FIBRE, WiFi, SATELLITE BROADBAND & 4G

Cloud Computing is the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage and process data, rather than on a local server or a personal computer. It is a big shift from the traditional way, because businesses are thinking more about IT resources.

  • Reduce Costs- companies no longer need to maintain physical infrastructure.
  • Availability- users have access to their private sensitive data anytime they choose.
  • Security- the cloud offers more advanced security features than local servers.
  • Mobility- mobile access to corporate data with smartphone and devices.
  • Scalability- cloud infrastructure scales on demand to support fluctuating workloads.
  • Collaboration- teams can collaborate from widespread locations.

Why move over to Keyfort’s Cloud Server

  • There are no costs for a physical infrastructure because Keyfort own their own. It is also managed by the IT engineering team, which means you do not have to spend thousands on a new piece of hardware.
  • Cloud servers are fast and expandable, which allows them to meet business’ requirements as they grow.
  • The cloud servers are UK based data centres, which are ISO 270091 compliant.
  • Our data centres are designed to keep your data secure and they use resilient systems so there is no single point of failure.
  • Allows for remote working due to bandwidth flexibility.
  • The cloud servers have back-up batteries. Which means that if the internet ever went down, they would still be up and running. This is known as an auto fail-over, meaning that you will always have access to your business’ sensitive data.

What Keyfort Cloud Services include?

KCS provides two types of services that include; Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS).

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)

IaaS is an online service that can be used for accessing, monitoring and managing remote data centre infrastructures. Such as storage, networking and networking services. Which means that you won’t need to buy any hardware, instead you can purchase IaaS based on consumption. This is similar to electricity or other utility billing.  Infrastructure as a Service involves; data centres, disaster recovery, email management service and offsite backup.

  • Data Centres are networks which are purposed for collecting, storing, processing, distributing or allowing access to a large amount of data. A secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) access will be provided for two way access to your servers, where you are guaranteed to receive top speed secure access to your server content.
  • Disaster Recovery (DR) is a set of policies and procedures, which are set to protect organisations from any disasters. DR allows for organisations to recover access to their software, data and/or hardware and allow them to resume the performance of normal, critical business functions. DR plans must be adaptable and routinely updated in order to maximise their recovery after a disaster.
  • Email Management Service (EMS) uses multi-layered anti-spam and dual layer antivirus technology to filter out any emails which are harmful or unsolicited, leaving you with the only emails that matter. Keyfort’s Email Management Service is the ideal bridge to upgrading to our cloud email service.
  • Offsite backup is the process of copying the important files and data from your office and saving them somewhere else for safekeeping. This safeguards them in case of any unfortunate event. Everything will happen automatically, so you can always feel safe knowing your data is backed up. Without offsite backup, data recovery can cost thousands, whilst often procuring nothing.

Software as a Service (SaaS)

SaaS is a method of software delivery that allows data to be accessed from any device with an Internet Connection and web browser. Software as a Service (SaaS) includes Google Apps for Work, Keypage DMS and Microsoft Office.

  • Google Apps for Work is a diverse cloud-based suite application that enables you and your business to work together no matter where you are or what device you are using. Google Apps for Work provides a reliable, secure, web-based “Software as a Service” package, which includes documents, storage and more.
  • Office 365 can provide email for business, increased online document storage with OneDrive, access to all Office applications, Lync web conferencing and more. The only requirement is having an internet connection, there is no longer a need for a server. This reduces utility bills and frees up valuable office real estate. Access via the internet also unleashes the potential for working remotely without extra configuration or set up costs.
  • Keypage is a business-based document management system, allowing teams to share documents in an easy and controlled fashion. Data will be stored in the UK and under UK jurisdiction meaning your data will be secure.

Multiple Building: meshed together as a single network with roaming between physical locations.

User Classes: the ability to assign different user classes each with their own web filtering, security and allocation of available bandwidth.

Business Class Hardware: the access points are available in office, industrial and outdoor.

Security and Management: central management facilitates full control over the physical network as well as user admin and security.

Power over Ethernet (PoE): PoE negates the need for each wireless access point.

Satelitte Broadband

Satellite broadband is an option available to businesses in rural areas where traditional fixed-line based broadband services aren’t yet available.

The main advantage of satellite broadband is that it can be provided virtually anywhere in the world. As long as you have a clear line of sight to the South generally.

Considerations

Latency: Due to the long distances involved (up to a satellite in Geo-stationary orbit), some data transfer latency is introduced. It can limit the use of real-time applications, but video conferencing and VoIP will work as long as you allow for some additional lag.

Weather: Satellite broadband can be affected by the weather. It requires line of sight between the dish and the satellite orbiting above earth. Although, a general rain shower shouldn’t affect things, a large storm should cause disruption to your broadband link.

But when no other internet services are available, the benefits usually outweigh the latency drawbacks!
