Cloud53 have a large offering of managed services as essentially most activities your organisation carries out day to day can be hosted in the cloud. These include the following:
-Microsoft SharePoint is the leading file and information storage platform and fully integrates with all other Microsoft products. Like Exchange 2013 it is also available on any device anywhere. Many businesses use SharePoint and Exchange combined to service all their needs
– Essentially this means that your computer on your desk need not contain any of your data, no business applications e.g. MS Office and no security. All your computer is used for is to connect to the internet and access your remote desktop which contains all your data and licensed software which is safe, secure and backed up.
– In simple terms this is backing up your data offsite and to the cloud. People only realise the importance of their data when they have lost it whether that be due to corruption, virus, deletion or simply disk failure. Cloud53 can backup your data (any size) to the cloud so it’s safe and accessible. We can backup daily or weekly and retain the last 30 days for you or more if required. Equally we can restore the data back to you should the worst happen. How valuable is your data? What would you do without it?
– Also known as DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service) Cloud53 provide high-availability and continuous uptime solutions for your organisation. We do this by replicating your live systems to our Cloud environment realtime. Our Cloud technology monitors the heartbeat of your production servers and can automatically failover entire production servers to our Cloud within minutes. This ensures your business critical servers are always available no matter what happens.
– Your Fileserver in the Cloud. Cloud53’s virtual data room technologies allow you to work collaboratively with internal work colleagues as well as 3rd party contractors. You control the permissions, the data never leaves the cloud and is always encrypted at rest. Cloud53’s CloudFiles enables staff to work from anywhere without the worry of data loss on the move.
– Cloud53 has its own bespoke Antivirus solution which is hosted in the cloud and runs on your computers through a very lightweight application. This is a fully managed service, updates happen seamlessly without the users knowledge and should a virus be detected again this will be dealt with remotely leaving the user safe in the knowledge that their computer is fully protected
– SPAM (unsolicited email) sadly affects everyone these days (estimated 100 billion sent around the world daily). Cloud53 host a fully managed service for anti-spam and anti-virus filtering of all your emails. Spam filtering will never be 100% as its obviously changing daily however we estimate that approximately 99% of spam is quarantined by our anti-spam system.
– Cloud53 can remotely monitor your computers and servers therefore helping to maintain high availability time of all your computer equipment. The proactive service includes event monitoring, patch management, regular defragmentation of file systems, computer scans, service warnings and security maintenance. This is another Cloud53 service which happens seamlessly without user intervention to help you continue with your business and us with ours
– with the majority of people having smart phones and tablet computers mobile working has never been as high and as a result of this data is being carried on a variety of devices which potentially could be lost and so data protection breached. Cloud53 can manage these devices allowing you to find and track these devices. In addition applications can be deployed to the mobile devices, password policies enforced and above all if the device is lost it can be remotely wiped.

The majority of organisations host their own IT services in house and as such to move to a cloud based environment can seem daunting. However this is what Cloud53 do, you don’t have to worry. Every case is different and ultimately comes down to the window available to transition all or part of an organisations applications and services from on-site premises to the cloud. There are many factors to consider when migrating including the amount of data, software licensing, bandwidth and current hardware however this will all be considered as part of the project planning. Above all your new cloud environment will be built and tested both by ourselves and you before migrations begin, unless we all agree data migration will not happen so you can be assured that on go live day everything works as it should.
Craig has a predominantly legal IT background having worked at Squire Patton Boggs (Hammonds as was) from IT Support manager up to Change & Configuration manager. At Hammonds Craig introduced the ITIL framework as he is a fully qualified to ITIL manager level. Next stop was DWF as IT Manager during a massive period of growth whereby Craig managed several projects including the move of HQ into Spinningfields and moving from a physical to fully virtual infrastructure. Craig left DWF in 2012 to work for himself on a consultancy basis and went on to work extensively with the Morson Group designing and implementing their new IT Infrastructure giving a fully compliant DR strategy. Craig then went on to jointly setup Cloud53 in 2015 as he believed there was a gap in the market for Cloud technologies and IT support to be done differently firmly targeting SME’s.
