Virtual Machines
Khazana’s virtual machines make it possible to run an entirely different operating system, like a separate computer, in an app window on your desktop
Khazana’s VMs can run in a separate window in a completely different computing environment and even on a separate operating system on the same computer It can also function as the entire computer, without different the computer’s primary operating system
The main difference between your average computer and our virtual machine is that the components of a Virtual Machine, or VM, exist as a software code stored and run within a dedicated space on our host computer and/or a remote server. This VM is typically a file, also known as an image, since it mimics an actual computer
Configuring/Deploying a Standard Computing Experience (with applications to multiple employees)
Creating a Safe Environment for Testing (or dealing with virus infected files)
Trying Out a New Operating System (like Windows on a Linux computer)
Using Test Environments (for running beta releases)
Using Different Operating Systems (for different purposes/projects)
Running Back-Ups (for securing data)
Accessing Virus-Infected Data (or running an old application by installing an older OS)
Running Software or Apps (on operating systems they weren’t originally intended for)
Virtual Machine Scale Sets
With Khazana’s Virtual Machine Scale Sets, creating and managing a group of load-balanced VMs becomes possible
It becomes hard to handle a large number of VMs, especially with varying workloads, especially for eCommerce platforms or for functions that require processing high volumes of data while also ensuring equal process distribution across many VMs.
To be able to manage Virtual Machines (VMS), several web servers and application servers would have to be used. Managing so many separate machines can be difficult. Virtual Machine Scale Sets allow you to create and manage as many virtual machines as you want, with consistent configuration and reliable performance
Easy Creation and Deployment of Multiple VMs
Manage Multiple VMs (up to thousands)
Reliable Resiliency
Consistent Configuration

Simpler Network Administration
Dockers and Container Clusters
Containers allow for a containerized environment, letting your code to run in any environment when the software is moved to another system. With Dockers, you can virtualize several containers
When moving any software or application from one environment to another (e.g., between systems, etc.), the software may not work reliably or properly. In a similar way to how virtualization works, containers solve this issue by working with the software in a sophisticated, containerized environment which allows the code to run in any other environment.
However, when a large number of containers are involved, things might not go as smoothly, seeing that communication between containers across hosts will need to be effectively facilitated. Dockers is an open-source software platform where containers are virtualized under a standardized operating system, with all the tools to create,
deploy and manage virtualize applications.
ContainerClusters
- Feasibility, as it can be run in any OS
- Streamlined operations for
software teams - Efficient infrastructure utilization
- Scalability
- Speed, since the lack of system
images cuts down on data storage
and licensing costs
Dockers
- Easily share resources
- Cost effectiveness, since standard servers won’t be used
- Faster migration
- Easy app maintenance
- Fewer software dependencies
- Better security

IoT as Service
Khazana’s Internet of Things (IoT) consists of an ecosystem of computing devices, technology, and objects, that can transfer data over a network automatically
Khazana’s IoT SaaS services help simplify the complexity and expense of deploying IoT. This is done by offering platforms with features such as scalability, real-time data capture and machine learning. IoT devices are everywhere — from manufacturing and farming to healthcare and wearables
The transfer of data over the network does not need manual interaction with the technology. An example is a heart monitoring implant or sensors in cars to alert drivers when there’s
low tire pressure. This is down by assigning the living or non-living object with a unique IP address, designed to sense and transfer specific data over the network

Nginx as Service
Nginx is a powerful server application used for network traffic as a reverse proxy. Khazana leverages its capabilities to ensure that your network trafc is not slowed down
Most enterprise architectures use a single, reverse proxy server to handle all incoming requests. The proxy server then inspects each HTTP request and identifies which backend system, be it an Apache, Tomcat, Express or NodeJS server, that handles the request. The reverse proxy then forwards the request to that server, allows the request to be processed, obtains a response from that backend server, and then sends the response back to the client
This entire process could be slowed down if the network trafc becomes a hindrance, and Khazana’s expertise come in here, to make sure that there’s no delay or inefciency

SaaS (Software as a Service/Subscription Services) Products
More and more companies are now going for SaaS- but why? If own or run a company, your employees will be using devices, but devices don’t run without applications! You need to buy licenses for these business applications, and then configure, install, and run them into each system
Khazana provides you with SaaS applications. These are already configured, installed applications on our own infrastructure. It’s a very cost-effective option with subscription
pricing/based model- so you pay for exactly the number of licenses you are using- not more, not less. It saves time, as there’s no need for configuration and installation, which greatly increases your time to value, and you will also always get the latest versions of applications, while having the ability to easily increase or reduce the number of licenses, since it’s a subscription model
