Incident Management and Response

Oscar Wilde said, “To expect the unexpected shows a thoroughly modern intellect”. That is as true today as it was in the 1880s. Occasionally the apparently impossible can happen – and when it does, it can have disastrous consequences. You may have read a recent news story about a sacked IT employee who annihilated twenty three of his former employer’s servers on AWS cloud. The estimated loss to his digital marketing and software employer was £500,000. One of our clients suffered a similar loss a few years ago, where a disgruntled employee wiped out important data from production...

Before your non-profit can begin to adopt many of these exciting new ideas though, you will need to follow the approach of our client...

What is DevOps?

It may be hard to Define, but you’ll know it when you see it.

If everything in your world is streamlined and flawless, then you probably don’t need devops – if on the other hand you encounter the occasional bottleneck, or feel you can’t get work done because you’re always fire-fighting, or find errors end in battles between your devs and your ops, then read on…

Web Security – how vulnerable are you?

We all tend to be blasé about security until we’re attacked.

Whether it’s your personal possessions, your home, your website, or your servers – we find it natural to be open and generous until the attacker strikes, then, feeling violated we finally put up alarms and defences, and wonder why on earth we didn’t take reasonable precautions in advance.

2nd Generation Turbo Cloud

We launched our Turbo Cloud at the beginning of 2014, bringing online a fleet of brand new Dell R620 1u servers loaded with super fast hardware.

We’re now excited to announce the general availability of our 2nd generation Turbo cloud platform! The biggest change is that we’ve switched away from Dell to Supermicro, giving us more fine grained control over the internal components. We’re now also using a 2u chassis, allowing for up to 24 2.5" drives, significantly more than the 8 available in an R620.
