Cloud
Building a customized, secure, value-creating cloud with an independent partner.
Cloud, by CNS Communications
Our objective is to make cloud genuinely useful.
A cloud that simplifies operations instead of complicating them, that supports business strategy instead of hindering it, and that enables each department to make decisions faster with greater visibility and confidence.
Cloud is above all a strategic decision that must be part of a comprehensive vision of the information system.
This controlled cloud rests on solid foundations that are secure, high-performing, standardized and automated, capable of evolving over time.
We design it as a coherent environment that combines automation, cost control, reliability and innovation capacity.
We work with companies that want to align their infrastructure with their business ambitions, accelerate their projects and strengthen their resilience.
Cloud promises...
and the challenges to overcome to achieve them
Cloud promises:
► Cost reduction: Optimizing costs through the pay-as-you-go model.
► Managed services: Delegating the management, maintenance and updates of complex infrastructures.
► Modern services: Accelerating innovation and accessing modern services (AI, machine learning, data analytics).
► Agility: Reducing time-to-market, facilitating innovation and rapid adaptation to changes to meet business needs.
► Security: Leveraging cloud capabilities to ensure enhanced security levels.
In reality, we observe that companies try to achieve these objectives based on misconceptions:
✚ Cost control: Costs can rapidly increase without vigilance and a proper understanding of the cloud pricing model.
✚ Complexity: Moving to cloud is not simply a data transfer. Building the foundation must not be overlooked.
✚ Application compatibility: Not all applications are compatible with cloud hosting. Sometimes they require deep architectural redesign or even a solution change.
✚ Security: Cloud is not natively protected. Security is shared between the provider and the user.
Companies face growing complexity in their evolution toward cloud. Cloud evolves faster than IT departments can react.
► Growing need for sovereignty, control over data location and regulatory compliance;
► Proliferation of multi-cloud environments and difficulty maintaining a coherent and secure view (usage patterns and security models differ across providers);
► Rising and volatile cloud costs, often difficult to anticipate and manage;
► Need to standardize and automate deployments to gain consistency and agility, and reduce risks;
► Essential security reinforcement in a more open and decentralized model;
► Lack of visibility provided to business units on performance, flows, dependencies, investments and application costs;
► Scarcity of internal skills: organizations frequently face a lack of internal expertise to manage complex cloud environments and these transformations in a calm and structured manner.
