Digital Solutions MENA

Propel your infrastructure to the cloud

Q: How much does cloud really cost vs on-premise physical server?

Real comparison Algerian SME (10 employees, website + CRM): On-premise physical server = 500,000 DA server purchase + 80,000 DA/year maintenance + electricity/cooling + physical space + manual backup + failure risk = ~700,000 DA/year. Cloud VPS Business = 100,000 DA/month x 12 = 1,200,000 DA/year BUT: zero upfront investment, automated backup, 99.9% uptime, instant scalability, enhanced security, auto updates. Positive cloud ROI if: expected growth, scalability need, no dedicated IT team. For stable predictable workloads, physical server can be cheaper long term.

Q: Will my data be safe in the cloud?

YES, cloud is MORE secure than SME on-premise server: 1) ISO 27001, SOC 2, Tier III certified datacenters (power redundancy, cooling, 24/7 physical security), 2) Data encryption at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3), 3) Next-gen firewall, IDS/IPS, DDoS protection, 4) Automated multi-region backups, 5) 24/7 security teams (vs SME often without security expert). For data sovereignty: we offer local Algeria hosting OR Europe cloud (AWS Frankfurt, Azure France) - data NEVER goes to USA. GDPR compliance guaranteed.

Q: What happens if the cloud provider goes down?

Very low probability: AWS/Azure/GCP have 99.99% uptime SLA (= 52 minutes downtime/year max). Our high availability architecture: 1) Multi-AZ (availability zones): your servers spread across 2-3 different datacenters, if 1 datacenter goes down, others take over automatically (failover < 30s), 2) Load balancer distributes traffic, detects failed servers, 3) Auto-scaling adds servers if load increases, 4) Daily multi-region backups (if entire region goes down, we restore elsewhere). History: major cloud outages ~1-2x/year, duration 2-4h. With our HA architecture, your services stay up even if 1 datacenter goes down.

Q: Can I migrate my current infrastructure to cloud without interruption?

YES, zero downtime migration is our standard: 1) Preparation phase: we clone your current infrastructure to cloud (VM, databases, files), complete testing in parallel, 2) Sync phase: we sync data in real-time (rsync, database replication) between old and new, 3) Cutover phase: we change DNS progressively (10% traffic → cloud, if OK → 50%, then 100%), instant rollback if problem, 4) Old system stays active until full validation. Duration: 2-4 weeks depending on complexity. Real example: e-commerce site 50K visitors/day migrated to AWS without any interruption, DNS cutover on Sunday 2am (low traffic), zero customer complaints.

Q: How to optimize my cloud costs to avoid budget explosion?

10 cloud cost reduction techniques -30 to -50%: 1) Right-sizing: 80% companies over-provision instances (+40% unnecessary costs), we analyze real usage and reduce, 2) Reserved Instances: 1-3 year commitment = -40 to -60% vs on-demand, 3) Spot Instances: -70 to -90% for non-critical workloads (dev/test/batch), 4) Auto-scaling: shut down dev/staging servers at night/weekends (-60% costs these environments), 5) Storage tiering: old data to cold storage (S3 Glacier) -80%, 6) Delete orphaned resources: unused snapshots/volumes/IPs, 7) CDN: reduce server bandwidth, 8) Compression & cache, 9) Database right-sizing, 10) Budget alert monitoring. We do free current cloud cost audit + optimization report.

Q: What's the difference between VPS, dedicated server, and cloud (AWS/Azure)?

VPS (Virtual Private Server) = 1 physical server shared among 10-20 clients, you get 1 isolated VM. Pros: cheap (15-30K DA/month), simple. Cons: shared resources (if neighbor consumes a lot, you slow down), not very scalable. Ideal: SME website, blog. Dedicated server = 1 physical server 100% for you alone. Pros: max performance, guaranteed resources. Cons: expensive (150K+ DA/month), not scalable (need to order new server), single point of failure. Ideal: high-performance app, stable needs. Cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) = elastic infrastructure: you create/delete servers in 2 min, automatic scaling, multi-datacenter high availability, 100+ managed services (database, cache, queue, ML...). Pros: infinite scalability, high availability, innovation. Cons: variable costs, complexity. Ideal: SaaS, growing e-commerce, modern apps.
