Can You Make Your Own Cloud?

Telecommunications experts came together in Barcelona for the Mobile World Congress taking place at the beginning of this year. As the industry’s premier event, technology companies have here the opportunity of showing off their latest innovations in diverse areas from cutting-edge smartphone technologies over artificial intelligence and cloud computing which is gaining enormously in importance. Considered as the digitization tool par excellence, the cloud’s capabilities are only now beginning to be realized. As business development progresses, the infrastructure must be able to cope with new modern initiatives and steady growth. Cloud computing is thereby the promise of having a modern and state-of-the-art IT infrastructure without the need for substantial capital investments and personnel increases. It is therefore not surprising that the cloud market revenue is expected to double in the next three years reaching up to 162 billion USD.

More than 65% of the cloud computing market is occupied by only a few leading giant providers such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. The remaining 35% market share is in the hands of thousands of cloud providers scattered around the world. The question arises as to after which criteria customers decide for a cloud provider. The answer is: They do not decide for one. Many companies pursue a multi cloud strategy to maintain the ability and flexibility to select different cloud services from different providers. In fact, cloud computing is distinguished by a set of deployment models which are private, public and hybrid. Today, there is no single multi-cloud infrastructure vendor with the exception of n’cloud.swiss.

Praised as a Swiss and European alternative to the major cloud providers, n’cloud.swiss is a cloud platform running in one of the world’s most secure data centers in Switzerland. The idea is to enable customers to design a cloud according to their specific requirements with the same product, either as a service model, an on-prem version in existing IT environments or as a hybrid variant. In addition, all cloud service models from Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), over Platform as a Service (PaaS) to Software as a Service (SaaS) are part of the platform. All this is surrounded by an innovative internal n’cloud.swiss application catalogue. Within the latter, n’cloud.swiss offers more than 142 applications from 30 different IT categories “free and ready to go” as well as the opportunity to upload also other development applications and tools easily.

Along personal support and competitive pricing models, API connectivity for easy and fast transfers of existing developments from or to other major cloud platforms award n’cloud.swiss a unique selling point and a competitive advantage.
