Secure Cloud Services and Solutions that transform business, to the brave new world of 'information everywhere'.

Stream Networks Cloud solutions encompass Virtual Servers, Cloud Storage, Cloud Back-up, Hosted Exchange, Email Security, Office 365 and our Self Service Cloud portal vNebula.

Stream Networks operate our own Cloud infrastructure which is hosted an ex MOD Bunker just outside Newbury and two London Datacentres.

Using the latest server and storage technology, High availability VMware hypervisors, Cisco routing, firewall and network topology, businesses can now take advantage of the Cloud knowing that an established and dedicated business provider is taking care of the infrastructure and importantly all data remains in the UK.

The investment made by Stream Networks allows specific Cloud instances to be enabled for individual businesses delivering the applications they require and the flexibility of being able to customise the applications; so all the advantages of having a dedicated server, but this time in the Cloud and from a company who will provide all the support and maintenance required. Each instance is fully secure and no other users of the platform will be able to access data held on other instances.

The business benefits can be summarised as follows:


• Extend the life of existing desktop hardware
• Centralised hosting based and replicated in the UK
• Disaster recovery
• Easier deployment and upgrades to meet business requirements
• Minimal set-up costs and reduced operational costs
• Modern technology continually upgraded by Stream Networks with no cost implication
• Supported by Stream Networks technical team

The Stream Networks Secure Cloud allows business to move IT infrastructure off-site in to secure, resilient, super fast, PCI DSS compliant Data Centre environment, allowing business to leverage N+1 designed infrastructure without N+1 capital expenditure.

The Virtual Server Farm (VSF) is a VMware based environment with multiple servers connected through high speed switches to a centralised intelligent SAN's utilising RAID technology and solid state disks for performance data store.

This then provides the advantage of being able to allocate additional processor, memory and storage resources with ease rather than having to upgrade traditional physical servers. Dynamic resource allocation ensures the VSF is operating efficiently and assigning resources even during maintenance operations. The VSF is replicated to another SAN for security but all data remains in the UK and under control of Stream Networks.

All Virtual Cloud Servers include

• Dynamic Resource Allocation
• Automatic Physical Host Failover
• SAN Storage replicated offsite daily on 7 day retention policy
• Capacity Planning
• Back-up Power
• Monitored 24x7
