Cloud Computing

Cloud Technologies

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to systems design. Part of our value is in understanding the needs of your business today and in the future, and designing and implementing a solution to meet your objectives.
Our solutions deliberately feature a mix of technology and functionality. We strongly believe that it’s not the individual products that make an infrastructure exceptional; it’s the integration between them that breeds ground-breaking results.
This is why we are focused on developing relationships between different technologies to produce outstanding solutions for our customers. Technologies can include hosted exchange, hosted servers, hosted antivirus and security, web filtering, and hosted backup and disaster recovery. We also provide a suite of Microsoft products such as Office 365, Intune and Lync.

Software as a Service (SaaS)

Our SaaS services are comprised of products from our ‘on-demand software’ range. These are typically used by businesses operating a thin client via a web browser, making them a very business-mobile solution. Since no two companies are the same, we offer a suite of SaaS solutions for you to select from.
Microsoft Office 365 is a first-class SaaS solution to help your users work together in a smarter, more efficient manner. It offers secure, anywhere-access to professional email, company-wide shared calendars, instant messaging, document collaboration, desktop sharing and video conferencing. It’s a simple solution to improve inbound and outbound business communication, enrich the consumer experience, and enable a more mobile workforce.

Microsoft Lync, or Skype for Business, is an enterprise class telephony solution for businesses. In effect, this hosted cloud-based solution can entirely replace a business’ PBX system.

Desktop as a Service (DaaS)

Our DaaS services enable businesses to realise the full potential and benefits associated with virtual desktop environments, or Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). They offer you the ability to connect to your own internal network, safely behind a firewall, in what feels to be like your own original infrastructure.
These characteristically reduce deployment complexity, improve management and security, increase compliance and can yield superior end-user productivity.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

For businesses who need scalability, IaaS services, or Virtual DataCentres (VDC), enable you to roll-out on-demand hosting, as well as allowing you to increase storage and computing as required. In effect, you are creating your own private cloud.
Access to IaaS is from a secure portal and is designed for you to manage your business at the touch of a button. You are guaranteed high-bandwidth, reliable connectivity, and ongoing management and support.

Cloud Implementation Workshops

Having the right technology is one aspect of a successful transition to the cloud. Just as important is ensuring that the implementation and setup supports the way you want to work from day one. Only by tailoring the tech to your specific needs can you enjoy the benefits of smarter, more mobile working.
If your business is considering a switch to the Cloud, our workshops can help guide you on your way. We create a realistic roadmap to highlight the benefits of the technology, as they apply to your workplace, and ensure that the systems work as you need them to.
Our workshops are designed to address the fundamental areas of your cloud transition. Do you have sufficient network capabilities? Is your business ready to transition all or only a portion of your severs onto the Cloud? If any, what are your security concerns? Organisationally, are you ready for the change?
Speak to our Cloud Consultants who can help you determine your Cloud readiness and transition needs.

Our Support Process / Business Continuity

Beyond simply providing the infrastructure, we pride ourselves on offering full-service integration training and ongoing business support to ensure you get the most from your Cloud Computing solutions. We are abreast of changes in the industry that may affect your Cloud solutions and the soundness of your technological infrastructure, and can advise you on the best course of action your business should take.
Business Continuity Planning (BCP), for instance, is an integral component of our disaster recovery offerings. In the event of an unplanned disaster, such as flood or fire, a hosted cloud solution provides much greater resilience as automatic failover. Call routing, for instance, can carry on seamlessly, regardless of the location of your customer or colleague. So, by taking communication to the cloud you effectively eliminate any one ‘single point of failure’ — helping your business to continue to stay in business, despite any significant disaster that might befall it.
