HKT Enterprise Cloud

Businesses often face IT challenges when transitioning to modern hybrid work culture, with employees working both remotely and on-site. On-premise data centres can be costly to maintain, difficult to scale and often lack necessary security controls. Moreover, frequent hardware updates are often necessary, consuming time and resources.
   

Enterprise cloud offers a viable alternative and addresses these IT challenges, enabling businesses to use the scalability and cost-effectiveness of the cloud. It is designed to automatically configure, coordinate and manage systems, helping businesses benefit from improved cloud security, agility and mobility, with lower capital expenditure. It gives companies the flexibility to scale resources up or down as required and reduces time-consuming hardware updates. As a result, with access to trusted enterprise cloud platforms, services and solutions, companies can focus on their core operations and have the peace of mind that their operations are secure and optimally managed, regardless of whether business is being conducted on-site or through a hybrid working model.  

There are FOUR types of enterprise cloud architecture: Public Cloud, Private Cloud, Hybrid Cloud, and Multi-Cloud.  

 

A Public Cloud is a cloud-computing service that is open to the public, meaning it is hosted by an off-site, third-party provider. A Private Cloud, on the other hand, is hosted in a data centre owned and managed by the enterprise, providing complete control over the environment. As for a Hybrid Cloud, it is a combination of multiple cloud solutions, which provides more flexibility over traditional infrastructure and allows organisations to use both public and private services. Multi-Cloud, meanwhile, is a combination of multiple public cloud providers for increased performance and reliability.  

  

The key difference between these cloud deployments is that Public Cloud options are less secure and private, while Private Clouds are safer but offer fewer options for scalability. Hybrid and Multi-Cloud solutions offer a balance between security and scalability but require a bit more management on the enterprise’s part. All enterprise cloud platforms offer varying features, services, and support that are only available to business customers, making them ideal for enterprise-grade solutions. It is also essential to ascertain if an enterprise cloud provider’s services have CSA STAR certification, as this means it adheres to strict standards and can be trusted.  

CSA STAR Certification is a security assurance program from the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). It provides a rigorous third-party audit and assessment of a cloud provider's security controls and processes. Having CSA STAR Certification provides assurance to customers that an enterprise cloud solution has met the highest standards for security, reliability, and compliance. Benefits include improved security for end users, greater confidence in data protection, stronger legal and regulatory compliance, and better management of operational risk. CSA STAR Certification also provides assurance that the cloud provider has deployed appropriate security measures and that its services are trustworthy and reliable.
