Cloud

flexible. reliable. scalable.

Momentum for migration of services and solutions to the cloud is rapidly gaining, as well-thought-out and managed strategies deliver significant rewards in terms of IT performance and reduction in Total Cost of Ownership.

Whether you are considering a migration from one cloud provider to another, or from an in-house environment to a cloud-based solution, Borwood’s team of solutions specialists take a big-picture view of your current technology status and requirements and deliver securely designed, flexible platforms to increase productivity.

Borwood has secure carrier-class facilities in London, Johannesburg and Cape Town, and agreements in place with over 220 co-location facilities across the globe.

These are well provisioned with redundant, high capacity, Tier-1 global links, which means that Borwood is well positioned as the ideal cloud-based home for your servers and services. Borwood has purposefully remained technology agnostic ensuring that we are not locked into any one equipment supplier.

Public, Private and Hybrid Solutions

The key benefits to cloud solutions include scalability, the ability to grow the server base quickly, security, instant delivery and virtual resources, whether you prefer a public, private or hybrid cloud solution.

The most widely recognised model of cloud computing is public cloud. In a public cloud environment, services are built on one infrastructure and shared with multiple clients. Information is accessible via the internet.

On the other hand, Private cloud computing is a single-tenant environment where the hardware, storage and network are acquired by a single client and dedicated to that company.

Hybrid cloud presents a mix of public and private cloud solutions to form a unique environment that gives you public cloud flexibility with private cloud assurance.

Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Planning

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning are processes that should be put in place to ensure that organisations are prepared for disruptive events, and can recover quickly. These events can include anything from natural disasters, power outages, IT disruptions or even a key staff member leaving unexpectedly. Many businesses will find that having them in place are pre-requisites to doing business with certain customers.

Business Continuity planning involves the implementation of systems and processes to ensure an organisation can continue to do business despite interruptions, while Disaster Recovery represents the physical recovery of a business after such an event.

Both Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery can be made easier through cloud computing services, due to information accessibility and storage capacity online.

Because they have a similar goal – to keep the business running – they are often grouped together. However, the strategies for implementation vary slightly and we evaluate each organisation before suggesting the way forward.

Don’t let your business fall prey to situations beyond your control. Borwood can provide disaster recovery and continuity mechanisms to ensure that your business is safe and sustained regardless.

Unified Email Management (UEM)

Borwood has partnered with Mimecast to deliver highly sophisticated UEM Solutions. We also offer bespoke UEM solutions.

Our service architects place a spotlight on your requirements, configuring a solutions package that integrates email archiving, security and continuity in a way that answers your business needs.

Our highly secure and resilient offsite, private or public cloud-based email archive options are managed from a central (web-based) management console, and archives are accessible from Outlook or any web browser.

Rapid search functionality enables administrators and employees to find emails within a few seconds. Search apps are available for Android, Windows Phone, iPhone, iPad and BlackBerry mobile devices.

Our UEM solutions let you simplify email infrastructure and reduce overheads with a centrally managed cloud system and no additional hardware or equipment costs.

Security as a Service (SECaaS)

Continued protection and up-to-date security coverage

Cyber-security has become increasingly important with new threats and hackers emerging almost daily.

Built on the industry’s top ranked Unified Threat Management platform, Borwood’s Hosted Security solutions will safeguard your network from any general or targeted cyber attacks. The integrated security system lets you custom-design allow/deny lists and monitors for anomalous data, generating alerts if an unauthorised entry is made.

The secure, remote access provides network authentication and grants access to authorised users from anywhere in the world, while maintaining the utmost security. This also means administrators can respond to threats in real time should they become apparent.

Data integrity is ensured by encrypting all data stream packets and with 24/7 monitoring.

Don’t let security threats compromise your IT infrastructure. Contact the security consulting team at Borwood to get the right solutions for you.
