What's your Cloud Strategy?
Understanding your cloud options allows you to make the best decision for your business. Kolony provides a trusted partner that's always looking for the best technology for your specific needs.
The options for cloud configuration can be overwhelming, but delegating your cloud needs to a hosting provider means you're probably setting money on fire — and losing leverage as you lock in with one provider. So what should you know before making a cloud decision?
- What are your business needs?
Whether you're optimizing for scale, budget, staff, or some aspect unique to your business, Kolony can customize an infrastructure solution that makes your digital transformation work anywhere.
- Do you have the technical team to support your cloud?
An obstacle every business faces, especially early, is simply having enough competent people to keep things running smoothly every day. One mistake you definitely want to avoid is pulling developers away from revenue-generating coding to do devops work they are unprepared to tackle — and Kolony can help.
- What's your budget?
Frequently, businesses think owning infrastructure is cost-prohibitive, but it’s likely that you’re leaving money on the table if you’re paying the PaaS markup. Kolony can ensure that your infrastructure needs are met as efficiently as possible.
- Are you in a high risk industry?
Spoiler: they’re all high-risk now. A connected world means every business is now subject to cultural and political turmoil, so it’s critical to avoid the danger of depending on infrastructure you don’t control. Kolony's team of experts can protect the future of your business by customizing a resilient infrastructure strategy.
Your cloud options
Bare Metal
Bare metal servers ensure that you have a single tenant on your hardware. You're empowered to use the cloud technology that fits your needs best. While this improves flexibility, it also increases the number of decisions you have to make. Kolony has an expert ready to help.
Public Cloud
Public clouds like AWS, GCP, and Azure offer the benefit of standardized services while decreasing costs by sharing them across many tenants. However, by using public cloud, you increase your platform dependence and minimize your ability to flex when necessary. Kolony can help mitigate this risk (or avoid it altogether.)
Private Cloud
A private cloud offers some of the benefits and risks of both public cloud and bare metal servers. Typically, you're the only tenant on the private cloud — but if your cloud is hosted on proprietary services like AWS, GCP, or Azure, you’re still losing leverage by locking yourself in. Kolony can free your company.
Hybrid Cloud
Hybrid cloud leverages multiple cloud types including on-premise, bare metal, public clouds, and private clouds. Although this increases complexity, it also enables your company to tailor infrastructure to your specific technical, compliance, and budgetary needs.
Multi-Cloud
A multi-cloud strategy allows flexibility and mitigates risk by combining multiple cloud hosting providers for your storage and compute, meeting the unique needs of your architecture. A Kolony expert can help you decide if this is your best option.
