Flexability With Predictable Cost

Migrating to Nexstor Cloud
We believe that migrating away from your existing, on-premise IT function should not be a backward step in terms of security, availability and costs; choosing a private cloud provider over one of the big three public cloud vendors, enables you to continue working with your current business process. We understand that every business has unique requirements, one size does not fit all, and the private approach allows Nexstor to exceed our client's expectations.

The Architecture
Nexstor.cloud is powered by software from the leading virtualisation vendor in the market – VMware. Thousands of businesses around the world trust VMware vSphere with their business-critical applications – and we do to. Nexstor.cloud utilises the full range of VMware products to deliver a rock-solid service to our customers, including vSphere, NSX and Operations Manager.
Our customers access the service through a dedicated portal which presents a familiar VMware-type interface – and unlike some other vendors allows you to directly access a virtual machines console as if you were sat in front of it.
Every component of nexstor.cloud – from power delivery to network connectivity is resilient and designed specifically for high availability. Our cloud platform uses industry best practises to ensure your virtual machines are always available.
Unlike some other vendors our standard tier of availability ensures we have two copies of your data synchronously replicated between our all-flash storage tiers. By utilising the high-availability features of vSphere (such as HA and DRS) Nexstor.cd ensures the maximum uptime for your data – even during maintenance windows.
For an additional cost your data can be further replicated to a secondary data centre which mirrors the architecture of the primary.
Security Features:
- RBAC (Role Based Access Control)
- Vulnerability scanning
- SSL-VPN
- Deep-packet inspection for intrusion detection and more
- Detailed firewall and log events
