What is Penta’s Business Cloud?
Penta’s Business Cloud plan is the complete turn-key IT solution for any small- to medium-sized business. Modern, mobile and secure. From IT support, email and file storage, to integrated backups, regulatory compliance and remote working – everything in one package. Enterprise-grade IT overnight.
Business Cloud puts your whole IT department in a secure, private infrastructure – a cloud customised for you. Applications, data, service desk, even a virtual CTO. Everything you would get from a fully staffed IT department, with greater capacity and near-zero downtime. You use as much of it as you want, when you want, and it can grow with you.
After all, the safest way to move your data around is not to move it. Business Cloud keeps it in your private cloud at all times; you “visit” your data without it ever leaving, with proven applications like Microsoft Office and Microsoft Exchange email integrated with cloud storage and communications tools like VoIP and Virtual Desktops.
All of course with bank-level security and the bonus of IT governance and audits. That is Business Cloud. No shared services, no public access, clear data jurisdiction with the bonus you can access it anywhere from different devices. Giving you access to all your IT, wherever you are, without the risk.
Is Business Cloud the right solution for you?
Business Cloud is the ideal solution for you if:
- You are an SMB with a small in-house IT team or none
- You want complete control over your data and applications, right within your premises
- You have to meet certain compliance requirements and cannot use public cloud solutions
- You prefer an OPEX model where you pay a predictable amount for only what you use
- You want an infrastructure that scales with you as your business grows
Benefits of using Penta’s Cloud Solutions
Cost Reduction
Inhouse IT costs money. Hardware and software cost money. Keeping it up to date costs money. But for many businesses, the biggest factor in costs is predictability. What if your server dies in the night, taking business data with it? What if your needs grow faster than your capacity? Managed services, private clouds, and outsourced expertise let you turn variable costs into fixed ones. That is what a partner like Penta can solve.
Security
You know your business data needs to be kept safe. But “data security” is not something layered on top: it starts with the first conversation. It is a strategy, not a product. Penta keeps data safe for over 200 organisations, including sectors where it is not an option like banking. Trusting your IT to a private cloud means security is a given, right from the start.
Compliance
Every business needs to deal with law and compliance – and as an IT partner recognized by numerous financial organizations, Penta has more experience than most. Compliance can be built into your applications and processes; management reporting and audit trails are available on schedule. Outsourced technologies like off-site apps and secure databases can keep you compliant – forever.
