Public CaaS service components
Our Public CaaS comprises: cloud servers, cloud networks, cloud files and cloud software.
Cloud Servers
Built on VMware’s vSphere Hypervisor, our cloud servers are highly configurable, secure, virtual machines that provide granular control and allow easy Customisation.
Our secure virtual machines are hosted on physical servers built on the Enterprise-class Infrastructures from Cisco, VMware, and EMC.
Our virtual machines support Microsoft Windows, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu and CentOS operating systems and can be deployed and managed either through the administrative UI or through corresponding functions of the open API.
Additional features include:
t Granular configuration of CPU, RAM and storage for each cloud server t Licensing for the underlying operating
system is included with the service, allowing automated patch updates. t Full server management capabilities
including start, shut-down, reboot, power off, restart, delete, add local storage, or change CPU/RAM
t Static private IP address assigned to all servers accessible only via VPN, and are mapped to static public IP addresses only as required
t Role-based administration control through which users can manage servers
t Cloning ability to duplicate virtual servers to create ‘customer images’ which can be used to deploy copies of a server Configuration
Cloud networks
Cloud networks are VLANs built on Cisco hardware-based networking providing network isolation, security and performance for your environment. Cloud networks can be customised with additional networking features such as firewalls; load balancing, multicast and network address translation (NAT). Additional features include the following:
t Private IP addressing for all cloud servers, with the ability for cloud servers located on separate cloud networks to communicate across this private IP space
t Client-to-site VPN access for administrators to securely manage servers on their cloud networks t Customisable ACL-based firewall rules
to control access into each network VLAN
t NAT and VIP functions to expose private IP addresses to the public Internet
t VIP functions support load balancing and port translation across multiple virtual servers, with the ability to take servers in and out of service based on client-defined monitoring probes t Multicast support for clustering
implementations
Public CaaS SLA
BSNL IDC will meet the following SLAs for its Public CaaS:
99.5% uptime availability of virtual servers within the cloud.
30-minute support response time
Our support personnel will review and update any case submitted via the Dimension Data Community within 30 minutes for emergency cases and within 120 minutes for all other cases.
Sub-millisecond latency guarantee
