Filling in the gaps to adopt networking through the cloud | #reInvent
As companies grow, their needs change. This is just as true in the tech world as anywhere else. Because of the current digital transformation driving business interest in cloud-based solutions, one of those needs is increased access to networked information and software applications. The cloud is a solution, but the options are many, including public, private and hybrid. A growing company must transition from one type of cloud to another, and more complex still, connect their clouds together into one network.
To gain some insight on how this process works for a company, Stu Miniman (@stu), co-host of theCUBE*, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, visited the AWS re:Invent conference in Las Vegas, NV. There, he sat down with Gaurav Jetly, senior director of cloud at Kronos Inc., and Steven Mih, CEO of Aviatrix Systems Inc.
A journey through public and private clouds
The conversation started with a description of Kronos’ own journey through the cloud. Jetly explained how the company started with its own managed cloud, then a private cloud. Then Kronos went global and had to expand. He stated that the company has started thinking about hybrid cloud models, and that Amazon Web Services plays a great role in solving its capacity issues.
Even with these transitions through the cloud, issues remain. Jetly mentioned how when a company has a private cloud, they can design what they want. In public clouds, however, niche features are missing. He felt that Aviatrix was good for filling in the gaps.
Making the cloud simple for the user
For most companies, moving to the cloud is a painful, if necessary, process. That’s changing. Mih pointed out that the cloud is made of compute, storage and networking. Compute and storage are flexible and scale, but networking could take weeks or months to change. He felt that cloud-native technology like Aviatrix is helping to make networking easier.
Jetly then mentioned how Kronos isn’t cloud-native; it is also running legacy programs. Going digital is hard for companies, but that transition needs to happen. He spoke to how public cloud needs to build a basic offering where moving to the cloud is easy.
“The transformation that’s going around the world isn’t just happening, it’s here,” Jetly said.
