Virtual­ization

Effective IT-resource utilization

In a modern IT infrastructure virtualization of network components such as servers, storage media and even complete operation systems and application plays an important role. Virtualization describes processes in which a simulated level is added to the productive operating environment. Resources such as disks, applications, libraries and databases that are used in a company are no longer provided on an own physical server. Instead, an environment is simulated that offers more possibilities and advantages than separate isolated solutions on dedicated servers.

 

Advantages of virtualization

A main advantage of virtualization is the option of outsourcing IT-components into the cloud. There are many scenarios in which transferring data storage, computing capacity and virtualized processes to the cloud brings clear benefits for companies.

  • Optimal utilization
    The consolidation of hardware resources and the integration and virtualization of several computers into one virtual machine quickly pays off, as hardware components are optimally utilized. Unused computing capacity is reduced to a minimum, which meets the needs of an environmentally friendly green-IT-concept.

  • Reduction of purchase and operating costs
    Purchase and operating costs are clearly reduced, as fewer physical devices are needed.

  • Easy expansion of storage space
    In addition, virtual servers are much easier to expand. Whereas an IT administrator used to have to install hard disk drives in a server in order to increase storage space, today users can easily book additional storage space with the cloud provider.

  • Better control
    Furthermore, a virtual system promises better overall monitoring.Different disk systems are combined in one virtual storage medium, allowing IT departments to deploy simplified access control mechanisms. Failures are detected much faster and can be repaired in just a few steps, since hardware rarely has to be replaced.

 

Implementation of enterprise file-services and software applications

Even though the virtualization of network components is currently the center of attention in the course of digital transformation, virtualization has not only been used in the IT departments of large companies and cloud service providers for many years but has also long since reached the end user.

For example, it has long been possible to integrate virtual drives in the Windows operating system that are located on Enterprise File Services such as DRACOON.

With the help of VMware or VirtualBox whole operating system and server environments can be set up within a few minutes – for this purpose merely a preconfigured image with the operating system of your choice is integrated and is available immediately after startup.

DRACOON is a secure cloud service for your data

DRACOON is a German cloud service for companies. With the software you can securely store, manage and send all your company data. DRACOON can be operated via web browser, apps or as an integrated network drive. The solution offers you numerous advantages to ensure secure and EU-GDPR-compliant data storage. The client-side encryption prevents data from flowing off

  • Made & Hosted in Germany: DRACOON is being developed in Germany and operated in ISO27001-certified computer centers.
  • Multiple awards and certifications: Various seals such as ISO27001, EuroPriSe and BSI C5 confirm DRACOON’s highest security standards. 

  • GDPR-compliant thanks to Privacy by Default and Privacy by Design: As a German provider DRACOON is subject to the strict German security laws and supports you in implementing and complying with the EU-GDPR thanks to data protection-friendly technology design (Privacy by Design) and default settings (Privacy by Default). This enables you as a user to work automatically in compliance with data protection regulations.

  • Highest security thanks to client-side encryption: All data is already encrypted at the end device. On the server itself there is no possibility to decrypt the data because the key material is on the client. This way we ensure that neither we as a cloud provider nor third parties are able to access your stored data.

  • Protection against ransomware attacks: In case of a hacker attack, affected data can be restored at any time via the recycle bin.

  • Integrated reporting tool / audit log: The reporting tool with audit log provides information about file access. Authorized persons can trace who shared, edited, or deleted data.

  • Modern rights management: With DRACOON you can assign access rights easily and individually to internal employees as well as external parties. This ensures, for example, that certain people only have read access, while others can also edit and delete data. Thus, for example, the IT department retains organizational sovereignty, but has no read and write rights to financial or personnel data. As a result, IT administrators can also be completely denied access to certain data (such as salaries, balance sheets, etc.). DRACOON also gives you the opportunity to limit the availability of data.

  • Demand-oriented billing: The required DRACOON licenses are billed on a user basis. This allows you to adapt DRACOON to your needs at any time.
