Many businesses have been severely impacted by the pandemic. However, as the world is gradually moving toward recovery, it seems that 2022 will be a far better year for all of us, especially UMKM.

The Future of Commerce report by Shopify highlighted 2022 business trends UMKM should watch out for. The trends include focusing on online commerce and offering digital customer experience. The majority of UMKM owners in Indonesia seem to agree with the trend. According to Sandiaga Uno, by September 2021, 11 million UMKM in Indonesia have gone digital. Are you one of them?

Different Types of Cloud Services for UMKM

This massive UMKM digitalization movement has been driven by various technologies; cloud computing is one of the most important ones. With all the benefits it offers, cloud computing has been a helpful tool that makes “going digital” easier for UMKM in Indonesia.

There are different types of cloud services; each of them can support UMKM in different ways. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivers cloud-based applications over the internet. Most SaaS applications run directly through your web browser, so no downloads or installations are required. Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) delivers a framework for developers to build upon and use to build cloud-based apps. All servers, storage, and networking are provided by your service provider. Meanwhile, Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) delivers cloud computing infrastructure, including servers, network, operating systems, and storage, through virtualization technology—just like a “virtual data center”.

neuCloud, Telkom Indonesia’s cloud services provider, is ready to support UMKM in Indonesia with our IaaS capabilities. To meet your specific requirements, neuCloud offers three different products you can choose from. 

1. neuCloud dediCa

It’s a private cloud computing service suitable for larger and more established UMKM.. With this product, you get your own dedicated hardware and software without sharing them with other users. It offers you two major benefits: full control and security. 

2. neuCloud elastiCa

It’s also a private cloud computing service but, unlike dediCa, relies on shared resources. This means you are sharing the same resources (space, bandwidth, etc.) with other users. It offers you two major benefits: flexibility and affordability, and is great for smaller UMKM or those who have just started.

3. neuCloud multiCa

This product allows you to orchestrate multiple cloud services, private and public (from cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, etc.), based on your requirements and preferences. It offers you two major benefits: convenience and affordability, so it’s most suitable for rapidly growing UMKM with constantly increasing traffic.
