Ergo can advise on the public, private and hybrid and multi-cloud combinations that work for you.
Cloud of your choice
Workload placement, enabled by different clouds, is now fundamental for IT strategy. Technology can be aligned to the business in a way that was unimaginable a decade ago, whether it’s retaining data in a private cloud or moving to a public cloud.
With a foot in all clouds – as well as traditional data centres – Ergo is the perfect guide for cloud journeys. We have the expertise and experience to guide you and navigate all options, whether it’s Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) or Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).
With hyperconverged architecture – compute, storage, bandwidth – available for pay-as-you-go services, public clouds have turned capital investments into operational expenditure that reset an organisation’s relationship with technology. We help leverage hyperscale public cloud platforms for business advantage.
When it comes to IaaS and PaaS, we look to align with client strategies, existing investments, and inhouse competencies.
Though they demand some of the same level of resourcing as traditional data centres – hardware management and maintenance are your responsibility – the big benefit with private clouds is that they run workloads on hyperconverged infrastructure, emulating public clouds and able to be integrated into hybrid cloud ecosystems. You get scale and elasticity, but you also retain control over compliance, security and operational efficiencies.
Ergo designs private clouds in software defined data centres, using virtualisation to help automate tasks and minimise touchpoints. It’s the perfect fit for legacy applications and databases that are difficult to migrate to public clouds, or for sensitive data that demands more oversight.
Cloud is about optimising workloads in terms of value, performance, and security, regardless of location, breaking the ties to traditional data centre infrastructure. Hybrid and multicloud strategies are the future, integrating and orchestrating public and private clouds – even legacy applications running on premise – as business needs evolve.
Ergo has the vision and capabilities to reduce costs and improve operational efficiencies in multiple ways: use containers to quickly move applications between clouds; spin virtual machines up and down in different environments to address seasonal/global demand; replicate private cloud data in public clouds to facilitate analytics at scale.
