About Cloud Solutions
WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING?
Cloud computing is the delivery of IT services and infrastructure over the Internet.
Processing and data storage takes place in powerful remote data centres instead of on-site machines and servers. As a result, organisations can reduce their costs, increase the performance of their IT setup and increase the flexibility of the way they work.
Cloud solutions also allow organisations to scale up or scale down their IT systems without the hassle and cost of owning and managing in-house IT infrastructure.

About Our Data Centre Presences
Our cloud infrastructure operates from two ISO 27001 and ISO 9001-accredited data centres, based in Maidstone and Reading, where we’ve designed and installed our own hosted infrastructure from the ground up.
Our underlying server infrastructure is built on the industry-leading VMWare hyper-converged technology, and the network is designed using Cisco hardware at both the core and edge. This combines to ensure a 99.5% uptime rate.
Our network is also protected from DDoS attacks at the perimeter, allowing traffic to be cleansed before entering our network.
We also monitor our systems 24/7, with our dedicated infrastructure engineers utilising their knowledge to additionally protect against all types of security and malicious attack.
Envionmental Impact
Sustainable Cloud Computing
Sustainability is a key part of our company values. As such, we embrace the green potential of cloud computing.
Our data centres are leaders in energy efficiency and sustainable practices, with award-winning features for reducing environmental impact and energy consumption. Our Maidstone data centre, for example, uses an advanced fresh air cooling system meaning it uses five times less energy per kW of IT load than the average data centre.
We also select IT infrastructure hardware that’s designed to perform better for longer, outperforming most standard server equipment and therefore needing replacing less frequently. When the equipment does reach the end of life, hardware is either recycled or repurposed.
