XAAS: Applications
The IT industry is undergoing continuous change. Among other things, the trend towards “information technology on demand” is being given a new technological basis with cloud computing. The cloud is calling into question the usual division of labor between manufacturers and service providers and is bringing previously entrenched factors such as software licenses into play in a new way. But what exactly is cloud computing? How does it differ from on-demand computing? What do small and medium-sized enterprises think about it? And what services does CANCOM provide for SMEs in this regard?
Play it safe and opt for complete all-round protection including the CANCOM Security Operations Center (SOC). Because with CANCOM Firewall as a Service with SOC, 24×7 security monitoring with analysis is available to you. It is carried out by experienced, CANCOM-own security analysts. If there is a threat, it is automatically classified on the basis of a coordinated set of firewall rules. In the event of a threat, your company’s designated contact person is alerted immediately. The SOC experts then formulate a concrete recommendation for action and support your company in incident response. Reporting is also included in the scope of services.
Perfect synchronization of business performance and IT costs
This enables companies to respond promptly, effectively, and immediately to market changes such as growth or consolidation pressure in a cost-effective manner. This preserves liquidity, avoids productivity losses due to a lack of capacity, and offers CANCOM customers the option of continuously and flexibly adapting IT expenses to their business performance via monthly billing by application and user.
The customer-specific “switching on and off” of software services and virtual system resources (available GHz and RAM as well as storage capacity in GBytes) in the BusinessCloud enables companies to respond to fluctuating requirements in a much more granular and agile manner than when operating a static infrastructure via physical servers. Seasonal or temporary load peaks can be dealt with quickly and flexibly via the temporary activation of additional capacities and without interrupting operations.
Via several geographically distributed data centers and a core backbone with 10 Gbit/s data throughput and direct connection to the German Internet node DE-CIX, CANCOM enables user companies in the BusinessCloud to implement sophisticated load balancing, backup and high availability scenarios and to access the applications and services provided quickly and securely.
Unlike many global providers, CANCOM produces its cloud services exclusively in its own German data centers. Sensitive business data and mission-critical applications are kept and stored in the German legal area and in accordance with German regulations and compliance requirements. All contractual documents and service descriptions, as well as the entire service and support process, are in German or, in addition, in English.
