Private Cloud Services

private-cloud

While we have helped many organisations enjoy the compelling benefits of BizLive, cloud computing can also be deployed on-premise, which makes the technology an even more attractive prospect for just about any organisation.  

Ultimately, cloud computing is concerned with transforming the way your organization provides  technology for consumption by users; IT in effect becomes a service, which means you can then measure usage - and be better placed to meet future needs.   

Developing a private cloud is increasing in popularity with enterprises who understand (or wish to gain a better understanding) the concept of turning their infrastructure into a service model, but want to utilise the cloud internally as opposed to using an external resource.  There can also be other drivers, such as:

  • Recent major investment in hardware technology which must be atomised
  • Ongoing concerns regarding allowing data to reside elsewhere and the security and integrity implications 
  • Fears about use of Line of Business (LOB) applications – support, licencing etc  

The ideal solution is to utilise the power of your current business systems and turn it into a cloud platform, delivering computing resources to users while you retain physical control over the datacentre and allowing you to:

Pool Your Resources - a private cloud consolidates your key hardware components together that allow you to then provision and scale applications and resources.

Turn IT into a Service - cloud computing allows you to deliver applications and resources as services, turning users into customers who can then use the systems provided to use as they see fit.  This means they can potentially manage themselves, which would free up your support resources for tasks requiring attention elsewhere

Create Flexible Resources - the cloud is brilliant for reacting quickly to changing requirements and allow you to scale services up or down according to need.

Move to Usage-based Computing - another facet of the cloud is that, as users are now customers, their usage can be monitored and even metered for billing, either internally across departments or externally for business partners as part of the delivery of products and services.

Firewall & UTM

Firewall and Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions from We Solve IT deliver enterprise class defences to your infrastructure - protecting your staff and your digital assets from malicious code and mischievious behaviour and taking back control of business systems suffering from chaos and sprawl generated through the profileration of devices, online applications and evolution in working practices. Our wide and varied  experience and partnerships with a range of vendors to help you choose the right Security Software or Device vendor to fit your current needs and assess future requirements.

Small Business - Draytek routers provide a good basic hardware solution with multi-site capabilities or for a larger range of features with control and reporting of employee activity, Untangle is a sophisticated but simple to manage product suite at a reasonable cost, while WatchGuard provide a comprehensive, enterprise level of defence for your perimeter.

Employee Remote Access - You can realise significant improvements in employee performance by enabling staff to have remote access and therefore adopt a more flexible approach to their work, but maintaining a balance between convenient access and securing your company's assets is a complex beast.  Ranging from 3 user small office to hundreds of corporate users with Unified Access Gateway and Identity Management,  We Solve IT partner with a range of vendors to provide the most secure and suitable remote access for your employees

Multi Tenant environments - Particularly where VLan segregation and bandwidth are important factors, Watchguard Firewall solutions provide a full range of features and are a perfect fit for these types of environments.

Complex Virtual or Private Cloud Environments - Virtual Switch and gateway protection, whether by vShield for VMware vSphere or Network Access Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V, can be a complex affair. 

Next Generation Firewalls are moving the technology surrounding Unified Threat Management to focus more on application control rather than rudimentary on/off access. For example, employee access could be provided to Facebook while blocking potential risks within the website such as Apps, Games, Email and Chat. Watchguard and Untangle (along with other vendor partners) already offer modules to control activity at this level.

We partner with the leading technology vendors in perimeter security to provide tailored, custom solutions that meet your immediate and future needs, encompassing network and application firewalls as well as UTM systems.  Deploying our firewall and UTM solutions within your organization bring peace of mind from enjoying a wide number of benefits, including:

  • Robust Security
  • Convenient, consilidated management
  • Improved web and data traffic control
  • Improved access and availability for Remote Users
  • Proven Cost-Effectiveness in protecting employees and business information
