Questions and answers

A public cloud, such as Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon Web Services (AWS), relies on a shared infrastructure. Together with others, you use a provider's cloud services.

The Proximus public cloud is a shared infrastructure in the Proximus data centers. Data remains in Belgium.

A private cloud is the opposite of a public cloud. The hardware is located in a completely segregated cloud environment (on premises in your company) that will be used only by you.

The hybrid cloud combines the advantages of the three types of cloud.

Multi-cloud stands for the combined use of different public cloud environments.

Several factors impact the cost of both cloud and on premises infrastructure. Therefore, there is no one-size-fits-all answer as to which cloud environment is the cheapest. Much depends on the needs of the business. For some businesses, on premises is cheaper than cloud and vice versa.

If you are considering moving to the cloud to save costs, make sure you research and understand both the financial benefits and drawbacks.

There are several use cases, both in the areas of applications, operations, and data, where the use of a hybrid cloud environment can add significant value. One of the use cases is the adoption of a hybrid cloud model for companies facing peak and drops in workloads. This solution avoids the need for permanent overcapacity. The speed at which an IT infrastructure must be scaled up also plays an important role.

In a hybrid cloud model, for example, a public cloud can be used to supplement the available capacity of a private cloud. And for companies that want or need to keep some of their data and applications in-house, a hybrid cloud model is a good choice.

No two cloud migrations are the same. A cloud journey can be simple or complex, depending on various factors such as how you want your business to evolve, the complexity of your IT infrastructure, etc.

At Proximus, we believe that a worry-free cloud journey consists of a sequence of 6 phases: discover, evaluate, build, migrate, optimize, and manage. A cloud service provider such as Proximus can help companies through all or some phases depending on their needs.

The question is no longer whether the cloud is safe, but whether we use it in a safe way. When migrating to the cloud, security must be considered from the start. How this security should look, largely depends on your cloud architecture, your cloud strategy and the data and applications you use and process there. Everything starts with a risk analysis. This creates an overview of the data flows and applications present, linked to their degree of risk. This exercise forms the basis for an action list with all the controls and processes to be implemented.
