Resilience is part of the ebrc genome. This concept has been transposed from the Datacenter world into the cloud concept.

ebrc Trusted Cloud is built to ensure the security and the integrity of the hosted data: it is aimed to enterprises having to manage sensitive data or critical business IT systems.

ebrc manages the entire stack of the solution, from the Datacenter until the hypervisor layer. Having a single integrator managing its IT infrastructure ensures ebrc Clients to keep an effective control on their IT systems.

Solid building blocks and solid procedures

ebrc Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is based on solid building blocks: it uses first-class hardware for the networking, the storage and the computing resources, and is based on a solid hypervisor.

For security and redundancy reasons, these equipments are hosted in two of ebrc Luxembourg Tier IV Datacenters. These hardware and software blocks are operated following ebrc best standard practices to deliver reliable services.

ebrc works in accordance with ITIL: 80% of our staff is certified.
ebrc is ISO 20000 and ISO 27001:2005 certified.

No vendor lock-in

Flexibility, fast implementation and scalability are three keywords which qualify the ebrc Trusted Cloud : the Client may focus on his core business and its own challenges.

Pay-as-you-go and shift from Capex to Opex

ebrc Trusted Cloud is based on a pay-as-you-use concept: the costs become variable and follow the business variation. These amounts are strongly reduced, not only through ebrc ability to consolidate, but mostly thanks to the standardisation of the operation management of IaaS platform.

Trust requires well defined SLA's: ebrc Trusted Cloud services are based on strong SLA's implemented on relevant KPI's. These SLA's are clearly translated in a contract which covers the entire IT life cycle, from the project initiation until the reversibility clause.

Beside the physical security inherited from the housing in a Tier IV Datacenter, the security is strengthened by the operational processes and by an adequate IT design.

Each Client is hosted in its own isolated Trusted Cloud, walled from outside in its own DMZ and in its private VLAN's.

Security - an example : a strong authentification service is provided to secure the Trusted Cloud access.
