Network Cloudstor

The term ‘Cloud’ is appearing everywhere and is being heralded as some great revolution, however (with some notable exceptions) this technology is just an evolution of the remote systems access and off-site data storage which we have been implementing for our customers over many years.

In the right context ‘Cloud’ services can be beneficial, but in the event of a serious incident you need to know exactly where your data is and how you could get it back in a hurry, information which is not provided easily or necessarily transparently by even the major vendors.

Most current publicity surrounds what we term as ‘Public Cloud’ and is typified by services including Apples iCloud, Microsoft’s Office 365, Google Docs and Calendar, and services such as Box.

These may be useful for very specific business applications but they might result in ‘islands’ of distributed business data, and might well be inaccessible in the event of technical failures or dispute.

Our support is greatest for ‘Private Cloud’ applications where you own the storage and manage the backup on-premise or at an accessible Hosting Provider. Such an infrastructure ensures that you have end-to-end control of your date, whilst benefitting from increased mobility and potentially business continuity.

Like so many things IT, there is no ‘single’ solution; but get in touch and we will be happy to consider and discuss your specific circumstance.
