Cloud outage continuity

Keep working.
Even when the
cloud doesn’t.

Your business runs in the cloud. Its ability to keep working shouldn’t depend on it.

A local continuity appliance keeps a synchronised, usable copy of agreed Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace data on your premises — with open-source services ready to support your team when the cloud is unavailable.

Local capability.
When it matters most.

A cloud outage becomes an operational problem when your people cannot reach the information they need. We put an alternative within reach: local data, local services and a plan your team can use.

Data custody. By design.

The cloud is useful.
Control is essential.

A copy on infrastructure you control changes the conversation. It gives your business a local operating option, visibility over its data and a route forward that is built on open standards.

Why we built this approach
01

Keep a copy close

Agreed cloud data is held on hardware at your premises, under your organisation’s control.

02

Choose open foundations

Established FOSS projects, standard protocols and portable data help you avoid dependence on a proprietary appliance software stack.

03

Control the connection

A physical isolation control separates the appliance’s cloud link while retaining the local network path your users need.

Engineered around your organisation

The right appliance.
For your working world.

User numbers, data volumes, selected services and acceptable downtime determine the specification. We size the hardware to the job.

Compare deployment options
OFFICE

A focused local environment.

For a single office and a defined set of critical services.

BUSINESS

More people. More data.

For broader service coverage and heavier concurrent workloads.

MULTI-SITE

Continuity across locations.

For organisations that need a site-by-site continuation design.

Local capability. Wider control.

Your knowledge.
Your decisions.

Cloud continuity is part of a wider choice: where your data is held, how it is used and which services your working day depends on.

Plan for the moment you need it

When the cloud stops,
your business shouldn’t.

Let’s define what your team needs to keep doing — and put a practical continuation plan in place.
