Hybrid Cloud Processes: Implementation & Management

We are back this week with the next part of our LightEdge Hybrid Solution Center blog series. Our solutions are only as good as the processes in place that support them. That’s why we are diving into the processes behind our Hybrid Solution Centers this week.  As we’ve seen recently, lack of rigorous process can be a major weak link. As an enterprise cloud solutions provider, customers value our strict commitment to audited processes. The Hybrid Solution Centers processes begins with the design and build of customer-specific solutions. LightEdge professionals then help customers properly architect and integrate all vital components to match their specific business needs.

Hybrid Cloud Implementation

Once the solution meets specific and unique customer requirements, the process moves into the implementation phase. LightEdge experts help customers move swiftly through the learning and implementation process of hybrid cloud. In doing so, LightEdge follows audited and controlled processes to ensure every operational action is documented and adhered to. Thereby minimizing the potential for human error.
LightEdge is continuously working on staying up-to-date on the most vital compliance regulations in our industry. We work directly with customers throughout their audits by providing evidence to demonstrate compliance. The regulations LightEdge complies with include:

• ISO 20000-1
• ISO 27001
• SSAE 16
  • SOC 1 Type 2
  • SOC 2 Type 2
  • SOC 3
• PCI-DSS3.2
• HIPAA

Hybrid Cloud and Colocation Management

Once implemented, LightEdge often continues to manage customer’s colocation and cloud environments on behalf of the customer. Successfully managing existing applications and their specific performance, security, compliance, storage, latency, and compute requirements is a significant effort. It requires long-standing knowledge and experience.
As time goes on, the LightEdge team can monitor and maintain components of the hybrid cloud. We ensure continued security, redundancy, and compliance throughout. LightEdge is audited against the top industry standards to the level that compliance risk can be assumed by LightEdge on behalf of our customers.
LightEdge has strong partnerships with some of the largest national and global corporations to ensure top expertise in applications, data, compute, security, and network products. Want to learn more?
