CRA Business Cloud
Czech cloud ready for IT infrastructure
With technologies that we constantly work to improve, you will get a powerful, reliable, and highly available IT infrastructure run in a flexible and variable environment. You will be using the infrastructure as a service (IaaS), regulating its capacity to suit your needs, and you will only be charged for your actual usage.

Send your cloud applications to containers and into the word of microservices
The Cloud Native concept makes it possible to design modern, flexible, and scalable cloud applications that can make effective use of cloud technologies. They do not, however, make it possible to predict the actual costs of running corporate IT.
We are the first in the Czech Republic to offer our customers using cloud services a simple, gradual, and seamless transfer of their applications into a container environment while allowing cost predictability. You can set up your own container environment and get ready to run Cloud Native applications in minutes and without additional costs.

Ing. Radomír Bušo
IT manager of LUKROM systems
IT manager of LUKROM systems
When looking for a new solution, we aimed to choose the best possible comprehensive infrastructure solution to which we could transfer all of the services provided at that time on our own server infrastructure, which was reaching its limits in terms of its lifetime. Having considered every aspect of our needs, we decided to move our servers over to cloud services. We were looking for a partner for long-term cooperation to support our business.

CEO of P.V.A. Systems s.r.o.
Our company has been developing and implementing B.O.S.S. Enterprise sales, warehouse, and cash-register systems since 1996. Our commercial success in this highly competitive market is due, among other things, to the fact that we integrate and implement the latest knowledge and advanced technologies into our products. CRA’s cloud server services enhance the user functionalities of our solutions and offer the possibility of running databases on servers located away from the users’ premises, in a secure data centre with a defined level of security and availability.
Ing. Jiří Veličkov
head of the infrastructure department, TOTAL SERVICE s.r.o.
What we appreciate most about CRA is its ability to respond to changes and requests flexibly and quickly, as well as the proactive and personal approach of specific experts and admins. Cooperation with CRA has always been fair and straight.

CIO, WOOD & Company Financial Services
We have been running the IT infrastructure for our services on CRA’s public cloud for over four years,’ says Vladimír Vojtíšek, CIO of WOOD & Company. ‘CRA prepared a technically advanced solution tailored to our needs, which relieved us from the worries of infrastructure maintenance and administration, as well as scaling. As our company grew and expanded to other regions, the shared public cloud environment started to push its limits, especially in terms of the ability to optimally combine the operation of a large number of diverse applications.

ICT Director, HP TRONIC Zlín, spol. s.r.o.
Our company operates in a very dynamic and competitive environment where success is often determined by small details. Today, we consider maximum availability, stability, and reliability of information infrastructure to be a matter of course. To gain a competitive advantage, however, we need something extra, and that is what we are getting from CRA: accurately executed services which they deliver, above and beyond any contracts and SLAs, exactly when we need them.

More detailed information
CRA Business Cloud is a family of cloud infrastructure environments.
It includes a comprehensive range of cloud services and data management services such as data backup and streaming. Your data will not leave the Czech Republic.
We run our own mission-critical applications in our cloud, such as HbbTV and OTT internet TV broadcasting. The interconnection of cloud and telecom services offers room for extensive collaboration between the cloud and our customers’ systems and data. Firewall and DDoS protection shield us from cyber attacks.
With cloud, increasing or decreasing the capacity of corporate IT or adjusting the quantity and structure of IT services does not involve expensive investments or complicated installation of new hardware or software. In the cloud, it is just a simple administrative task.
From the outset, data centres for cloud services have been specifically designed and built for high performance, flexibility, and security.
The environment is optimised for IT operations and secured against fire, power outages, unauthorised access, and cyber attacks. Data in the cloud is backed up. Backups can be stored in different and remote locations for increased security (this is known as geo redundancy). Many companies cannot afford such costly operational and security measures in-house.
A solution comes in the form of short- and long-term rental of specialised physical servers.
Do you process large volumes of data on a daily basis, work with complex graphics or high-resolution videos, or need to run a specific application?
With CRA BareMetal as a Service you will have access from cloud to a dedicated part of the system and hence, get the performance you need precisely when you need it. Server rental is useful especially in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (Machine Learning), in the field of BigData or when running demanding or special applications.
We were the first in the Czech Republic to offer our clients who use cloud services a simple, gradual, and seamless transfer of their applications into a container environment. And in doing so, we are able to maintain cost predictability.
VMware Tanzu allows you to create your own Kubernetes container environment within minutes, populate it with content, and connect it to your applications that are running in our Business Cloud.
With no additional technical, technology, communication, or financial requirements, you can build and run your own Cloud Native applications instantly. Or, you can start incrementally and migrate your current application to a modern microservices environment in parts, and with zero impact on its operation.
Cloud Native is a modern approach to the design, development, and operation of software applications that takes advantage of cloud technologies and architectures, in particular containerisation. It makes it possible to create modern, flexible, and scalable applications that can make effective use of cloud technologies and architectures. It cuts down on the cost of the development and operation of applications, improving their performance and availability.
The unique Kubernetes environment for running containerised applications, managed by VMware Tanzu, is the result of our extended cooperation with our partner company VMware; CRAwas its first commercial service provider in the Czech Republic.
The cloud can be easily integrated with our other services. Our specialists will not only give you advice, they will also implement most customer solutions, including those that go beyond regular requirements.
Is an internationally recognised standard for assessing the security of information technology and products. This certification is awarded to various IT products that have passed the rigorous Common Criteria security assessment process. It provides independent review and verification of product security and makes it possible for customers and organisations to better assess how a product secures their information and data. VMware products that have received this certification provide a trusted, secure, and reliable solution for our clients’ needs.
