“The Cloud” is a complex and contentious subject, sometimes on premise services can be enhanced by moving them to the Cloud, and sometimes not. Computer Talk offers a range of carefully selected cloud based services because they offer clear benefits to you. Our trusted advice means you can be sure that you are engaging with cloud services because it’s better for you, and not simply just because you can. Here are some examples of services we offer which are cloud based:
Email and Office 365
Email has been a service in the cloud since the mid 1990’s and is something we all accept as a part of daily life. These services are now more sophisticated than ever and through Microsoft we can now deliver Enterprise class email to our customers on both small and large scales, alongside document storage and collaboration tools.
Backup
Backup of data is critical to us all. Extending backup to the cloud as well as on premise means we can secure our most critical data even in the case of a disaster at school. As prices reduce we are now seeing more and more data moving to the cloud to the point where complete disaster recovery plans using cloud storage and servers are a realistic option for school budgets. A matter of a few years ago this would have been unthinkable. If you are concerned about backup or would like to formulate a DR plan for your school, talk to us today.
Mobile Device Management
We have a central management console from which to offer our managed services to all of our customers, and a cloud based service to keep your devices connected with the system. This cloud based services through Lightspeed helps your system to remain secure and traceable.
Enterprise Antivirus
Some time ago you would require an on premise server just to manage your Antivirus product. Over time the server requirements for this grew in specification to the point where it needed to be as powerful or more as your main server. Now we no longer need to worry about this, or invest in that hardware. Computer Talk offer cloud based Antivirus through Panda. All devices are in touch with the system whether at school or at home, giving you peace of mind that your devices are being secure and updated at all times.
These are a handful of the services we offer which have truly benefited from being available as cloud services. This portfolio will grow year on year and we will continue to strive to offer better services at best value for all of our customers.
