How to Identify ‘True Cloud’

By Jody Russell, Sales Engineer – Eagle Eye Networks

Cloud technology is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models. These five characteristics are necessary to build a modern cloud computing system. Are you missing one? You may not have True Cloud.

1.) On-Demand Self-Service

On-Demand Self-Service refers to the ability to access and control your applications and infrastructure resources, such as server time and network storage, as needed without requiring human interaction with each service provider.

Through automated technologies and our simple user interface, Eagle Eye Networks users simply log in to their account to make the changes they need. There are no hoops to jump through in order to modify an account.

You are in control of your service.

2.) Broad Network Access

Eagle Eye Users can access their account at any time, anywhere in the world from mobile phones, tablets or laptops. Through our globally distributed, privately owned cloud infrastructure we provide access to the full feature set and functionality of your system without compromising your network security.

Using AES Encryption, strong access control rules, and user-defined permissions, The Eagle Eye Cloud VMS puts you in command wherever you are without compromise.

3.) Elasticity and Scalability

Cloud service resources can be rapidly and elastically adjusted, in some cases automatically, to quickly increase or decrease resources such as storage, processing, memory and network bandwidth.

In traditional, “on-premise” platforms, resources are exhausted as demand increases. This creates a physical “ceiling” at which the system’s ability to scale reaches maximum limits. With the elasticity and scalability of the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS, users no longer need to be concerned with investing in hardware for what their system needs to be tomorrow. They only use the resources they need now and can grow on demand without the heavy costs of upgrading infrastructure and maintaining load balances across aging hardware.

4.) Multi-Tenancy and Resource Pooling

Eagle Eye Networks designed the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS to leverage multi-tenancy and resource pooling in order to provide lower-cost computing resources and data storage.

Our REST API is purpose-built to serve consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to customer demand. Resource pooling eliminates the pressure for businesses to keep pace with emerging technologies and computationally heavy processes like machine learning and A.I.

The Eagle Eye Networks private cloud allows users to join a community of like-minded, forward-thinking businesses that see the value in shared resources and multi-tenancy.

5.) Measured Service

Delivery of cloud services is such that usage can be monitored, controlled, reported and billed. This is an important feature needed to optimize and validate the delivered cloud service. The purpose is to assure that customers only pay for the resources that they use.

The Eagle Eye Cloud VMS gives you real-time awareness of how your system investments are utilized through measured service. This means you only pay for what you need, and you determine how long you pay for it. Each camera is billed independently, providing customized value engineering opportunities to make your system fit into whatever budget you allow.

Eagle Eye Networks has built the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS with these five characteristics at the front of every design, decision and feature. This core adherence to true cloud has made us the #1 Cloud Video Surveillance provider worldwide.
