Outsourcing your servers to NVable data centre management won’t just increase availability. Affordable security is in reach too.
There’s an increasing buzz around cloud (off-site) computing, but not a lot of information about the business benefits – just a lot of technical jargon for the enthusiasts.
So, here’s the scoop. It can better secure your data than most on-site systems. And it can usually do it more cheaply. That’s important these days.
The cost to protect your data to the same degree as a data centre is prohibitive. Off-site backups, physical security, 24-hour surveillance, fire protection, connection and server redundancy. These are all key features of a data centre or cloud service, but generally are not an option for the server cupboards of small and medium sized companies.
There are productivity benefits too. You don’t wait six months before you can afford a new server.
Flexibility is the key to our hosting approach. Don’t be pushed into a service that ties your hands. Let us help you choose. And each step of the way we will take into account your existing infrastructure.
If you are like the rest of us, you care about managing your cash. So, having servers that can grow and shrink elastically allows you to take a completely different commercial approach. Why pay to lease a server for three months if you only need it for a week? But if you need more computing power, it can be switched on in a matter of minutes.
Defence in depth
The key to confidence in security is “defence in depth”. That means protecting each layer of your systems. The first line of defence is protecting the perimeter, so unauthorised people aren’t allowed on your private network. Combine that with Windows, Linux, and Cisco security (we do those too) and you have pretty resilient protection. Then deploy continual bug patching and intrusion detection, just in case.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a small single-site company or you’ve set up offices across multiple continents. We’ve managed infrastructure for both. Why not let us help you build a more secure flexible future?
