How can migration to the cloud help to strengthen your company’s security and mobility?
Corporate mobility encompasses a very wide approach. It refers to the employees’ capability to work and access company resources from a wide range of geographic locations, outside the traditional office setting.

This includes access to the company’s applications, data and services, plus the use of mobile equipment such as smartphones, tablets and laptops. The stakes revolving around corporate mobility are significant and have brought about new high performance technology. Stéphane Caprace, Pre-Sales Manager Infrastructure Solutions at NSI, talks about corporate mobility. This trend, embraced increasingly often by companies, specifically consists of fully exploiting everything that Cloud technology has to offer to ensure completely secure access to data. To do this, there is a large range of “as a Service” solutions. |
Corporate mobility: what are the advantages?
The top advantages for organisations that opt for corporate mobility are improved productivity and cost reductions. However, to make the most of these benefits, companies must implement a clear policy for use (governance) combined with a security management plan. This will thereby guarantee high levels of protection and command.Should we migrate to the Cloud using "as a Service" solutions?
To answer this question, it is imperative to get the very best use of the Cloud technology. Two nonexclusive possibilities: either "as a Service" solutions (XaaS), or co-management solutions offered by NSI.XaaS: Anything as a Service
With XaaS, anything can then be consumed and purchased as a service: infrastructure, application, platform, backup… Although as a user, you have access to a very wide range of products, tools and technologies in "As a Service” mode.
XaaS is based on the flexible consumption model (‘Pay as you go’) like purchasing licences. This is therefore a ‘ready-to-use’ service shared on a platform and that can be run by an IT partner. This solution is actually very easy to use and with a bunch of solutions to pick and choose from.
Co-management solutions by NSI
With an IT system builder like NSI, it is also possible to create the best-case solution depending on your needs. Using the cloud effectively opens the doors to a whole series of solutions, sometimes difficult to integrate together considering their great number and their specific aspects.
This explains why co-management services, particularly those offered by NSI, would help your business. As a user, you would no longer have to be in charge of managing the platform, the infrastructure, applications, backup, etc. We take care of everything for a customised configuration according to your needs and demands.
Amazon Web Services (AWS): The most comprehensive cloud platform
AWS is the most flexible cloud with the best distribution over the entire planet. Many IT companies develop compatible ready-to-use solutions which are available via Amazon Market Place. Furthermore, the security level is high with well-known operational expertise.
It is important to note that the choice of a cloud platform and its safety and security depend on each company’s specific needs, sometimes requiring new expertise. This makes support from a system builder like NSI a real plus!
The benefits of the AWS Cloud
- Cost reduction: You purchase services based on subscriptions. You only pay for what you use.
- Greater flexibility: You adapt easier to changes in the market and users. You can then add or remove services according to the needs expressed by your company and your employees.
- Personalised services: You benefit from a personalised point of contact with good knowledge of your environment plus your organisation, and how it works.
- Strengthened and centralised security: You have a set of integrable and flexible solutions to meet current security challenges appropriately.
