Ultimate Cloud

In basic terms, The "Cloud" means providing software, infrastructure, databases, networking, storage, and more entirely through the Internet. It can be offered as individual components or as an integrated platform, depending on your needs.

Benefits of Cloud Computing include:

Scalability

Reliability

Maintenance Free

Pay As You Go

Cloud computing offers three types: public clouds, private clouds, and hybrid clouds. At Ultimate IT, we help identify the best cloud solution for your business by matching your needs with the appropriate levels of security and management options.

Managed Private

A private cloud operates on a dedicated network within an organisation, effectively extending the traditional data center to offer enhanced storage capacity and processing power. It provides the highest level of security and control.

However, this approach requires significant investment in software and infrastructure, which may offset the expected cost savings.

The distinction between private and public clouds is increasingly blurred, with some public providers offering private cloud options and vice versa.

A private cloud is suitable when:

Data and application control and security are critical.
Your industry demands strict compliance with security and privacy regulations (e.g., PCI, SOX, HIPAA).
Your organisation is large enough to independently manage a next-gen cloud data center.

Managed Public

A public cloud provides internet-based services and infrastructure, such as applications, storage, and processing power, from a third-party provider. It offers efficient resource sharing but can be less secure than private clouds.

A public cloud is suitable when:

Your standardized workload for applications is used by many people.
You are focused on testing and developing code.
You use SaaS from vendors with strong security measures.
Your workforce requires scalable capacity (the ability to add or remove computer capacity during peak times).
You’re only engaged in collaboration projects.
You’re performing an ad-hoc software development project using a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering cloud.

Managed Hybrid

A hybrid cloud integrates various public and private options from different providers, ensuring that each aspect of your business operates in the most efficient environment.

However, this approach requires managing multiple platforms with different security levels and ensuring effective communication across all systems.

Hybrid cloud scenarios include:

Utilizing a SaaS application with enhanced security by having the vendor create a private cloud for your company within their firewall, supplemented by a VPN for additional protection.
Offering services tailored to different markets by interacting with clients through a public cloud, while keeping sensitive data secured in a private cloud.

Managing a hybrid cloud setup involves added complexity due to the need to coordinate and integrate private, public, and traditional data centers.

Cloud Solutions

Hosted environments offer complete, turn-key solutions that are both flexible and eco-friendly. They adjust to fluctuating business needs month-to-month and provide smaller organizations with access to reliable solutions that might be cost-prohibitive as capital expenditures.

Email Archiving

Email archiving is a vital tool for tracking and auditing, providing a systematic method to save and protect email data for easy access later. Previously, companies relied on users to manage their own archives, and IT backups were not searchable, making it difficult to find specific emails quickly. Today’s compliance and legal requirements necessitate efficient bulk email management to locate messages in minutes rather than weeks.

Modern policy-based email archiving services offer solutions for managing extensive archives, freeing up server space, and speeding up backups. These services typically include indexing and search capabilities for quick retrieval, access logs for legal audits, and lifecycle management.

Lifecycle management automates the process by applying rules to classify, migrate, and delete emails, ensuring efficient storage and compliance with retention policies. This approach streamlines email management, improves performance, and enhances overall efficiency.
