As enterprises increasingly adopt cloud-based infrastructure, they need to ensure that they are resilient and robust enough to meet current and future demands. This resilience is required in areas such as network robustness, the ability to handle varying levels of demand, meet an ever-increasing expectation of user experience, cope with outage quickly and seamlessly, not to mention defending organisations from the increasing complexity of cyberattacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To meet these wide-ranging demands and provide a high level of resilience, many enterprises are looking towards using public cloud hyperscalers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Cloud Hyperscalers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having any level of cloud-based infrastructure for your enterprise will more than likely mean that you will already be working with a hyperscaler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essentially, hyperscalers provide cloud, networking, and internet services at scale, by offering enterprises access to infrastructure, via an IaaS model. A list of hyperscalers in the market today will include companies such as Amazon<\/a>, Google<\/a>, Microsoft<\/a> etc. They dominate cloud services and are continuing to grow, as the demand for their services increases exponentially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These powerful hyperscalers offer services through huge data centres that accommodate fluctuating and high demand. Indeed, their infrastructure is built on thousands of physical servers and millions of virtual machines. The end result, and advantage to their customers, is data centre resources that are easily accessible, cost effective, reliable, and scalable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s more, today\u2019s hyperscalers provide a level of performance way above traditional inhouse data centres. They also have a very clear view on the future, investing huge amounts of money, offering a level of reassurance to their customers beyond the dreams of an enterprises IT department. Microsoft alone have recently announced their investment of nearly $20bn, to build the infrastructure necessary to support its Azure cloud service. This should not only reassure Azure customers, but those of competing hyperscalers, as they are sure to be working on their own future proof projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With minimal level of commitment, many of today\u2019s largest enterprises are already customers of all of the hyperscalers, allowing them to pick and choose services that best fit their business and, at the same time, avoid vendor lock-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovative Hyperscalers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hyperscaler companies are working hard to offer their customers more reasons why cloud is the route to take. Some of the latest services offered demonstrate this and allow enterprises the opportunity to become agile and resilient without huge investment. Innovations of late include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
