Public Cloud
We find the best Cloud setup for you and migrate and operate your infrastructure and applications in the Cloud.
In addition to our Swiss Sovereign Cloud, ELCA Cloud Services provides services for several Public Clouds. Our offerings range from enablement over managed services to optimization. This also allows a smooth integration with our modern Workplace services.
Cloud computing is characterized by on-demand provisioning of server-side services, access through the internet or dedicated networks, sharing of resources by multiple tenants, fast and nearly unlimited scalability, as well as pay-per-use operational expenditures.
Thereby, Public Clouds provide a large variety of services:
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Virtual machines, storage, network, etc.
- Platform as a Service (PaaS): Containers, databases, messaging, serverless functions, data analytics, IoT, AI, etc.
- Software as a Service (SaaS): Running of applications.
Such services are offered to the general public by various Cloud providers, local, regional, and worldwide ones (called hyperscalers).
