Aruba Cloud Server is the new solution on the Aruba price list: a cloud computing service developed to build infrastructures of all levels of complexity.
The vendor offers a high quality service, based on latest generation hardware and hosted at i Italian data centers certified Standard Rating 4.
The proposed platform allows you to integrate current and future solutions quickly and effectively. Each element of the ecosystem communicates through a private network that is easily managed via the Cloud Management Platform. Thanks to these characteristics, Aruba Cloud Server represents a valid response to the growing migration needs of companies, often looking for valid architectures to move their data center from on-premise.
Aruba offers Cloud Server starting from 9.49 euros per month (excluding VAT), offering remote management API, 3 availability zones, VPC Network and Security Group support and a package with transparent and predictable costs.
This service is in the same market segment as VMware Cloud Server and Hyper-V Cloud Server solutions. However, Aruba’s offering, based on open source architectures, stands out for its significantly more advantageous prices and the numerous features offered, as well as the good granularity of the possible configurations.
The solution is complete and allows the creation of tailor-made virtual infrastructures, easily customizable for every potential operational scenario. The availability of unlimited traffic, the competitiveness of the tariffs and the scalability of the service allow optimized management, according to the needs of businesses.
Effective management and monitoring
Every aspect of maintenance and control passes through the tools made available, starting from Aruba Cloud Management Platformwhich includes tools to manage every aspect of the virtual infrastructure, the administration of access rules to virtual servers and the methods of communications on a private network between servers and other Aruba Cloud services (the same platform is used for numerous other services already released , as an example Aruba Managed Kubernetesand also represents the control center for future services that will arrive over time).
Not only that, the control interface allows the rapid scaling of cloud servers, a detail that allows you to contain operating costs and scale the infrastructure in use at any time.
The virtual servers associated with this service can then be directly connected to the infrastructure Block Storage di Aruba, to extend the possibilities of data storage and management without stringent constraints. Security and observability are in first place: companies can simply and effectively manage access rules to virtual servers, but also analyze logs of operations carried out and have usage metrics under control.
Thanks to all these distinctive features it is possible to enable rapid migration from on-prem or hyperscaler infrastructures, directly on Aruba Cloud.
Companies can also build web hosting platforms, as well as test and production environments, but also ad hoc apps and tools that can satisfy the specific working methods of each business reality. (such as VDI architectures, ERP platforms or remote applications).
Italian data centers and data sovereignty
The solution in question is hosted in Aruba’s Italian data centers. This is no small matter: in times of collaboration and remote sharing of workflows, it is good to be able to rely on service providers who can protect and guarantee total data privacy, promoting data sovereignty.
What is today defined as “data sovereignty” refers to aspects of data management, protection, access and availability. This is a complex topic, which affects numerous technical-regulatory elements and the way in which the information circulating on the Web is treated.
The cloud today represents a business enabler and its diffusion knows no limits: the pervasive adoption of the cloud has highlighted, over the years, the theme of “data sovereignty”.
This type of service allows companies to benefit from various platforms and highly secure remote repositories. At the same time, however, the adoption of the cloud has generated high volumes of data exchange between countries and regions of the world. To ensure consistent management of information, these flows are often blocked or permitted, depending on whether a given country offers similar levels of data protection and complies with certain protection codes.
Personally identifiable information is certainly among those most subject to laws and structures governance defined by the country in which they are acquired.
Among service providers, Aruba offers solid solutions to protect data and guarantee full data compliance regulations for businesses.
The Aruba Cloud is in fact based on infrastructures that allow you to maintain full control of the data stored and in transit. Structured processes guarantee secure and unambiguous access to the data owner.
Aruba does not carry out any type of data trading with third parties and does not use them for its own purposes or those of others.
Not only that, the company actively promotes solutions for a cloud compliant with the highest standards, to protect privacy. Aruba is among the European cloud infrastructure providers to have declared adherence to the CISPE Code of Conduct for data protection. He is a founding member of the project European Data Infrastructure GAIA-Xdeveloped to support a European standard for data management and access based on security and respect for privacy.
Aruba adopts an Information Security Management System (ISMS), an additional element that allows you to certify the use of safe processes and applications. Control in terms of confidentiality, integrity and authenticity allows us to minimize possible data loss and tampering with information due to external threats.
To all this, the company combines an assistance service with operators who respond from Italy and a large archive of useful materials for the use and configuration of the services (knowledge base, guides, tips and video tutorials).
