Cloud Solutions

Does your organisation retain computing services that go un-utilised, waiting to meet future demand? Or are you forced to wait until systems reach critical utilisation before you’re able to make the case for upgrades? Does your IT team need to maintain technical skills that are only needed for a few days a year? Do you want to keep pace with innovation without the capital budget?

Say goodbye to those inefficiencies, because in many cases, a ‘public cloud’ solution can reduce your dependency on owned or leased computing services; instead you can subscribe to hosted services delivered over the Internet. Capital expenses become operating expenses, and specialist service vendors take on the responsibility of backup, maintenance, redundancy and upgrades.

In many circumstances, a public cloud solution may not be appropriate due to regulatory requirements, security concerns, organisational priorities or your current stage in the buying cycle. The Missing Link has the experience to consult with you on a private or hybrid model that may better suit the needs of your business. These too can reduce inefficiencies and allow you to optimise your environment.

Not only can we provide consulting services for tailored cloud solutions, The Missing Link has also developed a secure multi-tenant platform that can host your workload on an efficient and flexible IT platform based on technologies from trusted brands such as Cisco, IBM, NetApp, and VMware. This can be a stand-alone Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering or as a component of our managed services.

Constant innovations in virtualisation and distributed computing, as well as cheaper access to high-speed Internet infrastructure, continue to increase the potential benefits and cost-savings made with cloud computing.

With all the misconceptions and hype around cloud computing, as the first certified IBM Cloud Builder in Australia and New Zealand, The Missing Link can help you navigate the countless options available.
