The Impact of Cloud Transformation on IT Infrastructure: How Netweb is Shaping the Future of Scalable, Secure, and Flexible Cloud Solutions
CXOToday has engaged in an exclusive interview with Hirdey Vikram, CMO of Netweb Technologies.
- How does the shift towards cloud-based solutions impact the way businesses manage their IT infrastructure and network architecture?
Cloud computing has evolved into a multifaceted term, with different workloads requiring unique cloud environments to optimize performance, security, and cost-effectiveness. Specific workloads may benefit from the elasticity of public cloud services, especially when there is a need for global scalability or on-demand resources. Others, however, thrive within private cloud environments, where businesses can exert greater control over data security, compliance, and infrastructure customization. At Netweb, we recognize that companies today require flexibility and tailored solutions. Our focus is creating robust, private cloud infrastructure and hyper-converged systems that align precisely with evolving business needs.
The cloud landscape is also seeing the rise of small and medium cloud providers, bridging specific needs beyond the traditional offerings of hyperscalers. This diversification creates opportunities for businesses to select cloud providers that align closely with their strategic goals, whether that involves cost efficiency, regional compliance, customer-centric infrastructure, or industry-specific capabilities. With new cloud technologies capabilities, there is also a popular demand for workload specific – AI, HPC, etc. – cloud infrastructure which helps enterprises to deliver what they desire for their customers.
With digital transformation accelerating across industries, the IT ecosystem comprises traditional and cloud-native applications. This mixed environment demands a flexible, multi-cloud strategy to accommodate diverse application requirements and operational models. The ability to move workloads between public and private clouds has become essential, allowing companies to dynamically balance performance and cost considerations. We are committed to delivering cloud solutions supporting seamless workload migration and interoperability, empowering businesses to leverage the best of public and private clouds.
- What specific benefits can cloud technology offer in terms of scalability, agility, and cost-efficiency for organizations moving away from traditional IT tools?
Cloud technology offers distinct advantages, but the unique application requirements often determine its value. While traditional IT tools continue to play a role and have been adapted to integrate within cloud environments, the flexibility and scalability inherent in cloud solutions are transformative. Scalability in cloud computing allows businesses to expand or reduce resources on demand, meaning organizations can seamlessly adapt to fluctuating workloads without significant infrastructure adjustments. This capability is crucial for companies experiencing unpredictable growth patterns, as cloud infrastructure can scale instantaneously, keeping pace with business needs.
Agility is another critical benefit; cloud environments enable rapid resource provisioning, reducing the time it traditionally takes to set up new infrastructure. The built-in orchestration layer manages these operations, allowing IT teams to focus on strategic tasks rather than routine provisioning, resulting in faster deployments and more responsive IT operations. This agility supports innovation by empowering organizations to launch new services and experiment with minimal delay.
Cost efficiency, though complex, is another area where cloud technology shines, provided it is used with a thoughtful strategy. Usage patterns and workload types greatly influence cost-effectiveness. For example, organizations with intensive workloads often prefer private clouds for enhanced security and control. In contrast, large-scale public cloud deployments can provide value for specific use cases due to economies of scale. Hybrid approaches are increasingly common, allowing companies to choose the most efficient environment for each workload. At Netweb, we enable customers to navigate these choices with a tailored cloud approach, offering private, public, and hybrid cloud solutions to meet varied demands.
Because of the many benefits offered by cloud computing technology, the market is growing rapidly. The global computing market is expected to grow from USD 626.4 billion in 2023 to USD 1,266.4 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 15.1% during the forecast period.
- How can businesses ensure that their network and web infrastructure are optimized for cloud adoption, while maintaining security and reliability in a digital-first environment?
With today’s service offerings and various tools, migrating between on-premises and cloud environments has become straightforward, enabling continuous optimization rather than one-time changes. Cloud-native applications, particularly containerization and microservices, are inherently optimized for public and private cloud setups, allowing for dynamic scaling and efficient resource use.
To fully optimize, companies should adopt cloud-native principles, including automation, continuous integration, and orchestration, which streamline performance and resource efficiency. Robust tools like identity and access management (IAM), encryption, and automated security updates address security and reliability, ensuring compliance and data protection.
At Netweb, we empower clients to build secure, high-performance cloud infrastructures that combine flexibility with resilience. These infrastructures enable businesses to thrive in today’s digital-first landscape while balancing performance and security across multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
- In what ways can NETWEB technologies help organizations leverage the full potential of cloud computing to improve operational efficiency and foster innovation?
Netweb offers tailored solutions to help organizations harness the full power of cloud computing for enhanced operational efficiency and innovation. Our private cloud and HCI offering, which is built and sold under our Tyrone Skylus brand, offers hyper-converged capabilities i.e., combining compute, storage, and network, thereby enabling us to provide bespoke hardware and curated software stack. Our private cloud and HCI offerings comprise Private cloud, Hybrid cloud, Cloud tools, HCI, cloud native storage.

- As businesses move to cloud-based solutions, what role do network performance and web connectivity play in ensuring seamless integration and optimal cloud service delivery?
Network performance and web connectivity are critical to seamless cloud integration and service delivery. Networks have always been essential for business operations, but as companies embrace cloud solutions, the need for robust, high-speed connectivity is even greater. Reliable internal networking ensures smooth data flow within the organization, but external network infrastructure—connecting users to cloud resources—becomes a central touchpoint for service quality.
External connectivity can significantly impact performance, especially with advanced solutions like 5G. With 5G, businesses gain faster, more stable connections, reduced latency, and higher bandwidth, essential for real-time data processing and responsive cloud applications. This particularly benefits industries with latency-sensitive applications, such as financial services and media streaming, where delays impact user experience and operational efficiency.
Optimizing network infrastructure requires a tailored approach, with solutions selected based on specific use cases and organizational needs. At Netweb, we emphasize robust network solutions and cloud services designed to maximize performance, enabling companies to realize the full potential of cloud computing.
