Virtual datacentre as a service

Our Virtual Data Centre as a Service (VDCaaS) is hosted in our Tier 3, ISO27001 facilities. It allows you to launch your Private Cloud quickly and effectively, thereby delivering increased business agility, higher quality of service, and faster time to market.

With automated provisioning and management, you can harness the benefits of private cloud-hosted infrastructure and share them with your business lines, reducing operational costs, and simplifying management.

Tecala’s VDCaaS enhances your ability to be dynamic – allowing you to react faster to evolving technology solutions and business markets.

Infrastructure as a Service

Tecala’s Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) allows you to outsource the management and continual optimisation of your primary servers and storage infrastructure to us, while you focus on your core business.

We bring together the best balance of talent and operational excellence in capacity planning, management, and monitoring to ensure everything from your storage through to individual workload is “always-on”.

Our management portal gives you full visibility of your service, allowing you to set alerts for fault management notification, critical failure, or thresholds being breached via e-mail, SMS, or phone.

Backup as a Service (baaS) and Data Protection as a Service (DPAAs)

Tecala delivers various levels of backup, disaster recovery, and infrastructure-as-a-service, with features and pricing to match the varying needs of customers.

Our BUaaS ensures your daily backup jobs are executed reliably with a <0.1% fail rate, and our cloud DPaaS services ensures complete data integrity, including pro-active monitoring of backups, network protection software, and vendor patches.

With Tecala running these important daily tasks you can focus on your core business activities and leave this routine task in our very capable hands.

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is not something you hope to use, but is a vital component of any ICT strategy. By managing your DR environment we remove the administrative burden and ensure does exactly what it needs to do when it’s needed.

Our service is an affordable managed solution that ensures availability for mission critical applications in the event of an unforeseen disaster striking a production infrastructure or facility.

With failover for your onsite or cloud-based servers provisioned from our secure Australian data centres, your defined recovery point and recovery time objectives are always met in the event of emergency – thus minimising downtime.

SaaS and Application Support

SaaS has now reached tipping point, with many of the business critical applications being used to drive your business performance consumed from the cloud. These include your every-day Microsoft O365 applications, but will also extend to your Teams for Voice platform, your Sharepoint and your Automation Services such as AI and workflow automation.

Because we take an application and workload approach to configuring your cloud service model, our SaaS Applications Support team ensures you have the skills and 24/7 support on demand to ensure you always get optimal performance from your business critical applications.

cloud migration services

Fit and agile organisations need to be able to respond to changing market conditions. And your ability to change and innovate quickly depends on the speed and efficiency of your platform migration and modernisation.

Our services team can migrate different types of platforms to keep them updated and delivering value, including AWS and Azure migrations. Forget the complexities of Azure migration assistant tools – we manage the whole process for you.

This ensures your IT infrastructure is continually being optimised so it is in lock-step with your business strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a ‘Private Cloud’?

  1. A private cloud refers to cloud computing services used exclusively by a single organisation. It may be owned, managed and operated by the organisation, a third party (like Tecala) or some combination of the two, and it may exist on or off the premises. Organisations that need complete autonomy, control and peak performance in their cloud will choose this model.

How is ‘Private Cloud’ different to other types of cloud?

  1. There are three main types of cloud models that deliver different types of services: public, private and hybrid/multi-cloud
  2. Public clouds are operated and owned by cloud service providers, who deliver their computing resources and storage over the internet. Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure are three good examples.
  3. A private cloud refers to cloud computing services used exclusively by a single organisation. It may be owned, managed and operated by the organisation, a third party, or some combination of the two, and it may exist on or off the premises.
  4. Hybrid Clouds and Multi-Clouds offer the flexibility to move workloads between cloud solutions as needs and costs fluctuate.

Does a ‘Private Cloud’ have to be managed on site?

  1. A private cloud is a dedicated environment reserved solely for a single business entity or organization. The cloud infrastructure may be managed by the organization or a third-party cloud service provider and may exist on premise or off premise
  2. Tecala’s VDaaS delivers virtual infrastructure from our own Tier 3+ ISO27001 accredited facilities, via our high-speed and secure communications network. So they’re housed at ‘our place’ and delivered ‘to your place’. For some clients we manage their own infrastructure at ‘their place’.

What type of cloud computing services model is right for me?

  1. Organisations that need complete autonomy and control in their cloud will choose a Private Cloud model. The public cloud is ideal for organisations who need or want to consume software, platforms and IT ‘as a service’, and want little or no physical interaction with the actual ‘tin, wires and boxes’.
  2. Hybrid Clouds and Multi-Clouds offer the best of all clouds giving you the flexibility to move workloads between cloud solutions as needs and costs fluctuate. Organisations that need the right type of cloud architecture for each of their applications, or for whom application, system or platform performance is paramount, will choose hybrid or multi-cloud.

Is the cloud secure?

  1. The cloud is not ‘inherently’ secure which is why if you choose to adopt a cloud services model you must choose a partner that can deliver cyber security as part of their managed cloud service.
  2. Even with the alarming regularity of cyber-attacks, 62% of small and mid-size businesses still don’t have an adequate or active cybersecurity strategy in place. And many have no strategy at all.
  3. With security delivered as a service, you benefit from a combined approach including site and cloud security, ensuring your business stays safe from malicious attack.

What questions should I be asking before I consider moving to the cloud?

  1. Tecala has developed a ‘Cloud Best Practice: A top ten checklist’ that guides you through the questions and considerations you need to be abreast of. It tells you how to assess which cloud model will be a right fit for your objectives; how your data sovereignty, security and authentication needs should be managed, and what kind of support you’ll need.
  2. Download the Checklist here.

How do I develop a cloud strategy?

  1. Selecting the right cloud for your business starts with assessing your business requirements for cloud services. Make sure you explore the technical components of moving to the cloud and ensure you are matching your requirements to the right cloud capabilities, so you reduce costs, maximise performance and minimise (or completely remove) risk.
  2. For a detailed guide on Selecting the right cloud for your business, download our guide.

Are there any disadvantages to ‘Private Cloud’?

  1. The main disadvantage is the higher cost - In general, private clouds services are more expensive than public because they require both hardware and maintenance. But with Tecala delivering and managing your Private Cloud you are assured of receiving the most cost-effective service, which will include the hardware as well as the operating system and licenses for software applications.
