Cloud for retail
The GigaCloud cloud infrastructure is a flexible, reliable and secure service for processing and storing critical information. The cloud allows you to avoid capital investments when updating the equipment, as well as reduce the burden on the company’s IT department.
Due to its flexibility, the cloud facilitates innovations, optimising business processes and launching new projects in a short time without significant one-time monetary costs. You can increase resources during peak IT system loads at any time, and if the project launched in the cloud does not work out, it can be quickly scaled down with minimal budget losses.
Why does retail need the cloud?
Nowadays, retail trade is developing quite rapidly and faces the following issues:
- The hardware that hosts databases and critical IT systems is becoming obsolete. Consequently, the costs for its maintaining or updating it go up.
- As the project develops, the introduction of new services requires scaling up the infrastructure quickly, especially at times of peak loads.
- New projects in retail are associated with transition online and scaling during the launch of new platforms.
- The retail sector collects an enormous volume of data about its customers that need to be processed quickly and stored in a reliable place.
The GigaCloud cloud infrastructure is the only option that allows you to quickly launch any projects, compete successfully and at the same time avoid capital costs.
The GigaCloud cloud infrastructure is based on the VMware platform. Currently using the latest version of the product stack: VMware vSphere 6.7, NSX Edge 6.5, Cloud Director 10. Databases are hosted in fast all-flash storages with a performance of up to 20,000 IOPS. NSX EDGE virtual routers manage network connections to databases, terminal servers, etc.
The architecture of our cloud was designed to ensure the ability to quickly switch to new versions of VMware products, so we will always provide you with the modern functionality of this platform. The interface allows you to configure virtual machines according to the needs of the service, and the amount of dedicated resources is managed through the billing system.
If necessary, you can lease licensed software under SPLA and MSLA and manage the number of licenses as flexibly as the infrastructure.
E-Cloud is hosted on four technical sites. All data centres are TIER III with two or more power inputs from two different substations and diesel generators. They have been working without downtime for many years: Atman (Warsaw), a centralised data centre in Lviv, GigaCenter, BeMobile (Kyiv). The infrastructure of four data centres allows fr building a fully reserved IT landscape of any complexity.
