Following a fantastic response to the launch of its Intelligent Cloud product last month, Manx Telecom is hosting a second presentation to show Island businesses how it makes cloud computing a practical and affordable option. The event will be held at Manx Telecom Headquarters, Isle of Man Business Park, on Wednesday April 25. Guests are invited to arrive at 3.30pm for a 4pm start and if you wish to attend please email business.events@manx-telecom.com or phone Manx Telecom corporate sales on 624 624.

The presentation will last around an hour with Fergal McKenna, Manx Telecom Sales Director, and Stephen Trimble, Manx Telecom Enterprise Hosting and Solutions Manager, demonstrating the product and answering questions from guests.

Stephen Trimble said the second Intelligent Cloud event was aimed at those businesses representatives who were unable to attend the launch at The Claremont which was packed with more than 80 representatives from a wide range of business sectors.

He commented:

“We had a fantastic response to the Intelligent Cloud launch, but wanted to provide another opportunity to explain the technology behind the product and demonstrate how easy it is for businesses of all sizes, and in all sectors, to benefit from cloud computing.”

Intelligent Cloud was developed by Manx Telecom in partnership with market leading hosting technology firm VMWare. Intelligent Cloud is the only Isle of Man-based VMWare-powered solution with free bandwidth - a fact which makes it an attractive choice for businesses looking to control IT costs.

In layman’s terms, Intelligent Cloud allows a business to buy IT services from Manx Telecom in the same way as it would buy power from an electricity supplier. If required, Intelligent Cloud allows a business to host all of its IT needs with Manx Telecom in a secure and resilient environment, removing the need to own and manage in-house networks and servers. Manx Telecom can now offer customers the option of hosting all of their IT and voice needs by using Intelligent Cloud in conjunction with its existing Intelligent Voice service.

For larger businesses that wish to use existing in-house networks and servers, Intelligent Cloud can provide extra capacity as and when required, therefore removing the need for further capital investment in additional IT hardware.
 
Cloud is ideal for a business that needs to flex its IT capacity up and down or for those needing a joined up business continuity plan. Intelligent Cloud also offers 24 x 7 x 365 technical support, 100% dedicated hardware, easy and rapid scalability, VMware trained technicians and many other cost benefits, plus full disaster recovery and back-up solutions.

At the heart of Intelligent Cloud is Manx Telecom’s purpose built Douglas North Data Centre which has the very highest standards of resilience and security and which is utilised and trusted by Isle of Man Government and many world leading private sector brands.
