Overview
Why CKSS
What We Offer

CKSS cloud transformation services are designed to make it easy for organizations to implement opportunities that align with business strategies and mission. We provide services and solution for highly regulated organizations to be secure, optimized and compliant throughout their cloud journey.

Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of compute power, database storage, applications, and other IT resources through a cloud services platform via the Internet with pay-as-you-go pricing. Cloud has enabled organizations to be more competitive, faster and innovative. Cloud will continue to be a source for innovation and growth for the next few years to come.

With cloud computing, you don’t need to make large upfront investments in hardware and spend a lot of time on the heavy lifting of managing that hardware. Instead, you can provision exactly the right type and size of computing resources you need to power your newest bright idea or operate your IT department. You can access as many resources as you need, almost instantly, and only pay for what you use.

Cloud providers have adopted a shared responsibility model. Cloud providers manage security OF the cloud, you are responsible for security IN the cloud. This means that you retain control of the security you choose to implement to protect your own content, platform, applications, systems, and networks no differently than you would in an on-site data center.
CKSS has built its Cloud Practice to not only address the requirements in the shared responsibility model but to augment the security capabilities provided by cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and Google). We work with companies on their cloud journey, i.e. from cloud strategy, assessment/roadmap; cloud transformation/migration; and cloud operation/optimization.

Highlights include:
Business Value Strategy
Determine how technology can be transformed to support company strategies and mission so that companies are able to stay competitive and thrive in today’s digital changing landscape. The C-suite must keep the core business running while simultaneously identifying and investing in the new. The cloud provides the following key benefits:
- Cost Savings: Instead of spending money on data centers and servers before you know how you’re going to use them, you can pay only when you consume computing resources, and pay only for how much you consume.
- Enjoy economies of scale: Companies can achieve a lower variable cost rather than purchasing low end appliances and servers. Usage from hundreds of thousands of customers is aggregated in the cloud, thus companies can achieve economies of scale, which translates into lower pay as-you-go prices.
- Eliminate data center costs: Focus on projects that differentiate your business, not the infrastructure. Cloud computing lets you focus on your own customers, rather than on the heavy lifting of racking, stacking, and powering servers.
- Be capital-expenditure free: Instead of having to invest heavily in data centers and servers before you know how you’re going to use them, you can pay only when you consume computing resources, and pay only for how much you consume
Security Resilience Strategy
Define an organization’s risk tolerance to various threats and capability to survive data breaches, disruptions, and reputation. Organizations need to understand the cloud shared responsibility model as it pertains to the three types of cloud models. Each type of cloud service and deployment method provides different levels of control, flexibility, and management. Understanding the differences between Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Software as a Service, is critical to establishing what services to utilize.
