As part of the package that we offer at CMCS, we provide support for the hosting
of customer IT equipment within our dedicated server room. The room is under 24/7 CCTV
surveilence, both inside and out, and employs a swipe card access system to
ensure all equipment is as safe and secure as possible.
Server Hosting
We maintain a customer network that is isolated from the internal CMCS network,
and used solely by equipment that customers choose to locate in our server room.
Customers can use this facility to replicate any data processing or workflow management
systems they may have, to ensure that their critical IT functions are protected.
Secure access can be provided from the customer network to a subset of the CMCS
network, allowing customers to talk directly to our equipment, such as printers,
so jobs can be managed and executed autonomously by customers, without having to
involve CMCS IT resources. This provides customers with the peace of mind that comes
from ensuring all of their security requirements are being met.
Dedicated Comms
Whilst we can provide internet access to any customer equipment located in our server
room, there is often the requirement for customers to provide their own dedicated
link to their equipment. Any customer can have their own link installed into our
server room, from ISDN and ADSL connections all the way up to dedicated leased lines,
and we already have over 20 private lines already installed by various customers.
Virtualization Support
In addition to supporting physical equipment we also maintain a virtualized environment for customers who have a need for
off-site IT capabilities without the expense of hardware. We can provide customers
with as many virtual machines as they require, each with it's own dedicated network
card.
