Prosimo’s cloud-native architecture is the foundation of cloud centers of excellence. In this blog, we’ll discuss the essential technology requirements to enable cloud centers of excellence, such as a cloud-native architecture, a single operating model across any CSP, a single fabric for the app, PaaS, and network connectivity, the ability to enforce security and compliance policies consistently.
Introduction to Cloud Centers of Excellence
Cloud computing has transformed the way enterprises conduct their business operations. It offers numerous benefits, including reduced costs, increased scalability, improved flexibility, and faster time-to-market. However, adopting cloud technology can be daunting, especially for large organizations with complex IT infrastructures. One of the biggest challenges enterprises face is aligning cloud and networking teams, simplifying and streamlining processes, eliminating finger-pointing, and reducing the likelihood of human error.
Many organizations are approaching Cloud Centers of Excellence (CCoE) to overcome these challenges. A CCoE is a team of experts responsible for establishing and promoting best practices for cloud adoption across the enterprise. The CCoE works closely with the IT department to create a framework for cloud adoption and helps drive the organization’s transformation process.
4 Technology Requirements of CCoE
Cloud-native architecture is the foundation of cloud centers of excellence (CCoE). A CCoE is a group of individuals who oversee and manage an organization’s cloud strategy, governance, and operations. The primary goal of a CCoE is to align cloud and networking teams to remove friction or choke points, enabling faster cloud adoption. Prosimo’s cloud-native architecture enables enterprises to build transparent infrastructure for applications and developers, making it an ideal solution for organizations seeking to develop a CCoE. This blog will discuss the essential technology requirements to enable CCoE.
1. Be Cloud Native
The first requirement is a cloud-native architecture that enables enterprises to build transparent infrastructure for applications and developers. This architecture must rapidly adopt new services from cloud service providers (CSPs) without disrupting existing brownfield cloud environments. Prosimo’s cloud-native architecture achieves this by providing a modular, scalable, and flexible infrastructure that enables enterprises to deploy and manage applications across multiple cloud providers.
2. Be Consistent
The second requirement is a single operating model across any CSP. This model allows enterprises to easily interconnect their cloud with the same level of observability and consistent connectivity model. Prosimo’s cloud-native architecture provides a single operating model that simplifies and streamlines processes and eliminates finger-pointing and human error. This reduces onboarding application times and remediation times, improving efficiency and offering significant cost savings.
3. One Fabric for Networks, App and PaaS
The third requirement is a single fabric for the app, PaaS, and network connectivity. This fabric allows developers to quickly deploy and manage applications across multiple cloud providers without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. Prosimo’s cloud-native architecture provides a single fabric that ensures developers can provision and use cloud resources seamlessly across multiple cloud providers.
4. Be Secure
Finally, security and compliance are critical requirements for any cloud network. The ability to consistently enforce security and compliance policies across any cloud network, application, or microservice is crucial. Prosimo’s cloud-native architecture ensures enterprises can consistently enforce security and compliance policies through advanced security features such as micro-segmentation and access controls. This makes it easy for enterprises to secure their cloud resources and comply with industry regulations.
In conclusion, a cloud-native architecture is essential for organizations seeking to build a CCoE. It enables enterprises to build transparent infrastructure for applications and developers, rapidly adopt new CSP services, and easily interconnect their cloud with the same observability and consistent connectivity model. Additionally, a single fabric for the app, PaaS, and network connectivity ensures that developers can quickly deploy and manage applications across multiple cloud providers. Finally, consistently enforcing security and compliance policies is critical for any cloud network. Prosimo’s cloud-native architecture addresses these essential requirements, making it an ideal solution for organizations seeking to build a CCoE.
