SEIDOR Cloud: ensure your transition and management in the cloud

Why migrate to the cloud?

The cloud allows companies to enjoy more scalable, flexible, and secure environments, with the possibility of remote access from anywhere. It is important to mention the private cloud in the business environment. Data has become the main asset for companies, and therefore, this option can be attractive for those who require more exhaustive control over their data and environments, providing superior physical and logical security.

Another aspect that we must consider when migrating to the cloud is the location of the data: these are always subject to the laws and regulations of the country in which they are stored and, especially for those companies that operate in multiple countries, data sovereignty is crucial. Here, again, private clouds play a significant role, as they better control the physical location of the data.

The cloud represents a significant cost saving in aspects such as the purchase, maintenance, and updating of hardware and software that the company has. It has a pay-per-use model where companies can increase or decrease resources according to their needs, and it is easier to access new technologies and updates than in on-premise models, in addition to having proven to be safer in practice.

Despite this, there are also advantages to the public cloud. Therefore, the best approach is multicloud, as we will discuss below.

The multicloud approach and current hyperscalers

Within the different cloud modalities, there is one that has currently been consolidated due to its functionalities: the multicloud approach. Basically, it is a strategy that involves the simultaneous use of multiple clouds.

This is especially interesting nowadays due to the current trend of hyperscalers specializing in certain solutions and services. With multicloud, we can use different cloud modalities or providers to cover different usage requirements, allowing us to combine the strengths of different services and optimize the performance and efficiency of applications.

In turn, we obtain greater flexibility and ease in expanding the infrastructure compared to choosing a single cloud modality, whether private, public, or hybrid. It also allows us to significantly reduce associated risks, such as server errors or data loss.

One of the most critical aspects of this modality is related to one of the current needs of companies: data repatriation; knowing where these data are located and ensuring compliance with local legislation, being able to move these data according to regulatory or business needs.

For this type of situations, private clouds such as SEIDOR Cloud have been developed to ensure smooth integration, maintaining a balance between control and agility.

SEIDOR Cloud. How does it ensure your transition and operation in the cloud?

Now that we know the advantages of the cloud and the optimal options, it remains to be seen how to undertake a project of this magnitude. The adoption of these models raises many questions, especially due to the speed at which new solutions emerge.

SEIDOR Cloud is our multiplatform solution that enables organizations to build their customized infrastructure. Each application can be hosted on a tailor-made platform, combining the advantages of public clouds and private cloud.

For years, SEIDOR Cloud has been at the forefront of technological evolution, even when hyperscalers were just beginning to develop. Today, in a changing scenario with a multi-provider and multi-stakeholder environment, we continue to adapt and improve the management, interoperability, and security of infrastructures.

Services offered by SEIDOR Cloud

SEIDOR Cloud seeks to complement multicloud strategies through three main services. These services are designed to integrate and provide a robust cloud solution that supports the operational and business continuity needs of companies, allowing them to efficiently manage their transition and operation in the cloud.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

This service allows workload migration from on-premise to SEIDOR Cloud, providing greater flexibility and scalability to the transition. The provided infrastructure can include anything from physical servers to virtualized computing resources, such as CPU, memory, storage, or networking. It is important to note that you only pay for the resources you use.

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)

This service offers business continuity solutions ensuring that there are no errors that could cause service interruptions and that clients' critical applications and data can be swiftly recovered if needed. SEIDOR Cloud uses infrastructure and data replication to secure locations in this regard, guaranteeing a fast recovery time and minimizing data loss.

Backup as a Service (BaaS)

SEIDOR Cloud offers backup solutions that are permanent and robust, thus providing an additional layer of security for stored information. Within this service, we find the management of backups of critical data in multiple locations, to prevent information loss due to failures of any kind, whether physical or cyber.

The customization and scalability are also present in this service, allowing companies to choose the frequency and scope of the backup according to their requirements. Additionally, we offer a specific backup service for Office 365, calculated per user per month, covering SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and email.

SEIDOR Cloud Features

• We do not seek to compete directly with hyperscalers, but rather to complement multicloud strategies with specific services and a more limited and specialized product offering. The services that make up the offering are designed to provide complete solutions tailored to the specific needs of clients in their transition to the cloud.
• We offer a consumption-based model instead of an investment-based model. This is crucial in situations such as moving workloads from an on-premises environment to one that offers high availability, security, and management. This is of vital importance, especially in the initial phases, before the workload stabilizes and can be fully transformed into a modernized model, whether it be another hyperscaler or remaining in SEIDOR Cloud.
• One of the foundations of SEIDOR Cloud is the focus on security and we believe that this does not depend on the client. We work proactively to prevent any cyberattack, ensuring uninterrupted availability.
• Supports architectures such as Windows and Linux in traditional x86 and x64 infrastructures, as well as on specific platforms like IBM Power. These operating systems, such as OS/400 and AIX, which are not commonly offered by other providers, are available on SEIDOR Cloud at competitive prices and with high availability.

Secure the Journey to Cloud with SEIDOR Cloud

At SEIDOR, we have a dedicated team to facilitate the evolution of infrastructures, systems, and applications towards the cloud. SEIDOR Cloud perfectly adapts to any multicloud strategy and has been operational since 2010. We offer services from 6 data centers in Spain, the USA, and Mexico, with 24/7 technical and security support.

We can integrate with any on-premise or hyperscaler infrastructure you have. Additionally, it is worth mentioning that we can offer infrastructure as a service on Intel and IBM Power platforms (OS/400, AIX, and Linux).

Additionally, for those seeking a comprehensive managed services solution, we offer a full service to manage and secure both infrastructures and SAP systems, called SEIDOR Cloud/4SAP.
