High demands are placed on institutions with critical infrastructure because their service must continue to operate smoothly and reliably during power failures, cyberattacks and acute threats. To meet these demands, the well-established Swisscom Private Cloud (Enterprise Service Cloud) has been extended to include an on-prem IT solution. It delivers reliable business continuity, even during a complete loss of external connectivity. In addition to fast and flexible scaling, it offers maximum autonomy and data control. Your managed private cloud is therefore not only cost efficient, but can also be tailored to your individual needs thanks to the curated managed service catalogue (IaaS).
Do you want to preserve the business continuity of your business-critical applications? Do your employees need to have access to your data, even during network issues and power or Internet outages? Would you like to protect your infrastructure from power failures and cyberattacks, while at the same time benefiting from maximum data sovereignty?
The Enterprise Service Cloud includes the following standard services, which you can select in the self-service management portal and have operated as a managed service at your company.
Additional services (such as professional services) can also be selected from the Enterprise Service Cloud catalogue. Get in touch to find out more.
Here is a small selection of specific practical challenges and solutions showing how Enterprise Service Cloud OnPrem can support companies or institutions with critical infrastructures day to day.
Sectors: manufacturing, logistics, outsourcing
For strategic and security reasons, a logistics provider cannot move its local production control to the cloud. However, the company wants to use a modern, flexible infrastructure, manage additional services itself and use as few resources as possible for its IT operations.
Our edge cloud acts as the local production infrastructure while the Swisscom Cloud serves as a backup for the IT systems that do not have to be on the premises. If necessary, a CyberVault Backup(opens in new tab) solution is available, which maximises security for the backup.
Sectors: hospitals, energy suppliers and emergency services
Hospitals have to stay up and running even during a power outage or network fault and need full access to their data at all times. They also need to be protected from cyberattacks and mitigate short-term peak loads.
A local, autonomous edge cloud installation combined with an Enterprise Service Cloud zone. The flexible IT architecture guarantees maximum availability and covers peak loads via the Swisscom Cloud. Operation and automation are ensured by the same team and the same processes as for the Swisscom Private Cloud. If the provider’s connectivity is lost, the hospital’s own data centre maintains business continuity for its business-critical applications and all instantiated services continue to run. This requires the hospital to ensure a reliable power supply. For ransomware protection, the backup can be enhanced with a CyberVault Backup(opens in new tab) solution.
Sectors: public sector, financial services
A public sector institution with high data protection requirements wants to continue using its local data centre but does not have its own personnel resources to operate the IT solution. It wants to stay protected from cyberattacks.
An edge cloud in the local data centre combined with a Swisscom Cloud Zone ensures a high degree of automation and stable operations. Operation and automation in the Swisscom Cloud enable the institution to focus on its core expertise. The modern IT solution has high availability and the Swisscom Cloud reliably covers any peak loads. Data sovereignty is guaranteed at all times. The CyberVault Backup(opens in new tab) serves as a possible extension.
