The CertaintyCloud®

Cloud computing is the hot topic of much debate in IT. It is a technology that is developing rapidly and becoming a serious option in the mix of the ICT technologies used today in business. Cloud computing isn’t for every business just yet but every business needs to have a Cloud strategy ready if they are to stay competitive and not miss out on the opportunities this technology can create. 

The KCS CertaintyCloud® provides full server facilities on a hosted basis, allowing enterprises to securely access email and files from any location on a pay per user per month basis. Our flexible approach means control is still kept within the business and our clever CloudBridge™ technology ensures that even if your internet access goes down an automatic back up system keeps emails flowing and enables access to resources without interruption. This works using a secure system similar to a mobile phone to keep you connected if your broadband provider doesn’t, and it fully automatically switches over.

This technology means that there is no need to have any servers or even any fixed PCs in order to access your office securely. The system can work using thin client computers, with all of the processing power - the computer thinking - done in the cloud which makes frequent replacement of PCs a thing of the past.

Working from home, or working in the snow, no longer requires additional configuration or technology as cloud resources are available from anywhere. This is particularly attractive for homeworkers and organisations that have multiple sites but equally benefits businesses that are looking to avoid the problems experienced over the last few winters, with staff stranded at home due to snow and poor weather conditions.

The KCS CloudBridge™ system comes with the ability to extract any file, any time, securely to any real computer. This means if you need a file "out" of your cloud system you can easily access this. This secure access system also acts as a backup protection allowing you to extract your files from a separate, independent system if there is a problem in the cloud. (Having said that the KCS CertaintyCloud® has a 100% uptime guarantee). You remain in complete control of your data.

The CertaintyCloud® includes expert advise on how to move your business to the cloud, how much of your the system to move, and on the benefits from the associated cost savings of having minimal physical hardware. This is not appropriate for all businesses but every business should consider the effect of cloud computing and collaborative on-line resources as the part of their long term IT strategy.

 KCS have longstanding expertise in smoothly moving businesses both in and out of the cloud once the solutions have been determined that suit best in individual circumstances. KCS is well placed to provide advice to customers - we evaluate and recommend the approach that best fits your business requirement. Through our CertaintyContract® we will then successfully implement, manage and maintain the most appropriate solution for your needs.
