C4L would like to extend an invite to our upcoming webinar, which will explore the variations between Public, Private and Hybrid cloud models, as well as the advantages of each.
Whilst many organisations are considering the adoption of a cloud computing strategy, the true definitions of cloud models are often used interchangeably, and incorrectly, by many organisations.
This webinar will uncover the true meaning of Public, Private and Hybrid cloud computing models, as well as providing some useful tips on considerations that should be made when assessing any of these approaches as a means of moving your business operations to the cloud.
The webinar will last approximately 15-20 minutes and will be followed by a Q&A with C4L’s cloud experts. We will also be holding the webinar twice to make it that little bit easier for you to attend…
The webinar will first be held on Tuesday 29th May at 11am. To register please click here
The webinar will be held for a second time on Thursday 31st May at 3pm. To register please click here
We look forward to seeing you there!

At C4L we understand that the topic of cloud computing often raises a number of questions and issues surrounding security. As a result of this, we thought it useful to identify a few top security tips that every organisation should consider when making the transition to cloud computing…
- Ensure that you know the details and in-depth information about your provider’s security infrastructure. Can your provider tell you where your data is kept?
- Do not put private information in the cloud unless you intend to encrypt your information.
- It is advised that an equal share of responsibilities is split between your administrators and the cloud provider’s administrators. This guarantees that no one party has direct access across all security levels.
- Confirm that the cloud service provider you use has the necessary accreditations to meet security standards. It is important to note that International companies must certify that the provider has a European Safe Harbor accreditation alongside an ISO / IEC 27001.
- To guarantee a secure provider, it may be best to opt for a high-end or industry established supplier.

As the countdown to the Olympics draws ever nearer to the opening ceremony, it has been reported by Comms Business that businesses are moving with haste to safeguard their IT provisions to minimise disruption. As a result of this, companies looking to expand their colocation presence are surging towards avoiding London and the limited power resource within the M25, and instead are opting for alternative data centre locations.
At C4L we can provide unparallel choice of location as we have a presence in over 40 UK data centres and at each of these sites we can provide high-speed connectivity, to and from London, via our multi-Terabit capable network. For more information on our data centre locations click here.
