24/7 Uptime selected as high availability hosting providers by Secure Thinking

Sept. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- 24/7 Uptime, leading UK high availability and disaster recovery specialists, are providing high availability hosting for a new online security awareness training service.

STeducate from Secure Thinking is designed to help both private and public sector organisations to raise awareness of information security and properly manage threats by educating their staff.  The system runs on iWebgate technology and allows secure access to generic or bespoke training courses.

Lee Hezzlewood, CEO of Secure Thinking, explains why he chose 247host from 24/7 Uptime: "Once theh platform was decided, we had to choose how to host the service.  We considered a number of options including hosting the system ourselves or placing it with a cloud hosting provider.  However, after careful consideration, we approached 24/7 Uptime to see if they would be willing to provide the hosting services out of their Manchester data centre.  247host provides the highest possible levels of availability and we like 24/7 Uptime's attitude towards security.  We have been seriously impressed with their response times - they've been amazing.  We believe there is excellent potential here for a very strong ongoing relationship."

Tracy Barlow, Marketing Director of 24/7 Uptime, confirms: "We already work with clients to ensure their in-house technology doesn't experience downtime.  With 247host we have installed specialist technology on servers within a modern, secure Manchester data centre.  This means clients enjoy standard data centre resilience in terms of connectivity, air conditioning and power - but with added protection at hardware level.  This technology is usually applied to environments that require absolute zero downtime such as military, government and medical applications.  This makes it an incredibly reliable hosting solution.  It's available on a very competitive monthly subscription basis and is attracting lots of interest."
