Cloud
“The cloud” refers to servers that are accessed over the Internet, and the software and databases that run on those servers. Cloud servers are located in data centers all over the world. By using cloud computing, users and companies do not have to manage physical servers themselves or run software applications on their own machines.

- Orchestration
- Infrastructure
- Security
- Advancements in cloud, mobile, big data, and social are transforming the very foundations of how we use and access information, and communicate with each other. A new wave of cloud paradigms is evolving at an amazing velocity. Concepts like PaaS, open source, and socialized information through data sprouts are driving a new generation of business models on the back of commoditized IT infrastructure. This has resulted in unprecedented changes in the IT landscape, requiring platforms and SaaS solution offerings to evolve, both from a technology and outreach perspective.
- We work with you to select an effective cloud architecture, curate open source technologies, and develop towards an appropriate scale for optimum performance. Agile development is an ethos at HS Biz Advisory because we understand why it is the best methodology in a high velocity environment like software development. Tuning NoSQL DB, leveraging open standards or customizing JS visualization? Our tiger teams can support your project team to get things right.
- The next generation of SaaS accounts for elasticity, self-service, user-experience, security and a range of other considerations to support tiered licensing and flexible monetization.
- An attractive and usable interface is critical for supporting the adoption of new SaaS solutions. We offer top notch design services for Web, iOS and Android environments. SaaS services are responsible for ensuring the privacy and security of the data entrusted to them by customers. We bring a track record of enterprise grade security deployments to augment your SaaS solutions. Modern users want responsive designs that allow them to access the same experience from a variety of screen formats. Our experience with cutting-edge DevOps practices prepares us for scalability, performance and responsiveness.
- Cloud mobility is the de facto way of enhancing enterprise productivity in today’s interconnected age. Location-centric activities have been replaced by a highly mobile workforce that is transforming the IT infrastructure landscape. To achieve a strong competitive edge, companies must provide their customers compelling mobile experiences, and equip employees with actionable customer insights. But effective cloud mobility requires secure authorization using SSO (Single Sign On), encrypted data, in addition to high scalability and well-designed interfaces that delight users – features not every app development company can deliver. HS Biz Advisory’s mobile application development services help companies deliver security without impacting usability, and provide users a more intuitive experience across devices, fully leveraging the game-changing potential of mobility.
- Open source economies are appealing but require an experienced team to decipher the qualitative differences between libraries, languages and processes. Our experienced app development teams prepare your company for elastic scalability without compromising security. Technology is meaningless without an appreciation of the underlying domain. In-depth experience in critical areas like infrastructure, security and orchestration equip your core use cases with enterprise grade functionality. With hundreds of sprints under our belt, agile development is an ethos at HS Biz Advisory. Injecting customer feedback into the process is critical for ensuring quality in a high velocity environment like mobile application development, for companies to stay ahead of rivals.
- Effective cloud orchestration involves automated software-based discovery, monitoring, provisioning and optimization of complex IT infrastructure and IT service management processes. Software-defined-X is sweeping the technology landscape by separating the data-plane from the control-plane. This provides greater flexibility to the dynamic usage patterns of cloud resources. We’ve built industrial-grade cloud orchestrators encompassing network management, e-discovery and ITSM (IT Services Management) along with control-plane solutions to accelerate cloud management and orchestration requirements.

We’ve built industrial-grade cloud orchestrators encompassing network management, e-discovery and ITSM (IT Services Management) along with control-plane solutions to accelerate cloud management and orchestration requirements.
- In order to manage complex services, it is essential to have sufficient domain knowledge of the control plane. HS Biz Advisory is an expert in multi-tier cloud orchestration. Our cloud orchestrators automate and manage the entire lifecycle of service delivery. We develop policy based management of complex infrastructure. This requires an understanding of the ontology of the managed objects, using APIs and CLIs for configuration and monitoring, and the automated management of these objects through BPM or native scripting such as Python. Event-based automation orchestrates policy responses to correlated events and exceeded thresholds. We incorporate a deep understanding of various industry specific standards for management and control. This includes IEFT standards for networking, Wi-Fi Alliance standards for Wi-Fi, Open Daylight SDN and NVF standards, DMTF standards like CIM and profiles like SMASH, SNIA storage standards and profiles like SMI-S. We also build ecosystem connectors to 3rd party management software from vendors such as VmWare, Cisco, HP, IBM, BMC and CA.
- Technology infrastructure is undergoing a major renaissance to keep pace with the cloud revolution. While compute and storage are undergoing virtualization, networking has remained behind. With business models changing, carriers are transforming dumb pipes into intelligent services for enterprises and consumers through Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV). The DMZ line is also blurring as the proliferation of SaaS services creates new challenges to network access and data security. Finally, consumers and employees expect greater ubiquity of wireless access. We have strong ‘networking’ infrastructure such as SDN, NFV, wireless networking (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, BLE), L4-to-L7, scalable messaging, control-plane, performance engineering, monitoring and configuration. We have expertise in ‘compute’ infrastructure using OpenStack, VMWare and virtualization. We have expertise in ‘storage’ technologies defined by SNIA and SMI-S standards. HS Biz Advisory works with our clients to develop cloud infrastructure solutions that are secure, modular, extensible, and provide the resiliency that is required for around-the-clock business-critical uptime.
- The HS Biz Advisory team has strong expertise in networking - Software Defined Networking (SDN), L4 to L7 services, advanced skills in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, BLE, iBeacon, etc. and solutioning. We bring unique skills in control-path and data-path networking solutions. HS Biz Advisory has developed comprehensive Data centre focused cloud software solutions that tackle multi-vendor and multi-tier infrastructure. From datacentre capacity planning of compute, networking, storage to energy management to make workloads run efficiently, our solutions manage it all with ease.

- As technology evolves, companies struggle to keep pace with the latest cloud security trends. For a Chief Security Officer, the blurring of the enterprise perimeter has created thousands of potential holes through employee mobile devices. Complexity has multiplied exponentially as security teams struggle to simultaneously address X-aaS paradigms, cloud storage, cloud DLP, web and mobile security, cyber-security, federated identity management and other challenges. Standard cloud security solutions are not effective across all workloads due to the complexities brought in by applications using different types of databases and middleware. HS Biz Advisory has worked closely with several leading cloud security companies to build cutting-edge, fit for purpose, security solutions. From choosing the best architectural standards to develop bespoke Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB), Data Leakage Prevention (DLP), Data Encryption and Cybersecurity solutions, to implementing automated testing for security compliance standards, such as PCI and HIPAA, and audit control of sensitive information; HS Biz Advisory has done it all.
