Our solution

Cloud Storage

Cloud storage is a vital part of any modern data strategy, enabling authorised employees to access critical business information securely from anywhere. By storing data in the cloud, businesses gain flexibility, scalability, and improved collaboration — all while reducing dependence on physical infrastructure.

At IP Dimension, we offer a range of Azure-powered cloud storage solutions tailored to different needs. These include Azure Disk Storage for secure read-only access on Windows and Linux systems, Azure Blob Storage for unstructured data, and Azure Data Lake Storage for role-based access to datasets of all sizes. We also support Azure Files for shared file access, Azure NetApp Files for high-volume hierarchical storage, and Data Box, a secure method of transferring large volumes of data to the cloud efficiently.

Policies & Regulations

As part of business continuity, organisations need to implement certain policies and disaster recovery plans that ultimately forms part of their business plans. Insurance providers require companies to adhere to certain standards in order to ensure business continuity and minimise the possibility of risk.

IP Dimension has assisted many a client with compiling, structuring, and implementing backup and disaster recovery plans and policies that follow guidelines as set out in the well known ITIL (Information Technology Information Library) standards. This aids companies in ultimately achieving their ISO standards if that is a requirement.

Furthermore, these policies are revisited regularly to confirm validity and applicability to the customer environment. Disasters are simulated and recovery plans tested against the simulation to validate the policies and procedures.

NAS, storage servers, etc.

NAS, which stands for network-attached storage. Is dedicated to storing unstructured data, like files, audio, data, video and much more. Making it ideal to use in both your house and work life. NAS, when used at work can be used as a secure and remote data/file storage device that employees can connect to via a web-based application to retrieve the information that they’re looking for.

Storage servers are servers that are only used for storing all your data, they are multipurpose storage servers. You can use a storage server as your central point of storage for all your data, files and more.

This enables a quick and easy way to retrieve certain data or files to carry out an action on various tasks at work for your daily workload or to help your clients. Should you run out of storage, it is easy to upgrade the storage space.

Hybrid Cloud Strategies

Hybrid cloud strategies make use of both private and public clouds to store data, which is used on-premises and off-premises. These clouds are then connected to one another.

This essentially allows you to quickly and with ease move the data from the public cloud to the private cloud. In-demand hybrid cloud strategies include Azure hybrid and AWS systems.

IP Dimension have several hybrid-cloud strategists who are ready to assist you through the process of implementing your hybrid-cloud strategy. To truly benefit from hybrid cloud strategies, you must employ hybrid cloud strategists that have experience in the best practices for hybrid cloud strategies.

BaaS & DRaaS

Backup as a service (BaaS) is an approach to backing up data that involves purchasing backup and recovery services from an online data backup provider. Instead of performing backup with a centralised, on-premises IT department, BaaS connects systems to a private, public or hybrid cloud managed by the outside provider.

BaaS is crucial for any critical application and compliant IT infrastructure. It frees up IT resources and allows frontline technicians and managers to focus on core activities, rather than repetitive tasks like storage provisioning.

DRaaS refers to disaster recovery as a service. This technology allows companies to run critical applications in an environment that replicates them, ensuring an “always on” experience. In the event of a primary system outage, the disaster recovery environment seamlessly continues operations. DRaaS is commonly used for hosting customer-facing web platforms and can also support testing environments or serve as a failover for core business apps.
