Novosco announces a major expansion of its cloud computing platform.

June 7th 2012 – Novosco today formally launched its newly revamped range of enterprise-class cloud computing services covering the full range of Software-as-a-Service (applications on demand), Infrastructure-as-a-Service (server compute and storage on demand), plus backup, security and resilient connectivity to the Internet.

Novosco’s Enterprise Cloud Services help organisations to achieve cost savings and leverage the efficiency of a fully managed cloud environment with enterprise class availability, reliability and security.  Built on best-in-class technologies from VMware, Cisco and EMC, Novosco’s Enterprise Cloud Services deliver managed compute, network, storage and security services that support customer production environments.  Novosco is also upgrading and extending its CloudStream™ Net and CloudStream™ Backup solutions, for resilient client-side connectivity and VMware-aware optimized backup.

In addition to a significant investment in terms of its compute, storage, network and co-location facilities, Novosco has partnered with Hibernia Atlantic to connect its two main data centre locations in Park West and Clonshaugh in Dublin, over high speed data connections, to facilitate complete resilience and data centre independence.  With the addition of Hibernia’s secure connectivity, Novosco has also increased its capacity via a diverse ring topology throughout Europe, including routes linking Dublin, Belfast and London, as well as extending its national coverage by using Hibernia’s network to access key telecommunication exchanges.

“By and large, our enterprise customers have been cautious to date about adopting externally hosted cloud services.  For them to adopt such solutions, the security, resilience and flexibility has to be better and more cost effective than anything they can build on-premise”, said Patrick McAliskey, Managing Director of Novosco. “With the advent of our new and improved cloud offerings, that is now a reality.”

The new converged infrastructure system integrates compute, network, storage, virtualisation, and management components from trusted, industry leading vendors. This includes virtualisation software from VMware, server and networking hardware from Cisco Systems and storage hardware from EMC.

In addition to its new infrastructure service, Novosco also maintains a strategic partnership with VCE and supplies the VBlock™ Infrastructure Platform to help customers accelerate their journey to the cloud.  “We came to the conclusion that the VBlock™ platform is the best platform on the market on which to build scalable private clouds,” McAliskey said.

Meanwhile, Novosco’s traditional systems integration and IT outsourcing business was “as strong as it has ever been,” he said.

He expected some time to pass before cloud computing became the norm. For now, he said, Novosco would focus on developing a “trusted cloud” model to help migrate enterprise customers into the growing trend of consuming externally hosted cloud services.

Dublin, 9^th December 2011 – SIAC, one of Ireland’s largest construction groups, have chosen Novosco to provide a customised private cloud infrastructure, to support their collaborative motorway construction project in Debica, Poland.  These motorway upgrades are being undertaken in preparation for the country’s hosting of the Euro 2012 football tournament.

Construction companies from Ireland have been shown to have some of the best résumés in Europe for motorway construction. Amid fierce competition SIAC closed the €350m contract for a stretch of Poland’s A4 Autostrada. This motorway runs along the south-east of Poland and is part of the E40 route, the longest motorway in Europe running from Calais to Ridder in Kazakhstan.

SIAC were awarded the contract, the Group’s largest ever, in a joint venture with one of Poland’s largest contractors, PBG. The 35 km motorway from Kryz to Debica in Poland is valued at ca. 1.4 billion Zloty (or approx. €356M) and is scheduled to be completed in 24 months.

A cloud solution was chosen to provide a common infrastructure, with equal access to information and information governance for both parties.  It also provides greater security and reliability of centralised backup and disaster recovery than locally based servers. Novosco solved the challenges of the project by leveraging its existing virtual platform to provide the server-side computing infrastructure.  This private cloud platform is located at Novosco’s primary data centre location in Dublin with the site offices in Poland accessing the data centre over the Internet via secure VPN.

“Novosco’s private cloud solution was attractive to us for a number of reasons,” says Eamonn Buckley, group IS & IT manager for SIAC Construction Ltd. “Firstly, it allowed us to deploy the infrastructure in a fraction of the time that a conventional hardware rollout would have taken. Another major benefit of this solution is that we only pay for our consumption within a given month.  Novosco ensure that we always have enough head room when things get busy but conversely, we do not need to pay for that extra capacity when it is not needed.  It also avoided the issue of who owns the hardware, during the project and after the project has been completed.  This can sometimes be a bone of contention on collaborative projects such as this.  Finally, the fact that all of the infrastructure required for this project is being paid for out of operating expenditure instead of capital expenditure was of major benefit”

Eddie O’Rourke, Sales Director with Novosco, pointed to the SIAC project as a signal of wider interest in cloud computing in the Irish marketplace, “This year we have seen a dramatic upward trend in enterprise organisations who want to explore the tangible benefits of cloud computing.  For businesses such as SIAC, it makes a lot of sense to leverage existing virtual real estate as a service, rather than having to worry about acquiring and managing infrastructure that will only be needed for the finite duration of a project.  Another common use-case we are seeing is the use of cloud computing for the purposes of disaster recovery.  People who have already virtualised their server estate can now replicate their virtual servers to an external provider, such as ourselves.  These virtual servers can then be powered up on our platform in the case of a disaster at the primary site.  For smaller businesses, we have seen exponential growth in our CloudStream Apps platform which is designed to completely outsource the delivery of all business applications to staff and partners.”

About the SIAC Construction Group

Founded in 1913, SIAC’s business has grown through their reputation for delivering quality projects that always meet and often exceed clients’ expectations. SIAC are now one of Ireland’s largestcontractors and have built a strong reputation and growing business in Ireland and the UK.

Tayto collaborates with Novosco to drive Green IT agenda

Belfast, July 2011- Novosco, Ireland’s leading provider of virtual and cloud IT infrastructure and services, today announced it has completed the first phase implementation of Tayto Group’s “Green IT” overhaul of back office systems.

Built on VMware’s vSphere Cloud Operating System and EMC’s Celerra storage platform, Tayto Group has now virtualised a significant amount of its legacy server estate. This centralised approach affords the company greater flexibility in the deployment of servers and systems. Servers that had previously taken days and weeks to deploy can now be commissioned in a matter of hours. Moreover, fewer physical devices means reductions in maintenance combined with greater operational efficiencies. All of this can be delivered, whilst allowing the company to reduce its carbon footprint.

: L-R: Christopher Milligan, IT Systems and Infrastructure Manager (Tayto Group Ltd) and Ellen Dickson, Account Manager (Novosco)

This change in how ICT is deployed within Tayto Group has allowed the company to expedite certain strategic operational projects, such as the deployment of production systems, and most recently, the delivery of video conferencing between various production sites.

Christopher Milligan, Tayto Group IT Systems and Infrastructure Manager said, “Novosco, as an innovative local company, was an obvious choice for Tayto in this project as their business values closely mirror our own. Novosco’s experience in virtualising large scale enterprise environments has helped us adopt a more flexible ICT agenda between the main parts of the company, whilst allowing us to proactively reduce our carbon footprint not least from the time, effort and financial savings from our new video conferencing solution.”

Patrick McAliskey, Novosco Managing Director said “Tayto is undoubtedly one of Northern Ireland’s most instantly recognisable and beloved brands, with whom we have happily worked with for many years now. In the current economic climate, companies, including Tayto Group, need to be flexible and proactive in their approach. We are certain that Tayto’s approach will allow them to do just that. Novosco has provided the best possible technical advice to Tayto on a competitive basis to all levels within the company, and we will certainly continue to do so.”

Templeton Robinson nominates Novosco as its ICT Partner for its business

Belfast, June 2011 - Novosco, Ireland’s leading provider of virtual and cloud IT infrastructure and services, today announced it has been appointed to host and maintain the back office ICT systems, and Wide Area Network links for Northern Ireland based estate agency Templeton Robinson.

A period of sustained growth for the company, coupled with the focus on transacting properties meant that IT was often neglected. This led to the contradictory situation of an increased reliance on IT services, whilst being unable to focus on hardware refresh, software upgrade and constant training.

Keith Mitchell, Partner (Templeton Robinson) and David Maginnes, Account Manager (Novosco)

After testing the market, Templeton Robinson opted to host all back office IT systems in the Novosco DataCentre, coupled with the CloudStream™ platform for WAN connectivity between the company’s sites. This was all backed up with a fully managed service offering to ensure that business critical applications, such as email and property databases, are available at all times.

The flexibility of this approach will allow Templeton Robinson to concentrate on its core business of transacting properties for the next three years. It will also afford management with greater control over the support and control of the environment, with the potential for new and improved services delivered as budgets and demands dictate.

Keith Mitchell, Partner with Templeton Robinson said “Novosco’s cloud computing based solution set gives us the much needed flexibility to cope with changes in how we run our business. By hosting the IT infrastructure with Novosco, we can scale our operations upwards and downwards as needed, whilst being able to accurately budget against this on a monthly basis. This is particularly important in the current market.”

Patrick McAliskey, Novosco Managing Director said “The challenges facing Templeton Robinson are similar to those facing many other companies. The ability to provide a dynamic and scalable IT infrastructure will be closely linked to Templeton Robinson’s success. We look forward to helping Keith and his team achieve this”.

A period of sustained growth for the company, coupled with continued expansion in the Scottish market meant decisions had to be made around how best to implement a secure, scalable infrastructure as well as flexible and reliable connectivity between all sites in both territories. After examining the existing infrastructure and going to market, Gordons Chemists decided on the Novosco CloudStream™ range of services to provide the primary connectivity, edge security and filtering services for all branches.

The CloudStream™ offering provides Gordons Chemists with a scalable WAN platform, with greater security and enhanced capability to transfer of information throughout all branches.  As well as these benefits, the CloudStream™ based Wide Area Network allows increase performance in connection speed to branches all whilst removing the overhead of internal management of the network.

The flexibility of the CloudStream™ offering allows additional improvements to corporate services, such as Voice over IP (VOIP) telephony and Backup as a Service (BAAS) across all branches in the future.

Patrick McAliskey, Novosco Managing Director said “The challenges facing Gordons Chemists are similar to those facing many other companies. The ability to provide a secure, dynamic and scalable WAN infrastructure will be intrinsically linked to their well deserved success. By doing more within their current budgets we feel we have helped them achieve more than had been envisaged. We look forward to working with Gordons Chemists in the upcoming months and years.”
