IAAS CLOUD SERVICES ECOSYSTEM
De Novo has created a cloud ecosystem with a wide range of IaaS services to address a variety of IT related problems, taking into account the specific requirements of both government and large commercial enterprises.
The cloud ecosystem is designed to transform the client's IT infrastructure, make it more efficient, convenient and flexible. At the heart of the De Novo ecosystem is the customer's infrastructure, as the main element of the enterprise's IT system.
To transform and improve it, De Novo offers a number of cloud platforms for all needs. These are public clouds for corporate clients in Ukraine and Germany, a cloud for the public sector, a private cloud as a service, and a cloud for SAP and HANA database applications.
All clouds are combined into one large ecosystem, thanks to a large number of related services. Additional services provide fast migration, data backup and storage, construction of a backup data center, monitoring of applied landscapes, etc.

Why is the IaaS model useful?
Today, IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) is one of the most popular and in-demand models for working with cloud services. It allows companies to access virtualized computing resources, such as servers, storage networks, and other infrastructure components, via the Internet. Instead of buying and maintaining on premise equipment, organizations rent IT resources from a cloud service provider, paying only as they use them. The user can install their own operating systems and applications on cloud servers and place and process data in virtualized storage (SDS). In addition, in the operator cloud, you can not only rent individual servers in the cloud and storage systems but also deploy complex IT infrastructures.
This approach allows companies to quickly get started and scale your digital capabilities without large capital investments. Consuming cloud services as a service helps optimize IT infrastructure, increase flexibility and reliability, and reduce costs. Infrastructure as a service can also become a convenient platform for developing, testing, and deploying applications.
What does IaaS cloud infrastructure consist of?
The main components of the operator cloud, “Infrastructure as a Service”, are virtual servers and data storage systems, network components, management tools, etc. Let’s consider them in more detail.
- Virtual servers (virtual machines, VM). This is the basis of any cloud platform. It is an emulation of a physical server on which the user can install their software. You can create, scale and delete virtual servers as needed.
- Data storage. As the name suggests, this is where user data is stored. Cloud storage systems offer different types of storage, including block, object, and file. Block storage is used primarily to host operating systems and applications; object storage is ideal for large volumes of unstructured data (images, videos, backups); file storage provides access to files via network file system protocols.
- Data transmission network. Provides connectivity between various components of the cloud IT infrastructure. Includes virtual private networks, load balancers, firewalls, and other components.
- Controls. IaaS providers provide tools for managing user infrastructure, including creating and deleting VMs, monitoring performance, and access control.
Additionally, as optional services, the operator can offer containerization tools (Docker, Kubernetes), managed databases, backup services, data protection from attacks, etc.
What tasks does the IaaS cloud service solve?
Infrastructure as a Service is a powerful tool that solves a wide range of problems. It provides companies with a flexible and scalable environment for deploying and flexibly managing IT infrastructure.
The main tasks that can be solved using this type of cloud services include:
- Flexible scaling of resources. Rapid scalability of cloud computing power, storage, and network bandwidth based on current load. This is especially valuable for organizations that experience periodic spikes in load.
- Reduction of capital expenditures. Since the entire infrastructure is deployed on the operator's side, the customer does not need large capital investments in the purchase and maintenance of their own equipment (servers, storage systems, network systems).
- Flexible payment. The customer pays only for the resources actually consumed.
- Improving the fault tolerance and reliability of IT infrastructure. Redundancy and backup of key components provided by the cloud operator guarantee high availability of the service and, accordingly, user data and applications.
- Improving business agility. Cloud technologies help companies quickly adapt to market changes and new requirements.
Benefits of Renting an IaaS Cloud from De Novo
Renting cloud infrastructure from De Novo allows you to significantly optimize the operation of the customer's IT infrastructure and, as a result, improve the conditions for business development. In addition to standard advantages, such as no need for on premise data center, flexibility and dynamic scaling of IT resources, adaptation to changing needs, cost efficiency, increased fault tolerance, the operator's cloud provides a number of additional important features. Thus, the operator's IaaS cloud infrastructure meets strict national and international standards in the field of security and data protection - this is important for compliance with all sorts of regulatory requirements.
It is important to emphasize that De Novo concludes a service level agreement (SLA) with its clients, which is an additional guarantee of the quality of the services provided. According to the agreement, the operator's financial liability is up to twelve monthly payments.
The cloud operates in Ukraine, which may be an important factor for companies that need to comply with local data storage legislation (in addition, the operator has another site in Germany, which allows building IT infrastructures of various configurations). Another advantage is a personalized approach to clients, which allows the operator to offer individual solutions that take into account the specifics of a particular organization. As a result, renting cloud resources allows companies to focus on their core business, reduce IT costs, and increase the flexibility and reliability of their digital infrastructure.
