Internet Services

What is cloud computing?

Our definition of cloud computing is enabling users to access IT services from the Internet without any infrastructure, investment or services deployed in-house. 

We take complex services and make them consumable to small and medium businesses by developing a multi-tenant platform and productising a complete array of IT and communications services.

Our cloud computing platform is built to offer a wide range of hosted business services. Delivering these services to a guaranteed availability requires an infrastructure that’s versatile, scalable and highly resilient.

Cloud computing offerings: Hosted Microsoft Exchange

What is Hosted Exchange?  Hosted Exchange is an enterprise-class email platform that uses Microsoft Exchange technology, as above, but which is provided as a service by a hosting company such as Hosted Cloud. Unlike In-House Exchange, Hosted Exchange requires no capital expenditure or IT expertise within the company and includes off-site backups of data as standard. Hosted Exchange is typically charged at a fixed monthly per user.

The advantages are an enterprise class feature set, anywhere access, easy-to-use, no IT expertise required, simple to set-up and implement, rapid deployment, no cap-ex required, automatic off-site data back-up, 99.99% up-time and availability, 24/7 support, future proof, predictable costs, comprehensive anti-virus and anti-spam protection.

Access e-mail, voice mail, calendar, and contacts anywhere, anytime
With Hosted Exchange, users can access their important inbox information from virtually anywhere using a multitude of devices. 

Comprehensive protection from spam, viruses and phishing attacks
Hosted Exchange comes with integrated anti virus, anti-spam and anti-phishing technologies to stop the latest threats before they impact your business.

Easy deployment and management

All the hard-work and complexity of setting up an enterprise-class communications platform is done for you. No IT expertise or day-to-day management is required, nor do you have to worry about upgrades or maintenance. 99.99% availability and 24/7 support. All data regularly backed-up to multi-location datacenters. Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity are inherently built-in to the solution.

Affordable and scalable

Because no CapEx is required and there’s no minimum number of users, Hosted Exchange means an enterprise-class email platform is truly affordable for all. And, because it’s available on demand, it’s a truly scalable solution – by allowing you add users as and when you need, Hosted Exchange can grow to meet the needs of your business.

Cloud computing offerings: Hosted Microsoft Sharepoint

SharePoint lets you improve productivity with easy-to-use collaborative tools. As your organisation grows, the number of files you have will increase exponentially, and it can become difficult to keep track of all of your documents. With SharePoint you  can keep your files in a central location that can be accessed easily and quickly by team members, regardless of where they might be working from. It provides access control and revision control for documents and allows users to create sites for use within a company intranet. SharePoint enables teams and individuals to connect and collaborate together, and integrates well with existing line-of-business applications.

SharePoint collaboration services provide an always-available place via your web browser to share documents, project plans, ideas, contacts, announcements, calendars and anything else your team needs. You can add internal and external users and access from anywhere. This is an excellent option for sharing and collaborating with Microsoft Office and associated document types. SharePoint also supports versioning, which can help ISO certified businesses track document workflows.

Sharepoint services enable you to

• Increase the security of your business-critical information
• Empower site managers and teams
• Provide more robust document storage
• Manage business documents more easily
• Ensure integrity of content
• Build a collaboration environment quickly and easily
• Easily scale your collaboration solution to meet business needs
