Cloud Computing - Case Study

Client Background

A local recruitment company’s IT requirement was to have all of the benefits of a server and a scalable IT infrastructure without the costs of maintaining their own in-house equipment.

BrightVisions brief was to design and implement a solution that would address the points below.

The final solution must be:

• Robust, secure and reliable
• Limit Hardware Costs
• Limit in-house equipment
• Cost effective and scalable
• Backed up and fully transferable
• Reduced maintenance, repair and upgrade costs

The Solution

BrightVisions Recommended:
Hosted solution - where BrightVisions provide the servers and the software hosted in our Data Centre. The Client would then use remote desktop amongst other technologies to access their servers & data.
BrightVisions provide a second set of backup servers/software located in their sister office, in case the primary servers should ever fail.
A monthly charge applies which covers your share of the server rental, use of applications such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint, hosted exchange for email and calendars, and all data backing up and system maintenance.

The Benefits

• Hugely reduced capital cost
• Predictable running costs, no more upgrades or renewal costs
• No need for in-house servers
• 99.9% uptime across all hosted services
• Worry-Free backup, BrightVisions handle all backups
• Backup routine and Business Continuity (with the second bank of servers in case the first bank fails)
• Exit strategy – your configuration, databases, folders and files remain your property

Conclusions

There are several compelling reasons as to why a hosted solution would be the first choice these include:
• Freedom from servers, software licensing and other maintenance issues
• Your business can be securely operated from anywhere at anytime
