Cloud Assessment Roadmap – building a plan for the future

Understanding your IT roadmap and how cloud fits into your organisational strategy is a key element of your planning process. Having a view of your current portfolio and its optimum mix can help you build a plan for success. Ensuring that your plan incorporates or considers cloud solutions, means that you have a clear vision of how your company will meet its goals over the next three to five years.

Virtual Private Cloud.

Do you know you want to have a private cloud based solution but would rather someone else manage it on your behalf? We have the knowledge and experience to provide this for you.

Depending on what your requirements are such as outsourcing the running of your applications, platform, infrastructure or a combination of all, we will understand your needs and build a virtual private cloud for you. You realise the benefits of cloud whilst only paying for the service you want rather than the equipment or licences required to deliver it.

Hosting – do it yourself, co-location or fully managed.

Every company needs to run and maintain their IT infrastructure and that often means having numerous servers and equipment on their premises which need to be managed, maintained, upgraded and monitored. This can be a costly exercise both in monetary terms, but also in manpower hours and experience. Failure isn’t an option as IT systems are vital to success and are the backbone of an organisation. BT Ireland can provide companies with secure locations to house the business critical servers that power their organisation - all within a physically secure environment. Companies can focus on their business and enjoy the benefits of the highest quality infrastructure. The choice of Co-lo provides clients with options for the support and maintenance of hardware and software delivered through BT Ireland.

Public Cloud – looking at the options available to help make you successful and understanding how a shared cloud can give you what you need.

Whilst the solution is delivered by a third party, you need to be able to understand the options available to you and trust the advice you are being given. Public Cloud might be the right solution for your business – but being sure you have made the right decision is vital. With a range of applications, solutions and services available, we have the knowledge, expertise and understanding to ensure that the solution you choose is suitable for your business.

Integration services – bringing it all together: what you already have and what you need – and ensuring it all works effectively and efficiently.

Many customers have often identified an end goal but need expert advice on which technologies are most appropriate and the resources to help implement them in the most efficient way with low risk and a high quality return. The Technical Consultancy Team can help customers to ensure that the right technology, design and implementation processes are adopted to get it right first time.

Security – ensuring high levels of security across all your data and server needs.

One of the most common questions asked when looking at a cloud solution is around the security, integrity and confidentiality of deploying this type of solution. BT Ireland have experience and expertise with security across multi-levels of applications, servers, data and solutions – ensuring that whatever you choose you can rest assured that your security is taken care of.

Business Applications – a range of cloud based applications to help you run your business and service and sell more to your customers.
