Cloud Solutions: Scalable Infrastructure for Modern Applications

Cloud computing has revolutionized how we build, deploy, and scale applications. At Rukmani Software, we help businesses leverage cloud infrastructure to achieve scalability, reliability, and cost-efficiency. Whether you're migrating to the cloud or building cloud-native applications, we provide comprehensive solutions.

Why Cloud Solutions?

Moving to the cloud offers numerous advantages over traditional on-premises infrastructure. Cloud platforms provide flexibility, scalability, and cost savings that enable businesses to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure management.

Cloud Service Models

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Fundamental computing resources on-demand:

• Virtual Machines: Scalable compute instances
• Storage: Block, object, and file storage
• Networking: Virtual networks, load balancers, VPNs
• Full Control: Manage OS, middleware, and applications
• Examples: AWS EC2, Azure Virtual Machines, Google Compute Engine

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Complete development and deployment environment:

• Managed Runtime: No server management required
• Development Tools: Built-in CI/CD pipelines
• Database Services: Managed databases and caching
• Auto-Scaling: Automatic resource adjustment
• Examples: AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Azure App Service, Google App Engine

Software as a Service (SaaS)

Ready-to-use applications delivered over the internet:

• No Installation: Access via web browser
• Automatic Updates: Always latest version
• Subscription-Based: Pay-as-you-go pricing
• Multi-Tenant: Shared infrastructure
• Examples: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce
