With some perspective and a look at the actual requirements for the IT infrastructure, this step makes perfect sense for companies. In discussions with customers, the bandwidth of the on-premises infrastructure is frequently cited as a technical challenge – understandable, given that from oneag to the next, the entire workforce (or at least parts of it) accesses the on-premises data center via the internet (secured, of course, via VPN/encryption/etc.).
Since bandwidth is often insufficient, performance degradation is the result. This quickly leads to user dissatisfaction. Similarly, working from home can shift user behavior – employees, due to their newfound flexibility, no longer work in their usual shift patterns but potentially work simultaneously with colleagues – this directly impacts the performance demands on the infrastructure. And here, too, waiting times lead to employee frustration.
2nd Site – with all the possibilities of a Cloudprovider
's Netstream offers numerous advantages compared to a traditional on-premises infrastructure. These include flexible scaling of computing resources (including, of course, resource reduction), flexible scaling of internet bandwidth, and the flexible use of technologies such as GPUs to meet increasing demands. When the Virtual Data Center to complement the on-premises infrastructure, this is referred to as a classic hybridCloud approach. The advantages of bothCloud and on-premises infrastructure can be combined, providing customers with real added value in terms of scalability, flexibility, and availability. Virtual Virtual Data Center is used
Especially in the area of performance improvements, additional VMs can be deployed at any time to meet increasing user demands. This allows new virtual desktops to be made available easily and efficiently whenever needed.
In line with the aforementioned possibilities, a second site can also offer significant added value in terms of availability. Domain controllers, databases, and other critical systems can be configured redundantly. This has a positive impact on performance and availability. In the event of technical challenges, the data is fully available on the other site – a true win-win situation for IT, employees, and ultimately, customers.
Advantages of this solution scenario:
