FAQ

IT infrastructure is critical as it lays the foundation for a company's comprehensive digital transformation (DX) journey. Therefore, during infrastructure implementation or renewal, it's essential to consider various factors, including the objective selection of products and solutions, the application of the latest and optimal architecture, and the provider's ability to ensure seamless maintenance and technical support. Above all, it's crucial to verify the provider's technical expertise and capability to manage the entire lifecycle of the IT infrastructure domain, which encompasses a diverse mix of technologies.
On-premises infrastructure offers distinct advantages over cloud in terms of data security and control. Because data is stored and managed within the organization's internal systems, external network transmission is eliminated, thereby minimizing security risks. Particularly in compliance-critical industries such as finance and public sectors, an on-premises environment enables full enforcement of internal security policies. Furthermore, on-premises infrastructure provides advantages in data accessibility and disaster recovery management. While cloud solutions rely on providers for data storage and recovery, potentially causing accessibility issues or recovery delays, on-premises systems empower internal teams to directly manage incidents and design recovery protocols, thus minimizing downtime and guaranteeing data accessibility. Moreover, in environments where data sovereignty and emergency preparedness are critical, on-premises infrastructure offers considerable advantages.

FAQ

Individual contracts with multiple maintenance providers can enhance the client's influence over each provider, but they also complicate contract management and often preclude cost savings from economies of scale. Critically, complex failures can lead to disputes between providers, undermining quality control. Conversely, integrated maintenance reduces the client's contract management burden and allows for cost savings through bulk discounts by leveraging the provider's buying power. Furthermore, it enables comprehensive quality control, facilitating process standardization, systematic Service Level Agreement (SLA) management, and effective resolution of complex failures.
To ensure quality and infrastructure operational stability for successful maintenance implementation, consider these factors:

The provider has extensive experience in similar projects.
The implementation is driven by an integrated management process or methodology.
Specialized tools and solutions are used for systematic management.
The provider demonstrates expert technical capabilities with products and solutions from various global vendors.
There are proven enterprise-wide emergency response capabilities.
The provider avoids over-prioritizing cost reduction at the expense of operational quality.
The provider adheres to subcontracting prohibition regulations.
The provider manages partner performance through direct contracts in compliance with service execution quality management.

FAQ

When implementing AI infrastructure, companies often debate whether cloud-based, on-premises, or hybrid solutions is the most suitable choice. For sensitive data or stringent compliance requirements, on-premises or hybrid approaches are typically preferred. When prioritizing flexibility and scalability, companies often choose cloud-based infrastructure. For AI applications requiring dedicated resources, on-premises deployments can be more cost-effective, while hybrid solutions provide a balanced option by managing sensitive data and optimizing costs.
First, identify the root cause of the performance issues. Common causes include insufficient GPU or CPU resources and system bottlenecks. Handling large datasets or training complex models can exacerbate resource limitations, leading to performance degradation. Additionally, network latency and suboptimal software configurations (e.g., CUDA version compatibility) during training or inference can contribute. Even with adequate hardware, inefficient resource allocation or scheduling may hinder performance, highlighting the need for optimized architecture design and tailored solutions.
Corporate clients may encounter inefficiencies when purchasing independent infrastructure for each task. Instead, consider designing a scalable, integrated GPU cluster architecture to form a distributed environment. This approach enables optimized investments, efficient operations, and enhanced performance.

Private/Hybrid Cloud Market Trends

The private/hybrid cloud market has experienced rapid growth in recent years, particularly among enterprises prioritizing both data security and cost efficiency. Demand is especially high in heavily regulated sectors like finance, healthcare, and the public sector, where organizations must protect sensitive data while leveraging public cloud scalability to accelerate digital transformation. For example, the banking and financial services sector is adopting hybrid cloud models that migrate critical applications to private clouds and less critical workloads to public clouds.

Private/Hybrid Cloud Features

The private/hybrid cloud model combines the security of private clouds with the scalability of public clouds. This approach allows enterprises to manage sensitive data within a secure private environment while leveraging public cloud resources to reduce costs and enhance flexibility. Private/hybrid clouds enable enterprises to achieve significant cost reductions and flexible resource management—the public cloud's pay-per-use model minimizes unnecessary expenses, while the private cloud ensures secure management of critical workloads, enhancing overall cost-effectiveness. Furthermore, as integration with multi-cloud and edge computing accelerates, the role of private/hybrid clouds becomes increasingly vital in leveraging edge computing to boost data processing speeds and meet the growing demand for high-performance computing, such as AI.

FAQ

When adopting private/hybrid cloud, companies should carefully weigh various factors to achieve an optimal balance between security, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. Data security is the most critical factor in private/hybrid cloud deployments. Organizations handling sensitive data, such as financial and healthcare institutions, must adhere to stringent regulations. Therefore, evaluating the ability to secure critical data and workloads in a private environment while ensuring scalability and flexibility in the public domain is essential. In the private/hybrid model, companies must strike the right balance between scalability and flexibility. While the public domain offers on-demand resource expansion, the private domain should also provide flexible resource allocation and management. Cost-effectiveness is crucial, as both initial deployment and operational expenses must be considered. Implementing usage-based pricing models and resource optimization strategies is key to ensuring scalability and flexibility in the public domain without incurring excessive costs.
While hybrid cloud adoption presents numerous challenges, security and complexity are the most significant hurdles. Transferring data between on-premises and public cloud environments increases the risk of external exposure, requiring a cautious approach, especially when handling sensitive or regulated data. Implementing robust security policies, including data encryption and access control, is essential. Network security is also critical. Security tools like firewalls and VPNs are necessary to prevent hacking or data leaks along communication pathways between on-premises and cloud environments.

Hybrid cloud deployments significantly increase technical complexity due to the simultaneous operation of on-premises and public cloud infrastructures. Seamless integration and management of these diverse environments can be challenging. Thus, standardizing data formats and storage methods is crucial for maintaining consistency. Operational complexity also rises, necessitating enhanced operator capabilities and the implementation of integrated management tools.

Unexpected cost increases are another significant challenge. Managing costs can become difficult due to the simultaneous occurrence of public cloud usage-based billing and on-premises infrastructure expenses. Therefore, real-time tracking of usage and costs through cost monitoring tools is essential.
Hybrid cloud architecture is predominantly used in the financial sector. The inherent characteristics of financial data and operations, involving accounting and monetary transactions, require stringent security measures and flexible B2C service environments to meet customer demands. Additionally, the manufacturing sector is increasingly adopting hybrid cloud solutions due to growing security requirements.
