Virtual Network Drive

A Virtual Network Drive allows you to store your data at a remote, secure location using your existing broadband connection. The service can be mapped as a normal network drive, appearing on your Windows computer with its own drive letter. The service is also compatible with Mac OS X and Linux.

This is particularly suitable for customers who work from more than one place but wish to have access to all their data from wherever they are. It is also useful for small companies that might have a number of offices and/or a number of teleworking staff. It eliminates the need to run your own file server, which more often than not cannot be accessed from outside the office in which it resides.

Technical specifications include:

  • Normal Windows filesharing protocol, compatible with Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
  • High availability storage systems with redundant hardware.
  • Redundant network connections and high bandwidth ensuring maximum availability.
  • Failsafe power systems right down to diesel generators ensuring uninterruptible power supply.
  • Premium quality security systems, both physical and electronic.
  • GM200 fire suppressant system protecting the servers that hold your data.
