Managed Hosting
Managed cloud hosting is a process in which organisations share and access resources, including databases, hardware and software tools, across a remote network via multiple servers in another location. In managed cloud hosting servers are purchased in slices or as a virtual server. However, before considering costs, the key focus of managed cloud hosting is on security and consistent availability. In contrast to servers that are acquired on an hourly basis, managed cloud hosting is delivered in the form of monthly (or longer) contracts for businesses, which run enterprise-critical apps over long periods.
Disaster REcovery Services
Cloud computing and backup service model that uses cloud resources to protect applications and data from disruption caused by disaster. It gives an organisation a total system backup that allows for business continuity in the event of system failure.
Using the cloud as part of a disaster recovery plan versus traditional physical infrastructure allows companies to avoid the capital expenditure needed to purchase and maintain a duplicate set of DR hardware. Instead, they rely on on-demand compute resources that can be easily accessed through the Internet. This reduces the cost of comprehensive disaster recovery solutions to a fraction of the former cost. Additionally, the solution covers more capital including laptops, desktops, and other assets that are uneconomic to include in a disaster recovery plan.
Cloud Security
Cloud computing security refers to the set of procedures, processes and standards designed to provide information security assurance in a cloud computing environment.
Cloud computing security addresses both physical and logical security issues across all the different service models of software, platform and infrastructure. It also addresses how these services are delivered (public, private or hybrid delivery model).
The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), a nonprofit organization of industry specialists, has developed a pool of guidelines and frameworks for implementing and enforcing security within a cloud operating environment.
