The Solsis Team

We’ve just like to show our support to Solsis’ Sales Manager Steve Chambers who has taken it upon himself to walk the Great Wall of China on Saturday to raise £6K for the Institute of Cancer Research UK.

Cancer is the UK’s number one killer responsible for one in four of all deaths in the UK. As a result of so many people being exposed to Cancer, Steve and his walking partner in crime Nathan Court are doing their bit to raise vital funds to assist the Institute of Cancer Research UK carrying out pioneering research to reach it’s ultimate goal – that people can live their lives free from the fear of Cancer as a life-threatening disease.

Their challenge is to trek the Great Wall of China over 9 days starting on Saturday 8th October 2011. Preparations have been already well underway to enable two mid-thirty year old men to achieve this aim – you can see lots of information on the challenge, more about us and our preperations on their blog.

If you would like to make a last minute donation towards their target please visit their donation page. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Please help them acheive their goal in making a real difference to so many peoples lives in the UK.

Good luck guys, and come back to Solsis in one piece!

Cloud computing/server free offices have been very popular for businesses within London over the past 4 years, so much so that the IT industry are expecting that 90% of London SME’s will be in the cloud by 2015 and some major server manufacturers have already stopped building SME servers.   However due to broadband limitations Cloud has not been a viable option for most SME’s in Berkshire, without spending a fortune on leased lines…

Thankfully however, this has now changed as BT Infinity becomes available for businesses in our area for the first time this month. This will finally give SME’s the opportunity to investigate moving to a server free environment.

Why most SME’s are moving to a cloud network rather than buying a new server:

• Save 60% of the cost of buying a new server.
• Never worry about any server downtime or emergency upgrades ever again.
• Unlimited access to data.
• Never purchase a new server again (average costs for a single server for SME’s within the UK is £8-£10K per server).
• Complete disaster recovery solution included, you don’t need to worry about server anti-virus/spam, data encryption or backups again.

To help understand if cloud computing is a suitable option for your business call Gary Twigger on 01344 401504 or request a quote.

Solsis’ fully managed virtual private servers provide your business with a Cloud Computing server platform that is highly available, secure, scalable, and will help to reduce the cost of technology in your business.

What are Virtual Private Servers?

Built on VMware technology, our virtual private servers deliver computing efficiencies by allowing several “virtual” servers to run across a pool of physical “host” servers. Each operating system appears to have the host’s processor, memory, and resources to itself, however VMware technology controls the host processor and resources, distributing what is needed to each operating system in turn and ensuring that the virtual servers are unable to disrupt each other.

Benefits of Virtual Private Servers:

Reduced Costs – Efficient use of computing resources, less IT management, increased productivity, and lower energy usage help to drive your costs down

Reduced Capital Expenditure – We’ve already invested in the technology required, meaning you don’t need to No More Server Refresh Projects – We take care of that for you

Quickly Scalable – Better align your technology services to your business’s changing requirements

Anytime, Anywhere Access – Cloud technology improves productivity and flexible working

Environmentally Friendly – Virtual servers help reduce energy consumption

Highly Reliable and Available – Virtualisation technology dramatically improves server uptime

Everyone is talking about it – but is it just the latest buzz technology? Put quite simply, the term Cloud Computing describes flexible IT resources provided by an external provider over the internet on a pay-as-you-go basis. Resources are accessed by the web, which means that they can be accessed securely anytime, from anywhere, via the internet. Businesses no longer need to purchase and manage their IT resources in-house, instead remote resources are utilised. There’s no need to worry about how things are being maintained behind the scenes – you simply purchase the IT service you require as you would any other utility. What is new however is that Cloud Computing is now affordable and accessible to companies of any size, giving enterprise level technology to every business.

Many have heard of the term “Cloud Computing”, but far fewer understand what it is and ultimately, whether it will benefit their business. In an economic climate where every penny counts, businesses are increasingly looking for innovative ways to cut costs while maximising returns, one of these being through new technologies. This whitepaper is intended for anyone whose role it is to transform IT into a strategic asset and business enabler, whilst reducing costs and maximising value, whether that is the company owner, the MD or the IT Manager.

As IT becomes an increasingly important tool for businesses of all sizes, it is crucial that any IT spend adds real value to your business, your employees and ultimately, to your bottom line. This whitepaper outlines considerations when formulating your IT strategy – turning your IT into a strategic asset and business enabler – and goes on to describe some of the main IT solutions that can add value to your business today such as Cloud Computing, Virtualisation, VoIP and Mobile Computing as well as how to protect your business by producing an effective Disaster Recovery Plan, and finally how to effectively support your IT infrastructure.

IT All Starts With an IT Strategy

When considering the IT solutions and services that can add value to your business, you should begin by defining the overall business objectives of your IT requirements. Scalability is a key consideration, there is no sense in simply assessing what you currently need today – how about what you will need in 2 years, or even in 5 years? Your IT strategy should look at your long term business plans and subsequent IT requirements, so you incorporate systems that can, for example, scale for business growth – whether that is the number of employees you anticipate needing, or the number of office locations you may have.
