“We wanted to move our physical infrastructure to be more secure but needed the right partner to work with. Orixcom proposed a colocation facility that suited our needs and supplied a dedicated connection to our hardware so we can access it quickly and securely. This has reduced our costs and increased our efficiency.”

Challenges
- Terra Firma had all their network and servers onsite and wanted to make their physical network more secure
- Traditionally businesses have kept their networks and physical hardware onsite in order to protect them however, this requires significant physical security due to the risk of theft, tampering or damage to hardware
- It also requires constant monitoring for security patch updates and in on premise locations there is often limited Disaster Recovery and Redundancy availability.
- As technology has evolved this is now seen as less secure due threats from to the robust infrastructure of modern data centres.
Solution
Orixcom proposed Colocation and Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) to help overcome their challenges:
- Moving physical hardware and servers into a colocation environment offers much higher security due to the robust infrastructure of modern data centres
- Colocation facilities also offer the latest technology in data centre cooling and power supplies which often makes networking costs cheaper than on premise
- DIA offers secure, highly available access from the business site to the physical servers and other devices
Outcomes and ROI
- Terra Firma now have the ability access and manage their applications globally
- Physical hardware now fully protected and secure in a colocation facility
- Highly secure data transmissions via DIA between servers and users
