Cloud Infrastructure

Cloud computing is accessed by a set of virtual hosts that represent a preconfigured set of physical hardware components. End users do not control, manage, and operate hardware at the physical layer. However, supporting the layers of abstraction and software-defined services is a range of hardware assets common to any data center, whether cloud or on-premises. These hardware assets include servers, processing units, GPUs, power supplies, memory, and other components.

Companies can scale the allocation of these hardware resources across users and IT workloads through virtualization and layers of abstraction, depending on the model of the cloud service. Redundancy and flexibility are built into the hardware systems. This ensures that performance, security, and availability issues pertaining to cloud infrastructure hardware do not impact end users.

GoDgtl guides the process of deciding if there is a need for a public, private, or hybrid solution. The benefits provided by major cloud providers offering infrastructure as a service (IaaS) include the ability to offer a variety of granular specialized services. Whether they include container infrastructure (Kubernetes), serverless functions, or managed network services, GoDgtl can be trusted to craft a solution that is beneficial for every organization or business.

Platform and storage system are critical components of the cloud infrastructure stack. Cloud data centers store information across a variety of storage types and devices, keep backups, and scale storage allocation among users. The underlying hardware stack that supports the storage infrastructure is abstracted through virtualization or a software-defined architecture. This allows users to use storage as a cloud service that can be added or removed without manually provisioning the hardware.

The cloud service is decoupled from hardware resources such as computing power and storage using virtualization or other software-defined computing architecture. This allows hardware functionality to be emulated within a software system. Users get access to a virtual version of hardware resources such as platform, processing, storage, and networking.
