Mweb Business launches virtual data centre
Mweb Business has launched a virtual data centre service, taking secure data storage and network access services to the cloud.
Said Mweb CEO, Derek Hershaw: “This type of service goes by various names including Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas) or Public Cloud but at MWEB we simply call it cost-effective IT convenience. Any organisation that requires a data centre should seriously consider the undeniable benefits of a virtual data centre (VDC) solution – it’s fully scalable.”
According to Mweb, VDC users will have the same control of their servers and network as they would with a traditional on-site data centre – but without the associated costs of buying and maintaining enterprise-class hardware.
Businesses can build their server, switching and storage in exactly the same way as they would in the physical world.
RAM, CPU and storage can be configured to suit the business’ needs, and the company can add, upgrade, downgrade and remove servers, as often as they want – provided they don’t downgrade their system to below the original contract threshold, Mweb said.
Businesses can link directly to their own virtual private network (VPN), and companies can also create networks within the VDC environment, Hershaw said.
