1. Cloud eMail using Office 365

Discover the Power of Microsoft 365

Run your business more easily with Office 365. Get everything you need to get work done anytime, anywhere.

Office 365 Business Premium – All the features of both Microsoft ‘Business Essentials’ and Microsoft ‘Business’ in one integrated plan.

Email with mailbox
File storage and sharing
HD video conferencing
Full, installed Office on PC/Mac
Office apps on tablets and phones

Whether you’re working in your office or on the go, you get a familiar, top-of-the-line set of productivity tools. Office applications —always the latest versions—let you create, edit, and share from your PC/Mac or your iOS, Android™, or Windows device with anyone in real time.

Why Backup your Office 365

With Microsoft Office 365, you can work from anywhere without the need to host your own email, files and SharePoint infrastructure. However Microsoft only protects Office 365 at the infrastructure
level. It’s still your data. You control it. And it is your responsibility to protect it at a data-level.

As well as this, the average length of time from data compromise to discovery is over 140 days, yet default settings for Office 365 only protect for 30-90 days. With Ekco’s Office 365 Backup, you can
ensure data is retained for as long as you want it.

2. Hybrid Cloud Solutions

3.On-line Cloud Backup

We provide an online backup solution that is entirely automated and requires no effort on the client’s side. Once your account is setup, data backups take place automatically. Alpha CC perform one initial backup and transfer that to Ireland’s leading datacentre, then the backup software on your server automatically looks for new and changed files to append to your backup set.

While the initial backup may take some time, depending on the amount of data that you have, all subsequent offsite backups are quite short and very time efficient. Our engineers monitor each backup on a daily basis. We also replicate clients data to a secondary data centre also located within Ireland. This means all of our clients have two offsite copies of their data house in two of Ireland’s leading datacentres.

In this current economy, you are expected to do more with less. With Alpha CC virtualisation solutions (Microsoft Hyper- v) you see immediate, cost savings and that is only one of a multitude of
benefits.

There are many benefits to consolidating the number of Windows servers in your environment by taking advantage of the many different server virtualisation products (i.e. VMWare and Windows
Virtual Server) on the market.

These include:

Lower number of physical servers – you can reduce hardware maintenance costs because you have a lower number of actual physical servers.
By implementing a server consolidation strategy, you can increase the space utilization efficiency in your Server Room.
By having each application within its own “virtual server” you can prevent one application from impacting another application when upgrades or changes are made.
You can develop a standard virtual server build that can be easily duplicated which will speed up server deployment.
You can deploy multiple operating system technologies on a single hardware.
