NetSuite's Cloud Solution: Mitigating On-Premise IT Risk

Written by Craig Cook | Apr 12, 2023 5:17:59 PM

On-premise IT infrastructure has been the traditional method for companies to store and manage their data. However, there are various risks associated with this approach.

Natural disasters, equipment failure, cyber-attacks, power interruption, and other factors can cause data loss and downtime, leading to severe consequences for businesses.

NetSuite's cloud solution provides an alternative approach that can mitigate these risks and ensure the continuity and security of data.

Natural Disasters and Power Interruptions

On-premise IT infrastructure is vulnerable to natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods. These events can cause significant damage to hardware and data, leading to painful downtime and loss of data. As non-disaster related power outages increase in frequency due to aging infrastructure, generation loss and changes in use patterns, on-premise IT infrastructure is increasingly at the risk of random or rolling blackouts.

NetSuite's cloud solution ensures data is stored in multiple geographically diverse data centers, providing redundancy and continuity in case of natural disasters and power outages. All Oracle data centers are equipped with backup generators and other emergency equipment, ensuring your data is always available, even during regional power outages or emergencies.

Equipment Failure

Hardware and software components of on-premise IT infrastructure can fail due to various reasons such as wear and tear, age, and poor maintenance. These failures can cause significant downtime and data loss, leading to business disruptions.

NetSuite's cloud solution provides a more reliable approach to data storage and management. The data centers are equipped with the latest hardware and software, ensuring that the data is always available and secure. Oracle data centers are actively monitored and maintained to the highest industry standards.

Cyber-attacks

On-premise IT infrastructure is vulnerable to cyber-attacks such as malware, viruses, and hacking attempts. These attacks can cause data breaches, data loss, and other security risks.

NetSuite's cloud solution provides a more secure approach to data storage and management. The data centers are equipped with the latest security technologies, including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and encryption, ensuring that the data is always secure and protected from cyber-attacks.

It's also important to note that Oracle data centers monitored 24/7 by a team of experts, providing continuous security and protection. Additionally, NetSuite employs redundant systems, guaranteeing 99.7% uptime as outlined in their Service Level Agreement (SLA).

Human Error

Human errors such as accidental deletion of data, misconfiguration of hardware, and mishandling of equipment can also put on-premise IT infrastructure at risk.

NetSuite's cloud solution provides a more reliable approach to data storage and management. The data is backed up regularly, ensuring that the data is always available in case of human errors or other issues. The data is also encrypted, ensuring that it is secure and protected from unauthorized access. NetSuite's audit trail capabilities ensure employee accountability and role based controls limit access to an individual users' required functionality.

In conclusion, NetSuite's cloud solution provides a more secure, reliable, and resilient approach to data storage and management. It mitigates the risks associated with on-premise IT infrastructure, ensuring the continuity and security of data.

The data centers are equipped with the latest hardware and software, security technologies, and backup systems, ensuring that the data is always available, secure, and protected. Companies can focus on their core business activities, knowing that their data is safe and secure in NetSuite's cloud solution.
