Cloud Services

Cloud infrastructure services, such as application hosting, realise significant cost savings through productivity gains, increased flexibility, enhanced scalability and better business continuity if done in a scalable, secure and reliable way.

K3K will help you to select the right cloud deployment model, service level and management features, based on our understanding of your business and your needs. We can offer you a wide range of Cloud hosting services across all cloud infrastructures such as private, public, and hybrid.

Our experts will work with you through the whole life cycle of process design, integration, implementation, migration, custom development, and management and help you migrate to any of the three primary models – IaaS, Paas and SaaS.

IaaS

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides access to virtualised computing infrastructure and typically comprises virtual server space, network connections, bandwidth, IP addresses and load balancers.

K3K’s offers all of the components of a fully out-sourced IaaS including: global networks, Internet access, firewall, mail/web/ data security and secure user access. Our service includes full backup and business continuity features enabling your organization to align its IT with your business goals and reap much more than simple cost reduction. As an IaaS provider we house, run and maintain all equipment, giving you the flexibility to scale storage up or down as required.

Advantages of IaaS

• Pay for only what you use
• Helps you develop software that can be accessed from multiple platforms such as mobile, browser, web app.
• Achieves better security than your existing software
• Dispenses with the need to manage the introduction of new software or new releases of existing software
• No need to manage the new releases of the development, underlying data center (what does this mean?), software and backups

PaaS

Platform as a Service (PaaS) is hosted in the cloud and accessed by web browser. It comprises modular features that you can pick and choose on a “pay as you use” basis and uses tools supplied by us.

K3k’s PaaS offering is ideal for developers. Offering a secure platform and environment with pre-loaded components like operating systems, databases, software and operational tools it lets your development team quickly get a network up and running, allowing you to build and run applications without the headaches and cost associated with investing in and maintaining infrastructure hardware and software. It is particularly suited to agile software development and can be utilised for the building of websites and the development of applications planned for offer over the Internet or to be sold out of the box. By allowing the creation of ring-fenced development and testing environments it is also perfect for the development of applications intended for internal use only.

As a PaaS provider we handle all the operational tasks including configuring, monitoring, and updating the business’s cloud-based network. Based on your requirements, we can deploy PaaS as public or private installation, or even as a hybrid. This all provides increased flexibility, reduced time to market and seamless deployment of your development.

Throughout, we are there to assist you - from conception to development of your app, and through to testing and deployment.

Advantages of PaaS

• PaaS supports the complete SDLC and delivery of web applications and services on the Internet
• PaaS supports deployment, testing, hosting and maintenance of your application in the same Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
• PaaS reduces TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)
• PaaS offers “pay as you use” pricing model

SaaS

K3K’s Software as a Service (SaaS) offering provides a pre-installed, pre-configured server and software environment significantly reducing the headache of hardware/software setup. SaaS is a great option for any business as it allows them to use all kinds of software on a subscription basis. K3K’s SaaS offerings include email and collaboration, customer relationship management and domain specific applications.

Advantages of Software as a Service

• Easier administration
• Platform obligation free
• Pay as you use pricing model
• No installation required
• Automatic updates
• Cross-device compatibility
• Global accessibility
