EBC Cloud

We understand that migrating data and systems into the Cloud is a big step for a business so choosing a provider that has a secure and reliable infrastructure is extremely important. EBC Group has made significant investment into its cloud computing infrastructure and we offer clients dual UK data centres based onsite at our head office and secondary site in Northamptonshire.

Our data centres are privately owned meaning we don’t need to outsource any services to a third-party; ensuring that we have instant access to your data and systems, 24/7.

Having dual data centres at different locations means that we are able to back-up all data which ensures we are able provide businesses with a full disaster recovery service.

What is Private Cloud?

Private cloud is the phrase used to describe a cloud computing platform that is implemented within a firewall, under the control of a specialist provider. It offers the same features and benefits as public cloud platforms, but it is not a shared resource and is accessed through your own private fibre connection rather than via the internet. This provides your organisation with added security, monitoring and control and ensures it complies with even the most regulated industries.

Private Cloud is the ideal solution for businesses looking to get the benefits of cloud hosting but with the added security and resilience of having their own private infrastructure, operated on hardware dedicated to their individual business.  This ensures that each customer’s data remains totally isolated from every other client’s data, both in transit and inside our network, providing a higher level of security and flexibility. 

What is Hybrid Cloud?

Hybrid cloud utilises both your on-premises IT environment with private cloud. It's useful for organisations looking to combine the cost-efficiency and scalability of private cloud whilst keeping certain elements of their infrastructure such as a CAD server on-premises.

Hybrid cloud can be a good option for organisations that aren’t ready to move their entire IT operations to the cloud but want the benefits such as cost savings associated with moving away from on-premise.

Our Hybrid Cloud solutions enable the best of both worlds, by combining services from your own-premises, with our private cloud platform. By combining your services, you can include additional storage and capacity to your own environment.

Once deployed, we can managed and support your Hybrid Cloud solution, infrastructure and network as 24/7 fully managed service.

Hosted Desktop

A hosted  Desktop, is ‘Desktop-as-a-Service’ or ‘VDI solution’ which allows your staff to work 'Anywhere Anytime', with instant access to business applications, data, email and software packages.

The end-users experience is identical to that of a typical desktop computer. It looks, feels and behaves in exactly the same way, regardless of where you are working.

EBC Hosted Desktop provides a centralised approach, which removes many of the time consuming IT issues such as updating patches, user administration and application updates, but also guarantees the security of your organisations data whilst enabling a more flexible method for staff to access their files and applications from any internet-connected device.

What is cloud backup?

Backup is the process of replicating data to another device or location; traditional methods of data back-up include tape drives, offsite backup and even USB devices.  Data backup is obviously important, however, the more important consideration is whether or not your backup solution provides a disaster recovery or the ability for you to recover all your files, software and functionality quickly, easily and without corruption - for example, if your server died, you wouldn’t be able to quickly get back to work if you only had data-level backup.

Whilst we would always recommend that our clients considered a Disaster Recovery plan, our Cloud Backup and storage is a solution that offers our customers peace of mind that all their data is fully backed-up and secure.

Your data is secured with EBC Group’s private data centre and fully replicated at our secondary datacentre. Cloud Backup provides a superior service to standard backup solutions, delivering a far more robust and secure option to that of tape or disk backup.

Secure storage of data

Challenge:

Storing your backup somewhere safe is as important as backing up in the first place. However we find businesses constantly leave their backup tapes in the same place as their server and even lose tapes that contain sensitive data.

Solution:

We can relieve you of the day to day task of backing up data. By using Cloud Backup we can fully automate your backup, which will be secure and verified.
We have data centres located across the country allowing us to quickly backup your data. By doing this you’ll not have the hassle of making sure tapes are kept secure and offsite.

A long-term storage solution

Challenge:

Many businesses find that they need to find financial records dating back years. Unfortunately many tape backup schedules don’t date back long enough.

Solution:

We can keep your data safe and secure for as long as you require. As well as looking after your data, you’ll have the ability to access it at any time.
