DATABARRACKS
Databarracks will be at Cloud Expo Europe to launch it’s new Infra- structure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering.
Established in 2003, Databarracks was one of the UK’s fi rst provid- ers of managed backup services. Since then, the company has seen rapid growth and expanded into disaster recovery services and the cloud. The company’s services are designed with a focus on security and support, hosted from Tier 4 ex-military data centres and managed round the clock by qualifi ed engineers. “We will be using Cloud Expo Europe to launch our new, highly secure Infrastructure-as-a-Service,” said the company’s MD Peter Groucutt during a chat with CCI.
“It is an exciting time in the industry. Businesses now really under-
stand the benefi ts of cloud computing and are starting to take advantages of the new services. At the same time, these are the early days of the cloud and so IT Managers, FDs and CEOs are being very careful with the services they are adopting. All the research, including our own Data Health Check survey seems to tell us the same story: the biggest con- cerns businesses have about cloud computing are around data security and data privacy. With that in mind, we have designed our IaaS to be incredibly secure, and highly certifi ed to address those needs out of the gate. We are ISO 27001 certifi ed for Information Security, we’ve just been certifi ed by the Cloud Industry Forum and we are going through the ac- creditation process for holding sensitive government.” “As a business, we’re no strangers to these concerns about secu- rity. Databarracks was originally set up to provide secure online backup services. Online backup or ‘cloud backup’ as we’re now calling it was probably the fi rst of these new cloud services. Instead of buying hardware for backups, online backup was a fl exible and scalable service and you paid for what you used, month by month. We’ve been providing cloud backup services for ten years now which has given us a lot of expertise in managing massive storage systems for thousands of customers.” “Our journey to providing IaaS has been an organic one. We moved into DR because our backup customers started asking us about faster recovery options. Virtualisation was starting to make Disaster Recovery- as-a-Service possible, so in 2008 we introduced ‘Virtual Disaster Recov- ery’. If you have a disaster, you simply restore into our VDR environment and work remotely from there. As we were restoring those servers for our customers – and giving some customers their fi rst look at server virtuali- sation, we started getting requests to do this on a permanent basis which brought us here to IaaS.”
“We made it our mission to talk to our customers about what they want from the cloud and have developed our IaaS to answer those needs. IaaS has to be secure, certifi ed and resilient so we’ve done that. Busi- nesses now also want to use the cloud for more than just Test & Dev, so we are using high performance SSD storage from SolidFire. We will also be unveiling our new customer portal so come along to see us at stand 917 for a chat and a demo.”
