Global Capability Centres (GCCs) are not just about office space and highly trained teams. Cloud networking for GCCs has become a top priority to enable strategic advantage. Enterprises today need trustworthy access to commercial applications, integrated data management, protected collaboration tools, and scalable computing capabilities. Achieving these goals would require enterprises to invest a huge sum to build and maintain this infrastructure. However, there is a better way out in the form of a well-planned cloud environment, which will achieve this goal without blowing a hole in your pocket.

First Step In Cloud Networking for GCCs-Secure Enterprise Connectivity

The primary task of any GCC is to provide seamless connectivity between workers, third-party service providers, headquarters, and dispersed regional branches. Operations can get choked by poor connectivity, which can precipitate a break in daily operations; delayed application responses; and, worse, can make sensitive data vulnerable to cyber threats.

All the above pitfalls can be addressed by cloud networking. Cloud networking boasts features such as cloud-based security protocols, VPNs, software-defined networking, protected gateways, and virtual networks. Enterprises can effortlessly connect their office hardware with both public and private cloud networks. They also have full control over access and data movement.

One feature which is of particular importance to the banking and Financial sectors is the network segregation which separates finance systems, development environments, production workloads, and guest traffic. Additional security protocols such as encryption of both incoming and outgoing data, 24/7 monitoring, and restricted access on a need basis augment the security further. Traffic routing on a priority basis can be effected using software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) across multiple branch offices and cloud services. Thus, a GCC located in Bengaluru can use cloud applications flawlessly as workers in remote branches and improve operational efficiency.

Databytes Consulting Tech can help enterprises assess connectivity requirements, plan network infrastructure, and align cloud networking with business continuity, security, and growth objectives.

Cloud Storage, Cloud Databases and Compute Solutions for GCCs

Cloud networking is not a panacea for all bugs and can work flawlessly only when the enterprise has built the right foundation for data and applications. Cloud storage, database services, computing assets, and enterprise storage solutions are at the core of this foundation.

Cloud storage affords enterprises the ability to store documents, application software, backups and commercial operation data without the need for having local storage. Enterprises have the freedom to enable object storage for unstructured data and, at the same time, block storage for application workloads and shared enterprise access.

Cloud services also enable backup automation and data retention without human interference. This is very crucial in the event of a disaster and enables smooth recovery. Strict protocols can be enforced for data residency rules before moving sensitive information to the cloud.

This does not mean that conventional storage options have become defunct. Local data access still requires on-premises storage arrays, network-linked storage, and hybrid storage infrastructure.  GCCs are not required to move all their workloads to the cloud. The need of the hour is to chalk out a smooth blend of cloud and on-premises storage built on cost, amenability, performance, and business necessities.

Cloud Database Services

GCCs teams have to deal with client information, sensitive financial records, analytics applications, and operational databases. Cloud databases enable easily managed databases, NoSQL databases, automated backups, monitoring, and scalable database capacity.

Compute Solutions for Business Applications

Cloud platforms provide computing power for operating applications. Enterprises can use dedicated hardware and virtual machines to carry out tasks such as development, testing, analytics, and production workloads. The features are also scalable and cater to increasing demands. In the same vein, it also enables reduction of unused resources when workloads decline.

Microsoft 365 and Office 365

Enterprises can access business productivity tools such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and OneDrive. They can also access SharePoint for document management and collaboration while maintaining strict security protocols.

Zoom Meetings for Dispersed Teams

Enterprises can use this application for AV interactions, remote collaboration, and product presentations. In a nutshell, it enables seamless interactions between development teams, executives, vendors, and global stakeholders.

Google Workspace for Business Partnership

Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, and shared calendars are included in the Google Workspace package and support real-time document collaboration between distributed teams.
