Cloud Solutions
We can help you maximise your cloud solutions and infrastructure, scaling them to meet your business’s needs.
We know that cloud computing systems can be difficult
Understanding the difference between Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) can be confusing enough!
We want to make it as easy for you as possible, which is why we have all angles covered. So, if you’re wondering whether you should opt for SaaS applications or servers on-premise, private or public cloud, or even hosted VMs with IaaS, we’re here to help. We’re experienced in delivering cloud solutions, and are on-hand to help with advice, installations, migration, support, and everything in between.
Experts in delivering cloud solutions
You’ll no doubt have already considered how the cloud can fit into your IT strategy – but it can often be difficult to know where to start. Let us help to cut a path through the jargon and implement the cloud as part of your IT strategy.
We work with all sizes of organisations, from start-ups to enterprises with offices all over the world. Whether you’re an IT team looking to outsource the management of a cloud application, or a business that needs help with implementing a migration to a cloud platform or solution, we can help.
We can provide everything from advice and ongoing support to installations and migration, to ensure you have the right infrastructure and cloud-based solutions in place, whether it’s a public, private or hybrid model.
Then you can start enjoying the many benefits, including lower costs, better efficiencies and scalability.
We’ll choose the best cloud model to suit you
Public Cloud
In Public cloud a third-party provider makes resources such as virtual machines, applications and storage available to the you over the internet. This means you won’t need to set up your own physical servers in-house saving on hardware and maintenance costs.
Public cloud uses a multi-tenant approach meaning you share computing resources with other users but your data remains separate.
You’ll only pay for what you need on a subscription basis and can scale up or down quickly to meet changing demands and workload.
We utilise main public cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS), assisting you with the full implementation and migration of your services and infrastructure with ongoing monitoring, management and support.
Private Cloud
In a Private cloud model, you have complete control of your environment which is dedicated to your own use and not shared. Infrastructure is hosted on-site or in a service provider’s data centre, allowing greater levels of control and security, with computing, storage and networking fully customisable to your business needs.
Private cloud is best suited for businesses with dynamic or unpredictable computing needs that require complete control, typically to meet regulatory compliance, security and governance needs.
We’ll design and build a dedicated cloud environment using a combination of technologies that’s right for your business. We can manage the whole process from design, delivery to ongoing monitoring and management of your environment, so you don’t have to worry about it.
Hybrid Cloud
As the name suggests the Hybrid cloud brings together a mixture of environments to suit your specific requirements depending on what’s needed for your business and where it’s best placed to optimise performance. The Hybrid model uses a combination of public and private cloud with Colocation, IaaS and existing on-premise hardware, since not all workloads are suitable for the cloud.
This is a popular choice for many organisations because they can deploy the right workload into the right environment as their computing needs change. Hybrid cloud provides greater flexibility, cost savings and more options for your IT environment whilst still maintaining control over your mission critical data.
We’ll create a custom Hybrid IT environment that meets your business specific needs providing an agile, flexible and scalable solution that aligns with your aspirations and goals. You’ll be able to make cost and efficiency gains by using the Public cloud to handle spikes in demand and the Private cloud for mission-critical workloads.
