Two new cloud-based services are available from telecoms firm LinkBermuda.

To assist businesses keep information safe and secure, LinkBermuda has created a Cloud Backup service, which offers the double security of an on-site hardware backup appliance and replicated data backup through LinkBermuda’s Cloud platform.

“Cloud Backup solution offers businesses the best of both worlds when it comes to Cloud vs local disk data protection. That is, fast in-house backup and restore with an appliance at the customer’s location, with a secure off-site copy on the Cloud platform at the LinkBermuda data centre,” the company said in a statement.

The other new service is LinkBermuda’s Virtual Private Cloud, which the firm said allows customers to “rapidly deploy test and development environments, migrate key production workloads to the public cloud, or launch net new applications. Virtual Private Cloud offers customers fixed compute, storage and network increments and can be expanded and customised through the use of add-ons to meet specific business requirements”.

Edgar Dill, vice president of sales and marketing at LinkBermuda, said: “Cloud services will be the backbone of IT today and tomorrow.

“Along with our existing Cloud PBX service, our new Bermuda based cloud services will help businesses simplify their IT operations, become more agile and reduce capital spending.”

He added: “Virtual Private Cloud, which is VMware powered, and Cloud Backup will give customers the empowerment and flexibility to help them navigate their future”.

LinkBermuda’s Virtual Private Cloud and Cloud Backup are located in the firm’s Tier 3 data centres at the Link Teleport in Devonshire.
