Integrating Cloud Value with Business Value
Some believe that cloud value can only be reaped after infrastructure optimization. In our cloud consulting journey, we have seen organizations transforming when implementing infrastructure upgrades on cloud while gleaning consistent business value.
As cloud consultants, Mearas takes a bespoke approach in each cloud project that is undertaken. After taking an adept knowledge transfer, we design dynamic and fitting cloud architecture for your ecosystem which translates into maximum business value over time. We can say that cloud value and business value are inter-linked with each other.
Our role in some projects is that of an auditor and a facilitator, but in most cases, companies want to adopt cloud but have limited knowledge of it. In such projects, we become the extended tech-arm, conducting in-depth analysis of every digital asset and your entire workload environment.
How does IT-Infrastructure become scalable?
Mearas Technologies works on making every application resource scalable and flexible. Flexibility comes when the overall system can be accessible, and it shrinks with varying workloads.
1) Application Scalability
Mearas, as your Cloud Service Provider (CSP), closely identifies the flexible applications and the critical applications for your cloud migration strategy. For example, we bid for low-cost spot instances for idle applications suitable for EC2 capacity available with Amazon. Spot instances can offer up to 90% discount as compared to on-demand instances, but they can be prone to interruptions. It is suitable for flexible applications which are requirement-based and can handle interruptions.
Reserved instances are more consistent and prevent interruptions. It is highly available but comes with a commitment period. It’s suitable for critical applications essential to the core operations. Our vigilant bidding strategies have become a crucial part of cloud cost optimization.
Mearas, helps you elevate your application infrastructure by converting your large monolithic applications into containerized workloads with the Kubernetes platform. Furthermore, based on your current application stack, we develop cloud-native applications with DevOps technology to optimize your workflows and data transfer. Finally, we ensure smooth communications of applications on a well-defined Application Programming Interface (API).
2) Server Scalability
A Cloud server has a much larger computing bandwidth and a flexible capacity to support more users when upgraded. It provides easy and fast access to authorized users with steady connectivity. Cloud servers are linked together for changing workload capacities, which prevents downtime.
Cloud servers are highly flexible and accessible from remote locations and, more importantly, they save equipment and energy costs. They come with a pay-as-you-go pricing model which enhances the compute power automatically based on requirements.
It obviously saves a lot of physical server costs as you scale your business with more advanced systems and applications.
3) Storage Scalability
A very important aspect of cloud storage is that it can be consumed as per your data needs. It can be altered according to the varying user base. It becomes even more important when an organization upgrades to advanced technology which needs extra storage. Investing in more hardware for storage might not be wise considering the uncertain future potential of the technology.
When resources are scaled with flexible Cloud storage it meets dynamic business needs. Apart from saving on heavy hardware expenses, there are significant long-term benefits of cloud storage. There are major overheads attached to storage hardware, such as maintenance costs, downtimes with troubleshooting and not the support staff that you need to pay to keep your storage devices up and running.
Why Cloud for Business value?
The above three infra elements contribute to some form of cost savings through cloud elasticity. But to dig further, how do all the above implementations give tangible business growth?
- Speed and convenience: Your entire IT environment becomes hyper-dynamic by completing big tasks with a few clicks on virtual machines.
- Disaster Recovery: With scalable cloud storage there is no requirement for secondary data centers.
- Centralized Storage: With APIs, smooth data transfers are implemented with complete accessibility.
- Operational cost efficiencies: There are no upfront payments in cloud pricing models. You pay for what you use.
What does Mearas bring to the table?
Mearas Technologies starts with giving you a realistic reflection of a tailored cloud model from global leaders like Azure, AWS, and AWS IoT deployments for your business ecosystem and tests its efficacy with pilot migrations. Apart from cloud deployment, we provide proper training to your staff and even propose which applications are self-sustainable and which need manning.
Our surmounting end goal is to ensure that every cloud migration strategy adds value to your system with scalability and productivity.
