Cloud Management and Automation: The Key to Success in the Cloud

 

Cloud management and automation refers to the processes and tools used to manage and optimise the use of cloud computing resources. It involves controlling and monitoring the various resources and services provided by a cloud platform, as well as automating tasks, Cloud Advisory Services and processes to improve efficiency and reduce the risk of errors.

The Benefits of Cloud Management and Automation:

Cloud management and automation is an essential part of any organisation's cloud strategy. By using the right tools and technologies, organisations can improve efficiency, enhance security, save costs, and increase flexibility in their cloud environments. 

Improved efficiency and productivity: Automating tasks and processes in the cloud can significantly reduce the time and effort required to manage and maintain cloud resources. This can free up IT staff to focus on more strategic and value-adding tasks, as well as reduce the risk of errors caused by manual processes.

Enhanced security: Cloud management and automation can help ensure that security protocols and policies are consistently followed and that all resources are properly configured and secured. This can help reduce the risk of data breaches and other security incidents.

Cost savings: By optimising the use of cloud resources, organisations can reduce their overall cloud computing costs. For example, along with Cloud Security and Governance Services, by automating the shutdown of non-critical resources when they are not in use, organisations can save money on unnecessary resource usage.

Greater flexibility: Cloud management and automation tools can make it easier for organisations to quickly and easily scale their cloud resources up or down as needed. This can help organisations be more agile and responsive to changing business needs.

Types of Cloud Management and Automation Tools:

There are various types of tools and technologies available for managing and automating cloud resources. Cloud Implementation and Migration Services shall also be considered while choosing tools. Some examples include:

Cloud management platforms: These are comprehensive tools that provide a single pane of glass for managing and optimising all aspects of a cloud environment. They typically include features such as monitoring, resource management, cost optimization, and automation.

Configuration management tools: These tools help organisations automate the provisioning and configuration of cloud resources. Examples include Ansible, Puppet, and Chef.

Container orchestration tools: These tools help organisations automate the deployment and management of containerized applications in the cloud. Examples include Kubernetes and Docker Swarm.

Monitoring and alerting tools: These tools help organisations monitor the performance and availability of their cloud resources and provide alerts when issues arise. Examples include New Relic and Datadog.

SD WAN, THE GAME CHANGER FOR REMOTE CONNECTIVITY

(sectors doesn’t matter but connectivity does)

The 21st century,era of information technology, is galloping ahead with new scientific inventions and infrastructure developments with the speed of light(metaphorically of course). Digital transformation and Networking is everywhere starting from a supermarket franchise to the development of supercomputers. Starting from hospitals to financial entities. If an organization has more than one branch, cloud management and WAN are compulsory elements irrespective of the sector it belongs.

Along with the need,an important concern also arises in the form of cloud security. Can one’s cloud be secured? During the first wave of covid 19,the number of concerns started rising such as what about hybrid IT work culture? Can employees work from home without any network issues? Can remote connectivity be optimized?

For an example,let’s take the health sector. The number of multi speciality hospitals and their branches are multiplying in god speed as the necessity as well as affordability among the mass is increasing on a daily basis. With the growing number of new diseases and the poor ratio of doctors to patients, more hospitals and branches are inevitable. Who would have imagined that a microscopic virus would turn the world order on its head and make the health care sector the most prioritized one?

Pandemic showed the world how much cloud management and remote connectivity mattered to save lives. The very small time window within which the life or death of the patient is determined i.e. golden time can be used only when the institution possesses the patient details and medical history irrespective of the patient’s regular hospital. S/he could be from Tamil Nadu but now needs medical attention in Mumbai. How will the medical center get hold of his records? The specialist doctor who needs to attend to the patient in emergency is out of station. Then how can the patient get treated? Every medical institution with more than one branch has to be digitized and needs a cloud to store and access the medical data remotely. And also needs secured connections around the world between medical centers and the specialist to make accurate diagnosis and provide timely treatment. Solution for all of these is a secured network with remote connectivity i.e. SD WAN!!

Skylark Information Technologies partnering with  FORTINET, SILVERPEAK and other renowned companies, provide SD WAN connections through immaculate services, products and end to end customer services with competitive price.

Not just for the health care sector, any kind of enterprise irrespective of the sector it belongs to,which is in need of reliable,efficient and secured remote connectivity,SD WAN is the one stop solution for it.

Software defined WAN is not only providing direct cloud access,multi- cloud connectivity,flexible connectivity options and an user friendly interface,but also next generation security.

Dx without Sx is nothing but an achilles heel to every network. Isn’t it?

Cisco and Microsoft are bypassing mpls and sending their SD WAN traffic to the cloud. Fortinet introduces enhanced AIops capabilities across its SD WAN and as per Openpr, SD WAN market is expected to reach $43 billion revenue by 2030. These clearly signals how SD WAN is going to shift the enterprises from traditional wan to SD WAN solution.

To run the race along with the dx,Skylark is here to provide world class enterprise networking solutions such as Data center networking,Wi-fi solutions,SD WANs and campus & branch networking in India. Contact Skylark today for any Networking related consultations.
