Blog: Clouds Brain

Data is a crucial component of any enterprise. Every organization has to deal with huge amounts of data. Managing storage infrastructure can create difficulties and challenges for organization. Downtime of storage can lead to huge loss in productivity of the enterprise.
Inadequate data security leads to unfortunate events like malicious attacks and loss of data. Data security should always be one among the top priorities for an organization. To ensure data is protected, organizations have to constantly monitor and manage infrastructure’s storage security.
Organization has to continuously upgrade storage infrastructure to meet an ever-rising amount of data. With this, there is an increase in cost of maintenance of infrastructure/hardware leading to increase in budget on data security and storage management.
A simple solution to resolve all the challenges of traditional storage systems is cloud storage. Click2Cloud^® offers its complete automated multiple cloud management platform “Clouds Brain”. 

Storage of high capacity of data using traditional tape technology results in uncertainty of loss of data, high costs, and problems like huge storage of data sets. The ideal solution over traditional tape storage is fast, high-speed, rapidly increasing optical disc technology by SONY Optical Disc Archive for long term archiving.

Data security is an important aspect of every field in technology. Users face challenges such as data hacking, data threats, hacking of highly confidential files, and many more. Cloud security uses latest technologies, techniques, and programs to secure the application that is hosted on the cloud, and the infrastructure that is associated with the cloud computing. Hence, a cloud provider is highly responsible to look after data confidentiality, data integrity, and data availability. 

CloudsBrain file storage stores data of multi-cloud that provides servers and applications access to data through shared file systems. File storage in CloudsBrain comes under the storage module.
It is a file-level or file-based storage that is a hierarchical storage methodology used to organize and store data on a computer hard drive or network-attached storage systems.

An enterprise application heavily run on multiple clouds. These multi-cloud accounts use multiple container services provided by different cloud providers such as alibaba, azure etc. To reduce time and increase productivity you can use multiple container services on a single platform. Considering Alibaba Cloud Services, Click2Cloud’s CloudsBrain cluster and registry provisioning feature involves Alibaba Kubernetes and Registry services at one place where you can manage your nodes, deployments, and other resources that containerize the application development and deployment efficiently.

Application development with the advanced cloud technologies and resources has become a cumbersome task due to complex codes, multiple languages, frameworks, discontinuous interfaces, distributed environments and architectures. The use of docker containers eases these complexities and automates your workflow by giving developers the ability to apply smart innovations with their choice of tools and application stacks for their development, speeding up the delivery of enhancements and makes the deployments quick and easy.

A virtual environment is an independent server module (Operating System + Application) that generally run-on independent servers. But with server virtualization, it is possible to run multiple virtual machines in a single (high capacity) server. In this process, each Virtual Machine considers that it is running on its own server (with dedicated resources).

It's an honour to announce Click2Cloud’s collaboration with Alibaba Cloud with the launch of Clouds Brain in Alibaba Marketplace. Clouds Brain is one more smart and multi-talented solution to meet the ever-rising demand of cloud computing services encompassing compute, storage, cloud migration, relational databases and many more.

Kubernetes is an open-source container management tool which automates container deployment, container de-scaling, and container load balancing. The benefits of it is that it works well with all cloud windows with all public, hybrid, and on-premise cloud vendors. Kubernetes has a huge community because it was first developed by Google and later donated to CNCF.

Orchestration refers to the automated management and coordination of computing application and services that result in a consolidated workflow. It eliminates repetitive tasks and supports faster deployments in different cloud infrastructures. Orchestration is important for delivering dynamically scalable smart applications and cloud resources which reduces human errors and improves productivity.

Before the integration of the Alibaba Gelato project of OpenSDS does not support the object management on the OSS service of Alibaba. This blog embellishes the integration and Click2Cloud contribution with Alibaba cloud as a back end in OpenSDS/ multi-cloud. The Gelato project of the SODA Foundation supports object operation performance, lifecycle management, and object management for different cloud vendors like AWS, GCP, Azure, IBM, Huawei, YIG, and Ceph.

The Linux Foundation endowed in 2000, which is supported by more than 1000 members is open-source software that is collaborated with the world’s leading open-source cloud providers, storage vendors, etc. Linux Foundation is an open standard, open data, and open hardware platform. Its projects are critical to the world’s infrastructure including Linux, K8’s, Node.js, and many more. SODA Foundation is an open-source project under the Linux Foundation that aims to foster an ecosystem of open-source data management and storage software for data autonomy.

Storing data at cloud not only enhances cost reduction but also improves business productivity, saves time, and provide better security of the infrastructure. But traditional enterprise storage solutions are based on proprietary hardware and controller-based storage arrays, which are expensive and rigid. It causes issues like vendor lock-in, self-governed, shortage of large amounts of data storage, hardware failure.

Most organizations have on-premise infrastructure/applications burdened with high capital expenses, complex management, scalability challenges, and hardware that needs to be replaced every 3-5 years. Maintaining existing on-prem infra results in increased operational process and drains IT budgets for organizations that are already cost, and resource-strapped.

Clouds studio is a collection of software that performs different operations related to cloud computing. Cloud studio provides an organized collection of multiple software packages that are useful for cloud computing operations. Cloud studio is a place where users will get different functions related to cloud computing operations.

A gateway is a network point that works as an access to another network. A gateway device provides communication to a remote network or an autonomous system that is out of bounds for the host network nodes. Gateways serve as the entry and exit point of a network; all data routed inward or outward must first pass through and communicate with the gateway in order to use routing paths. Cloud gateway is the gateway between the different cloud providers and the end-users who is going to use different cloud computing services.

Click2Cloud is glad to share the news about SODA formation by OpenSDS. A collaborative mini-conference on Open Data Autonomy. Click2Cloud has secured the position as one of the top supporters in OpenSDS LF under The Linux Foundation.

Click2Cloud delivers a comprehensive multi-cloud management platform CloudBrain that can provide a unified interface through which administrators and users can easily view and control a multi-cloud environment from a single interface. Click2Cloud has created its level at Cloud Computing Platform with immense productivity and high-quality assurance. Likewise, it has successfully launched its CloudBrain in Huawei Market place.

With traditional storage systems for storing a large number of static files, videos, images on an on-premise NAS user faces many problems like Hardware failure, scalability issues, Costs, Limited disk space. These stated problems can be overcome with Object Storage Service, which is a storage platform that manages and manipulates data storage as distinct units called objects. Object storage allows users to store large amounts of unstructured data in a highly scalable manner. So, whether a user has a server or application or backup requirements, the user can easily store the data in an object store using Rest APIs with the help of OSS.
