Benefits
Key features
Saicom Private Cloud shares some basic features with public cloud, including scalability, virtualisation capabilities and computing resources that can be allocated on an on-demand basis (infrastructure-as-a-service).
Agility and flexibility
Saicom Private Cloud can be designed to meet the specific needs of our clients, to meet performance, scaling and architecture parameters.
Personalised, local support at no extra cost
Saicom offers white glove service and support to clients from migration to ongoing support. Private cloud services are maintained using dedicated software and hardware, providing the flexibility to adapt resources and control them.
Quicker time to market
With Saicom's Private Cloud software-defined data centre environment, the ability to quickly deploy and manage market ready applications is at your fingertips.
Modernise applications
No matter where clients are in their cloud journey, applications (apps) need to be modernised to work optimally in the target cloud environment. We can help chart a safe path through digital transformation and app modernisation to secure the future of workloads and provide the benefits of cloud infrastructure.
Saicom Private Cloud portal
Saicom’s Private Cloud portal offers secure, efficient, and elastic cloud resources to our customers, seamless provisioning and consumption of cloud computing resources and services to geographically distributed lines of business and IT teams in an API-driven approach.
Managing workloads through the Saicom Private Cloud Portal gives customers the benefit of fast delivery times, minimal set-up and no additional hardware setup requirements, enabling an easy, seamless experience.
Elastic Secure Virtual Data Centers
A policy-driven, software-defined data centre approach to computing, storage, networking and security ensures customers have securely isolated virtual resources, independent role-based authentication, and fine-grained control of their cloud services, with full self-service controls or delivered as part of a managed service.
DRaaS workload protection and Cloud Migration
Self-service, tiered disaster-recovery as-a-service between Saicom data centres. Customers with recent versions of vSphere; can now see Saicom as a Disaster Recovery endpoint for existing on-premise workloads. Customers can drive their own cold or warm cloud migrations with no complex architecture, networking and security conversions, benefiting from a vSphere target endpoint.
Multi-Site Management
Stretch data centres across sites and geographies; monitor resources from an intuitive single-pane of glass with multi-site aggregate views.
Operational Visibility and Insights
A single pane of glass to provide centralised cloud management views. Leverage advanced analytics for deep visibility and comprehensive reporting of virtual data centre environments.
Disaster Recovery
Regaining access and functionality to IT infrastructure after events like a cyber attack, or business disruptions is increasingly critical. Saicom offers customers disaster recovery solutions through various methods in order to tailor this to their requirements.
Secure Cloud
Supports multiple security-centric features to deliver an enterprise class cloud service. To help prevent malware, customers can utilise NSX-T distributed firewalling securing East-West traffic. Furthermore, dynamic groups and membership criteria can be defined to prevent future exposure automating protection. Customers can choose to encrypt workloads to prevent them being accessed without a key.
