The transition to cloud services…

In today’s business environment, it has become more difficult for companies to find the capital needed to expand their business. Growing revenue in a challenging economic environment requires businesses to find new customers and launch new products and services, while controlling expenses.

On average, companies spend 70% of their IT budget on day-to-day operations and only 30% on projects dedicated to growing the business, but imagine how those resources could be utilized if the ratio was reversed. Businesses could strengthen their sales force, expand their territory, develop new products and services, or implement new applications to help improve customer service. The possibilities are endless.

Excedeo Cloud Service is the next generation of server based computing, replacing the conventional concept of dedicated, physical servers with virtual computing resources that look and behave exactly like dedicated resources. All this is delivered through a powerful, secure, and flexible compute platform that utilizes best-of-breed vendors to ensure a reliable and secure IT solution.

What is the Excedeo Cloud Service?

Excedeo Cloud Service is a private, highly secure and fully redundant compute infrastructure that allows us to dynamically expand and contract compute resource needs on the fly. This technology completely eliminates the need for upfront capital investment by turning your IT solutions into a monthly operating expense and allowing you to more easily budget your IT expenditures.

When it comes to cloud computing, some companies remain skeptical. Excedeo Cloud Service has addressed these four critical concerns by building our infrastructure from the ground up with a focus on:

• Security
• Redundancy
• Performance
• Vendors

Security

One of the biggest concerns about cloud computing is how to make the transition without sacrificing security. Excedeo Cloud Service is built from the ground up with a specific focus on enterprise-grade security through the use of clustered firewalls, best-of-breed hypervisor technology, and NetApp SAN storage. Your data is protected at every level to ensure compliancy for regulatory standards.

Data Centers

Excedeo Cloud Service consists of multiple data centers geographically located for performance and redundancy. Our data centers implement the highest standards in security to ensure data protection. These standards include:

• SAS-70 Type II Audited
• 24x7 Onsite Security
• Biometric Access
• Surveillance Cameras
• Regulatory Standards Compliant (HIPAA, PCI, etc)

Network

Our network utilizes software-based Cisco switches in addition to dual-Juniper SSG hardware firewalls that allow our infrastructure to allocate diverse networking protocols to our customers’ resources. This isolation allows access restrictions as granular as individual virtual machines or entire resource pools and their accompanied storage.

Concerns for network security are alleviated through the use of virtual private firewalls, private vLANs, private routing, and secure permission sets. With Excedeo Cloud Service, our top priority is to ensure that your IT solution is secure from top to bottom.

Storage

To prevent data intrusion and corruption, we have chosen to use the leading vendor in storage virtualization, NetApp. Within our storage array, Excedeo Cloud Service utilizes MultiStore and SnapLock to setup secure storage partitions to our customers.

MultiStore

MultiStore allows Excedeo Cloud Service to provide a secure, multi-tenant infrastructure by isolating mission critical data in order to provide the highest levels of security and meet all regulatory compliances.

SnapLock

SnapLock can help you meet strict data retention regulations and IT compliances. Through SnapLock you can create non-rewriteable and non-erasable data volumes to prevent data tampering or deletion.
