CLOUD SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE


CURRENT AND FUTURE CHALLENGES

Fast evolving technologies (choosing the right one)

Having a platform which is scalable to cope with expected growth

Increased stress on security

Need for “Development & Hosting interaction” when designing

new products

Transics is a software company, not a hosting company

Customer expectation “olympic minimum” has increased in terms

of quality and time to market, 24/7 availability of support …

A REAL PARTNERSHIP IS NEEDED

DEVOPS

Hosting provider should help in dealing with fast

changing technologies, time to market, development…

especially for a software company … each company

has his focus

(it’s more then provide hardware, much more)


WHAT KIND OF SERVICES SHOULD

BE OFFERED?

12

Access to Paas components

(marketplaces)

Access to most suited cloud solution for

certain workload

Extra service e.g. Recover2Cloud


MongoLab is a fully managed cloud database service featuring automated

provisioning and scaling of MongoDB databases, backups, 24/7 monitoring and

alerting, MongoDB GUI tools, and expert support. By hosting MongoDB on

MongoLab’s Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) platform, developers and IT

professionals are free to focus their attention on product development instead

of operations

DETAILED EXAMPLE:

ACCESS TO PAAS COMPONENTS

13

Out of the box:

Monitoring tools

Setup issues

High availability


Don’t develop all yourselves, use available technologies out there.

E.g. push technology towards mobile applications

DETAILED EXAMPLE:

ACCESS TO PAAS COMPONENTS

14

This service should be offered by hosting providers


DETAILED EXAMPLE: INTERCLOUD

15

One hosting platform, centrally managed, offering best of all clouds, but

service via one partner!


Lot of possibilities is exploding

Landscape of offered services

is exploding

Hosting providers should

provide more services to make

software companies life easier
