Brightsolid is offering guaranteed UK data sovereignty with the launch of a new cloud service which will also benchmark performance and be 100 per cent renewables powered.
The data centre provider, which has state-of-the-art tier III facilities at its headquarters in Dundee, as well as in Aberdeen, unveiled a new version of its cloud managed infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS).
Established over 25 years as part of DC Thomson & Co Ltd Group, Brightsolid is a leading managed hybrid cloud and cyber security services provider, with customers including Aberdeenshire Council, Albert Bartlett, Capita, Dumfries and Galloway Council, Dundee City Council, Network ROI, Shell, Sparrows, SSSC, University of Dundee and West Yorkshire Combined Authority.
Brightsolid Chief Commercial Officer Alan Gardiner said: “We have developed Brightsolid Cloud as the ultimate teammate to help you work smarter, collaborate better and grow faster, with the peace of mind that your data is in safe hands.
“Our easy-to-use self-service portal allows customers to manage everything from virtual machines to firewalls and storage, scale resources up or down, configure settings and streamline operations with just a few clicks.
“Brightsolid Cloud offers advanced protection and secure firewalls that protect from any threats, inside and out, while our Tier III-designed data centres in Aberdeen and Dundee provide peace of mind that data is secure, compliant and meets your data sovereignty needs.
“Brightsolid Cloud is also powered by 100% renewable clean energy generated from sustainable wind and hydro sources, providing a huge advantage for customers seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and maximise sustainability.”
The company is also working with Futurescot on a new campaign to help organisations get the best out of their Microsoft licensing arrangements.
According to the firm’s head of cloud solutions, Nick Riley, there are 541 Microsoft licenses, and many organisations suffer because they do not know how to configure them.
If addressed, organisations can save potentially hundreds of thousands of pounds on their annual IT estate costs, as well as improve compliance and efficiency.
