Managed Cloud services

We manage your Cloud transition

In our connected digital world, your employees possess mobile devices sometimes more powerful than your business does. They use laptops, smart phones and smart wearables for their everyday social and personal activities. Moreover, they expect to be able to use them both for pleasure and work!

This means you must offer them 24×7 secure access wherever they are, whatever device they use to your business applications. This requires huge and unnecessary capital investments to build resilient, secure and super-fast data centers. This is the foundation of your IT infrastructure. Where your IT services and business applications will “live and flourish” or “starve and die”.

Data Centre environments require appropriate physical security, building and infrastructure accreditations. They demand resilient power supplies essential to avoid power outages along with sizeable backup generators to ensure “lights-on” continuity. They require appropriate and resilient cooling systems because your IT equipment will produce heat 24×7.

Employees on Managed Cloud

A number of powerful, fresh servers and networking devices, both with built-in redundancy and in redundant architecture, are vital in order to provide high-availability, which is essential to meet the continuous operation objective. In addition, you must install fast communication lines so that your mobile users can connect from anywhere. Last but not least, they need a number of professionals and special tools, to monitor, remediate and keep everything running 24×7.

By moving your critical IT services to the Cloud, will dramatically save on all these capital expenditures.

But this move may not always be as simple as that. A number of issues need to be addressed:

Security

Physical security is guaranteed by the Cloud provider, but what about virtual machine, data and application security?

Choice & Compatiblity

Which applications you will move to the Cloud? Are they compatible with a virtual platform?

Manageability

What about operation & maintenance (changes, additions, checkup) of all above after provisioning?

Existing infrastructure

What changes you will need to make in your existing architecture to accommodate a Cloud solution?

With our Managed Cloud offering you do not need to bother at all !

We work closely together with you as partners, in order to understand your business, your applications and your current ICT infrastructure.

This enables us to propose the most suitable alternative solutions.

The internationally acclaimed Data Centers (Microsoft, OVH) we work with will ascertain physical security and hardened operating systems.

Managed Cloud offering

Above all, we redesign your existing IT infrastructure in order to incorporate the Cloud solution of choice. We don’t just resell the services of a Cloud provider. On top of those, we design and implement perimeter and application security for your system, we perform regular “health-checks” and report on a continuous basis for a completely Managed Cloud solution.

In case you own IT team will take over and therefore we do not need to operate or maintain the Cloud installation after provision, no worries! In such a case you may use our one-off IT.ToCloud offering!
