

Today, CDN and many organizations exploit International server networks in order to interchange world views, products, ideas, and other services to contribute to this modern international integration. This is Globalization happening at faster pace than ever before and will lead us closer together.

Organizational Audit and Implementation

Organizational Audit and Implementation of Cloud computing from the ground up

Organizational Audit and Implementation of CloudThe advent of cloud computing technologies has revolutionized every area of business. The cloud brings agility and scalability to business procedures, mobilizes solutions and optimizes resources to the core. Looking at the amazing benefits offered by the cloud, every industry is aggressively trying to capitalize on this trend. Analyst firm Gartner reports that the cloud adoption is seeing high rates of growth, reflecting a shift from legacy IT to cloud-based services.

While the cloud offers several benefits to enterprises and SMBs, every organization needs to evaluate certain aspects to understand when and how to implement the cloud technology as well as identify the services that can be moved to the cloud. This article is an organizational audit for implementation of cloud computing for startups as well as large enterprises from the ground level.

Identify the main business actors or stakeholders

The first step is to identity the stakeholders of your business. Stake holders are entities that interact with your business; internally and externally. They either affect your business or get affected by your business and sometimes in bothways. If you consider an ecommerce business, the internal stakeholders are the employees including executive, middle management and the C-level staff.

External stake holders include multiple entities such as:

Shareholders: one who owns the share of the company

Creditors: Persons or financial institutions that extend credit to the company

Suppliers: companies and persons that supply goods, products and other services to the company

Government: The ecommerce company has to comply with the regulations imposed by the governing authorities

Customers: An important entity who purchase products and services from the company

Society: Depending on the location, the company might have to provide certain facilities for women, minorities and older people while considering activists and unions

.

Identify and Define the flow of information

The cloud is not a one-size-fits-all model. Each organization has a different set of requirements when it comes to IT procedures. It is important to define the flow of information so that proper procedures can be implemented. For instance, an ecommerce organization has a different flow of information when compared to a courier service.

In the ecommerce business, the customer visits the online website, browses various products and makes a purchase. There are different steps involved in this process. When the customer purchases the product, they are directed to the payment gateway where they login to their bank account using a debit or a credit card and make an online payment. The bank checks the available balance, authenticates the user and transfers the money to the ecommerce account. After receiving the amount, the purchased product is sent to the dispatch section.

The courier service of the ecommerce company collects the details of the purchase, checks the inventory and packs the products. It then sends it to the destination address. The destination office receives the parcel and delivers it to the destination customer. The company should keep track of all the details of the parcel right from the starting point to the destination point. Internally, every visit of the customer, the products purchased and the purchase history is documented to study the behavioral patterns of the customers. When the cloud is implemented, this flow has to be implemented.

Put a shadow on unnecessary or unwanted data

While you define the flow of information, you need to identify components that are part of this processbut not important. If you consider the example of the ecommerce business service, the company has to keep track of the parcel as it moves from the starting point to the destination point. While the logistics personnel are involved in this process, you don’t need the payroll details of these personnel as it is handled by another entity outside the organization.

Full cloud or partial cloud combined with on-premise

After identifying all flows that goes in and out of business, you should define which processes stay on-premise and which ones move to the cloud. In the ecommerce business instance, the front end web application that displays all the products and services would require access from customers across the globe. It means you can move all the customer-facing front end processes to the cloud. There are other procedures such as big data analytics that collect customer information and mine that data. As it involves huge volumes of data, it can be processed on-premise. However, the insights delivered from analytics can be used in the central applications wherein the company can offer customized pricing structure for end-users based on their purchase history. Similarly, accounting and payroll applications can be processed on-premise. Organizations should also consider the efforts required to move data from legacy applications to the cloud. Organizations that move small portions of infrastructure should consider the fact that moving small portions of the environment to the cloud might not yield you the full resource-optimization and cost savings that you expect.

With multiple types of cloud configurations available for organizations, you can choose which applications should move to the cloud and what will stay on-premise. For the applications moving to the cloud, identifying the right type of cloud configuration is important.

Firstly, check out the legacy and fragile applications that have been around for years. Most of these applications face compatibility issues when you change the platform. Even a small change can lead to huge makeover. These legacy applications can stay on-premise. Moreover, check if the applications are web-ready. Would it be able to scale on-demand? Secondly, identify applications that are going through an upgrade procedure. Changing the environment is not recommended. You can migrate these applications when they are completely upgraded or revamped. Another important aspect is to go through the license agreements of applications. You should calculate the change in the licensing costs when these applications are moved to the cloud. If you are limited by number of servers of licenses, it is good to run them on-premise.

Choosing Software, Application and Databases

The next step is to identify the available options to manage this flow of information within and outside the organization. Choosing the right software, applications and databases to run your processes is the key. While the right software can effectively manage the cash flow, analyze sales and improve efficiencies, the wrong software can keep you out of the business.

The first step is to identify all the challenges that the software should address. For the ecommerce business, the software should manage the inventory, cash flow, securely process payments and ship the product to the end-users. In addition, there are several other processes such as analyzing customer data and delivering insights etc. Categorize these requirements into primary and secondary levels. At the primary level, the software should perform the basic functionalities of the business. The secondary level demands additional features that make the business flow easy. Secondly, determine the budget you can allocate for the software. Consider the initial investment as well as the recurring costs and maintenance options.

Based on the primary requirements and budget, you can eliminate several products and narrow down your selection to a few finalists. Make sure that the software is future-proof. Compare the features and the pricing structure offered by each product. As most companies offer a demo version, download the software and check how it processes your business procedures. Take feedback from internal users about the performance, limitations and ease of use of the products. While finalizing the product, consider the vendor performance as well. The next step is to find an implementation service provider. Your software vendor can introduce service providers who are well versed with the product. Do a final evaluation and proceed with the implementation. Plan the implementation carefully so that the business is not affected during this transition.

While choosing databases, there are three leading solutions; IBM, Oracle and Microsoft. As MS SQL Server is only available for Microsoft, you need to consider the platform you choose for your applications.

Information System Implementation and Data integration across the Infrastructure

Now that you have identified the software, applications and databases that are required for processing the flow of information for your ecommerce business, the next step is to implement this information system. The processes that are identified as cloud-ready can move to the cloud while the applications best suited for on-premise would stay in-house…

As you have already identified the flow of information for each procedure within the organization, the next step is to connect different entities in the infrastructure for a proper integration of data across all applications; cloud and on-premise. Forinstance, shipping applications such as FedEx and UPS should be integrated with other applications so that items purchased by the customer are automatically processed for shipping. You should make sure that data quickly loads from the on-premise database to the cloud applications and run in a timely manner. In addition, you should ensure that data is synchronized in real-time. Proper integration of networks for a quick and agile transportation of data across geographical and heterogeneous environments is the key. Critical data should be accessible for end-users on both sides.

Testing the Environment

To mitigate potential risks, it is always recommended to perform pilot testing after implementing the cloud technology. By testing the infrastructure, organizations can ensure that applications migrated to the cloud still meet business requirements while not creating any technical issues. It involves data verification, integration between various entities and interaction of applications on different platforms. By verifying the migration process, organizations can make sure that the production phase is better executed.

Put into Production

After the pilot testing is successfully done, organizations can start the actual migration process for a full-scale commissioning of the cloud technology. When all the above steps are properly performed, the production phase becomes a cakewalk. Even after full scale commissioning of the cloud, it is important to closely monitor the data movement across the infrastructure and the performance of the network.

A smooth transition to the cloud is only possible with a reliable and experience cloud provider. The organization is a system and we need to listen to the system to understand the requirements.

The cloud is shaping the healthcare industry

The cloud is shaping the healthcare industry – Is your organization cloud-enabled?

Healthcare is undoubtedly the world’s largest industry, valued at $2.8 Trillion dollars. It is an integration of various systems that provide services to treat patients with rehabilitative, palliative, curable and preventive care. This largest and fast-developing industry consumes 10% of GDP of US and other developed nations. Being slow to embrace the technology innovation, the present healthcare industry is bombarded with several challenges.

Challenges faced by the Healthcare Industry and Solution proposed by CenterServ

There are several organizations which are still using paper medical records in a siloed environment. Even when the data is digitalized, it is not centrally managed. This lack of portability of data makes it difficult to share information between various departments. A patient who visits a primary care professional has to carry all investigation reports while consulting a specialist. There is a lack of collaboration between patients, physicians and the medical staff.

Another challenge is the management of data-heavy documents such as radiology reports and genomic images. Moreover, you cannot access information from any location or device. In case of emergency, this aspect becomes critical. The operational inefficiency results in increased expenses. With governing regulations such as HIPAA and PACS being strictly enforced, adhering to these norms is a challenge.

Moving to the cloud solves several of all these challenges while improving the efficiency of the system. Here are some of the benefits offered by the cloud

Centralized Management

Cloud solutions create a centralized database management system facilitating on-demand access to information. Moreover, operational efficiency is greatly enhanced. It becomes easy to manage large data files such as genomic images or radiology graphs.

Improved collaboration between departments

With centralized and on-demand access to information, collaboration between medical staff, physicians and patients becomes simple and easy. Health applications can be integrated with the existing infrastructure. When a patient is referred to a specialist, the primary care doctor can simply log the patient information in the Electronic Health Record (HER) which becomes available to anyone who has the permission of the patient. With cloud computing, better care is provided to patients.

Mobility solutions

The increased use of smart-phones means organizations have to provide on-demand access to information from a range of devices. By moving the resources to the cloud, you can provide 24/7 access to resources. Users can securely access the information from anywhere, anytime and from any device.

Better Compliance

Today, governing healthcare regulations have become more stringent. PACs compliance requirement is now a mandate, according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). HIPAA is another important regulation that has to be complied with. With cloud-based data management system, it is easy to comply with these healthcare regulations.

Increased ROI

The cloud optimizes resources to the core. Capital expenses are turned into operational expenditures. On the patient side, investigation expenses are significantly reduced. It has been found that emergency departments have reduced repetitive imaging. According to Himss Analytics, organizations that use health information exchange (HIE) systems are 9% less likely to repeat ultrasounds, 8.7 % less likely to repeat CT scans and 13 % less likely to repeat chest X-rays.

Currents trends in the healthcare industry

While the healthcare industry was slow in embracing the cloud, the current situation speaks about a different picture. According to a survey published by Himss Analytics, the cloud adoption is 83% in the healthcare sector. The Internet of Things (IoT) market is valued at $24,667 million by the research firm, P&S Market Research. It is expected to grow with a CAGR of 37.6% during 2015-2020. Patient-related health apps are increasingly being used by people. In 2015, 32% of US people had at least one health app installed on their mobile, as reported by PwC. The global telemedicine market is expected to touch $27 billion by the end of 2016 wherein $16 billion is accounted for virtual health services. The cloud is playing a key role in enhancing interoperability between various applications. With the IT and the cloud taking the healthcare industry by a storm, organizations that ignore this technology are sure to be left behind.

Why CenterServ is the best cloud provider for the healthcare industry?

The most important challenge faced by the healthcare industry from the first days of information technologies is the imposition of IT standards in an industry which always requests high level of service personalization towards its very own organization. Health care industry is all about service customization. This is the real problem.

Either at local or the international level, all Healthcare organizations differ from one another for various reasons such as government policies, financial regulations, service requirements and social values. When society and people have different needs and purposes, it is a mistake to try to standardize on the IT level things which will never be standard. On the other hand, cloud companies are trying to impose their standards and this explains why it has always been a problem for this industry to adopt proper Information technologies.

Most companies are offering standards while CenterServ is the first cloud company that offers high customizable technologies instead of standards. CenterServ is the leading provider of cloud computing solutions for the healthcare industry. With thousands of nodes located in 200 countries, your data is always available online 24/7. Backed by several years of rich experience in designing healthcare cloud systems that is augmented with the experienced and dedicated staff, CenterServ delivers customized cloud solutions that are tailor-made for your organization.

How IT and Cloud Computing can help the State Government Sector?

How IT and Cloud Computing can help the State Government Sector?

With the technology department becoming a key component in delivering high quality citizen services, state government authorities are looking at various options to revamp their IT strategies. There are two important challenges for the state government when it comes to IT infrastructure. Firstly, the changing economic conditions and recession have forced the state governments to lower their budgets. Secondly, changing citizen demands on par with the innovation in technology is forcing the state authorities to realign their IT strategies for creating the required opportunities for everyone. The challenge is to balance the limited resources with performance. This is where the cloud computing technology comes to the rescue.

Types of cloud computing solutions While the cloud is a generic term, there are different types and service models that differentiate each solution. Cloud service models are mainly divided into three services namely;

Software-as-a-Service

Platform-as-a-Service

Infrastructure-as-a-Service

Depending on the IT requirements, state governments can choose the type of cloud service required. Generally, multiple service models are clubbed to leverage the technology.

The cloud is dividing into three major types based on the deployment model

Public Cloud

Private Cloud

Hybrid Cloud

The transition to the cloud While the cloud offered enormous benefits to organizations, the public sector was slow to capitalize on this new trend. Initially, public-facing websites and emails were the first components that were moved to the cloud in the state government sector. Later few non-critical applications made to the cloud followed by the datacenter consolidation and provisioning of commodity IT services. Today, state governments are aggressively moving towards the cloud to fully capitalize the innovation to the core. According to the President’s budget proposal for 2016, cloud computing accounts to 8.5% of the total IT budget of $80 billion which is an encouraging aspect to state government IT allocations. FedRAMP reports that the average number of services used by state governments is 1400. The key to successful adoption of the cloud depends on how well government policy makers, officials and staff understand and implement this technology.

Benefits of cloud computing to the State Government sector

The transition to the cloud has significantly lowered IT costs while offering several amazing benefits to the state government sector. Here are a few:

Security matters in the cloud

Security is the top priority for the public sector. And, cloud networks are more secure than traditional IT environments as they are always protected by world-class security solutions that are up-to-date. For increased security, state government agencies and departments can categorize sensitive and non-sensitive resources to move them to private and public clouds respectively.

On-demand self service

Another important requirement for any state government agency is the scalability of resources on-demand. With unpredictable traffic surges, state departments have to scale up resources without investing in the infrastructure. The cloud provides automatic provision of computing resources without requiring human intervention.

Economies of scale

The cloud offers a multi-tenant environment wherein resources are shared between multiple users. Government agencies can take advantage of this economies of scale to host less-sensitive data and applications on a multi-tenant platform while moving sensitive and mission-critical applications to the private cloud network. The infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offers the most achievable economies of scale. With low CapEx, government agencies can try the cloud model and realign strategies accordingly.

Mobility Solutions

The current innovation in the communication technology has brought an array of devices into picture. Today, citizens are expecting to access government records from a range of devices. The cloud provides the flexibility for the state government agencies to centrally host resources and securely publish them to any device, anytime and to any location. Regardless of the model and make of the device, citizens can access information and services from the comfort of their homes.

Choosing the right cloud provider

While moving to the cloud, the state government agencies should take utmost care in choosing the right cloud service provider. Improved operational efficiency, integrated processes and better management of data across the infrastructure are the three important requirements for the current public sector at the state government level. The current cloud computing solutions are mostly designed for private sector and commercial businesses. The state government requires customized solutions that effectively handle their day-to-day procedures while being easy to deploy and manage. CenterServ is one of the few cloud computing providers that offer customized solutions for state government agencies.

How IT and Cloud Computing can help the Local Government Agencies?

How IT and Cloud Computing can help the Local Government Agencies?

Whether it is a city or a county, the local governments are burdened with increasing work pressures day after day. When it comes to IT networks, every local department has to create and collect data, upload the data, analyze the data, share projects and collaborate within and outside the organization. With legacy IT infrastructure and limited budgets, IT administrators have a tough task at hand. Still, each department addresses these tasks with their own procedures and networks. This is where cloud computing comes to the rescue. By automating these procedures and leveraging resources to the core, the cloud enables local governments to deliver better citizen services and improved operational efficacies.

Challenges in the path to the cloud

Technology and people are the two important challenges for the city and county authorities with regard to cloud adoption. As cloud computing technologies offer a range of services, it is important to gain a thorough understanding on its functionality. As new technologies keep evolving, the staff has to quickly adapt themselves these changes. Secondly, the culture and mindset of the people has to be changed as well. While some staff is apprehensive of losing their jobs, others feel insecure about hosting the data in the cloud. Certain employees are reluctant to learn new technologies as they feel the present situation is just fine. However, local authorities need to understand that there is a higher level of data security in the cloud than a local leased data center. Looking at the private sector capitalizing on the cloud, local authorities are now increasing moving to the cloud.

Benefits of cloud computing to the public sector at the Local level. In the recent years, local agencies have aggressively moved to the cloud to reap the benefits. Here are a few benefits offered by the cloud.

Planning and Development made easy

The cloud makes it easy for local departments to create and manage development projects. By moving the field projects online, the local departments can involve local communities in the projects. People can provide quality feedback on projects and actively participate in clean up, surveys and other events.

Land Administration is a cakewalk

One of the tedious tasks involved in local government is land administration. Land disputes have become common everywhere. By moving the entire data to the cloud, local authorities can efficiently and accurately manage land data. People can access this information from any device and from anywhere to check out the taxes, property value and other important details.

Public Works and Disaster Management Streamlined

One of the key responsibilities of the local authorities is to keep up to date information about the traffic, parks and road infrastructure. While performing public works and water management, authorities have to maintain perfect collaboration between different departments. By moving this area to the cloud, local authorities can work in perfect collaboration within the organization as well as the staff working in any location, anytime and via any device. When it comes to disaster management, local authorities can easily co-ordinate and allocate resources to effectively quickly bring the emergency under control.

Flexibility to scale the infrastructure

Another important benefit offered by the cloud is the flexibility to scale the infrastructure on-demand. For instance, when the county has introduced a new service, they can subscribe to a limited cloud infrastructure. As the service becomes popular, they can expand the infrastructure by adding new servers. With this pay-per-use cloud model, local authorities not only scale up resources but they also optimize costs to the core. Moreover, local authorities with limited IT budgets can still work with world-class technologies.

The flexibility with cloud adoption is that you don’t have to move the entire infrastructure into the cloud. You can simply move one service to the cloud and check out the performance. Later, you can move the entire infrastructure to the cloud at your own pace. The State of cloud at the Local government level

While the cloud has become inevitable, local authorities have to consider multiple options before choosing the right cloud provider. As the services are moved online, the cloud provider should provide reliable and secure cloud solutions wherein resources are always on, fail-proof and easy to deploy and use. CenterServ is one of the few cloud solutions companies that offer highly reliable and secure cloud solutions. While most cloud solutions available in the market are designed for commercial purposes. CenterServ is the only solution that provides customized cloud networks for organizational-specific needs. By tightly integrating various procedures, CenterServ enables various departments of the city to work together in a cloud environment to share, collaborate and manage new and existing projects. Without replacing the existing infrastructure, CenterServ cloud solutions extends it to a new level.

With thousands of nodes located in 200 countries, your data is always available online 24/7. CenterServ is not affiliated or obliged to any product, service or solution which means your organization is entitled for the best available alternative for any specific purpose or need. Most importantly, CenterServ solutions are cost-effective.

How is the cloud shaping the Logistics Industry?

How is the cloud shaping the Logistics Industry?

Logistics management involves effective handling of the supply chain system wherein planning, implementation and control of flow and storage of goods and services from the point of origin to the point of consumption is covered. The Logistics Industry is a large one with a market value of $1.45 trillion in 2014, as reported in the 26th Annual State of Logistics Report published by Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP). It was an increase of 3.1% from the previous year. This value was 8.4% of the total GDP of US for 2014.

Challenges faced by the Logistics Industry and Solution Proposed by CenterServ

As with other major industries, the transportation/logistics sector is hit by recession and changing economic conditions. Organizations have to deliver more with fewer resources. To meet changing customer needs, organizations have to dynamically scale up resources. At the same time, flexibility in adapting to scaled resources is important. Secondly, when customers change their delivery orders, organizations have to still deliver goods on time. Another important requirement from customer is the visibility into logistics processes, right from the raw material through the entire lifecycle of the product. It means organizations have to provide order details as well as full item details.

Thirdly, the logistics industry involves transactions occurring multiple times and with multiple parties outside the office. Incorporating a powerful technology to connect these trading partners is expensive and requires expertise knowledge as well. Last but not the least, logistics involves employees working outside the office. Company resources should be always available from any device.

Logistics industry is among the few sectors that can fully leverage the cloud computing technology. Here are few reasons

Dynamic Supply Chain

Cloud solutions provide the elasticity that is required to dynamically scale up resources to meet changing business demands. Moreover, the cloud scales your resources at a low cost and in quick time.

While cloud has been an enticing option, there are certain barriers that negatively influenced the migration plans of several federal organizations initially. The main concern is high federal security requirements. As hackers constantly try to intrude into IT networks of federal agencies, organization-wide and system-wide security updates is a key requirement. Secondly, the work culture in the government sector is quite different to the private sector. While the cloud technology requires agile and quick changes to the technology, the federal agencies are slow to adapt to these changes. Another challenge is the lack of technical expertise required to handle the innovative technologies. Federal organizations have to train the staff to efficiently handle new technologies. Complying with data regulations is another important barrier that delayed the cloud migration process. Limited IT budgets were another concern for certain organizations. The cloud with its public, private and hybrid models efficiently resolves all these challenges.

Benefits of cloud computing to the public sector at the Federal level

In the recent years, Federal agencies have moved several government programs to the cloud that made a huge difference to the operational efficacies. Here are some of the benefits.

Transparency in Citizen Services

By moving to the cloud, Federal agencies are able to centralize their citizen services. For instance, the energy consumption of citizens is available online. Citizens can now access this data from any device and any time to keep a tab on their energy consumption levels.. A notable example is the Open Government Initiative started by the White House wherein Federal agencies are required to achieve key milestones in collaboration, transparency and participation. Another example is the ability to check the status of their service requests. The cloud enables Federal agencies to be transparent in citizen services.

Integrated IT networks

Another important benefit of cloud computing networks is the integration of IT services that delivers simplified IT management. By integrating different services, Federal agencies can reduce the server and datacenter footprint that in turn reduces the total cost of ownership. While virtualization technology optimizes the virtual desktop and application delivery, new technology such as hyperconverged infrastructure simplifies datacenter management. With low maintenance and management required, IT staff can concentrate on delivering more innovation to citizens.

Security and Data Compliance

One of the myths about cloud computing is the lack of security as data is stored on a 3rd party infrastructure. However, the cloud computing technology offers more security than on-premise solutions as the cloud vendor delivers world-class security solutions to safeguard the client data. Moreover, Federal agencies can take advantage of the hybrid cloud networks to host sensitive data on a private cloud and generic citizen data on a public cloud. At the same time, cloud enables Federal agencies to comply with government regulations as well.

The State of cloud in the public sector

The transition of Federal agencies to the cloud is increasing year by year. One of the reasons for this transition is the decrease in the entry price of cloud computing in the public sector. According to Tariff Consultings (TCL) report, the average cost of an instance of entry level cloud computing is $0.24 per hour. This is actually 66% lower than what it was in the last two years. According to Computer Weekly article, more than half of Tier1 services in the public sector would be delivered by virtual personal assistance by 2018. Looking at these trends, cloud computing for the public sector seems bright.

For the public sector, security, reliable service and compliance and costs are the key requirements. As they don’t enjoy the flexibility of changing networking strategies quickly, it is important for them to choose a cloud service provider who can deliver reliable cloud services that are always on. While the load balancing should be on dot, the price should be affordable.

Challenges faced by the Retail Sector and Solution proposed by CenterServ
