The Pico Cloud Approach
Pico’s approach to the cloud is to bring the controls, capabilities, and security posture that our clients have come to expect to cloud environments which, for many financial markets firms, have presented a challenge. With Pico, you get the following value-adds.
Managed Connectivity
Pico can deploy dedicated client connectivity from your on-prem network to your chosen public cloud(s). This includes 1. Direct Connect, 2. Pico Connect, 3. Internet VPN. Connectivity is secured between on-premise and cloud environments using Pico’s redundant DMZs.
Perimeter Security As Standard
Pico can secure the perimeter of your cloud networks using cloud-hosted firewall appliances, IDS, IPS and monitoring solutions. By leveraging the same tech used for on-prem security, Pico transparently extends its operations scope to your cloud resources, providing the same service levels in the cloud as you enjoy in bare metal environments.
Cloud based vDMZ
Pico can operate virtual DMZs in public clouds that allows controlled exposure of cloud-hosted services to the internet. The approach used here is entirely analogous to Pico’s best-in-class on-prem DMZ design and so gives clients the assurances they need when exposing applications to the internet.
Corvil Monitoring & Alerting
Pico’s Corvil Analytics is transparently extended into public cloud environments to ensure our clients enjoy the same level of visibility and transparency for their private and public cloud infrastructure as they do for on-premise infrastructure. Furthermore, for elastic and ephemeral workloads, Pico employs cloud-native monitoring and support infrastructure that is cloud workload aware.
