Duncan’s appointment is a response to the growing customer and partner driven momentum for nScaled in EMEA. Duncan was previously a Technical Architect with SJ Berwin, one of the twenty largest law firms in Europe, where he was responsible for their data centre infrastructure across their 9 offices. Duncan’s presence will ensure that nScaled have enough staff to handle the increasing demand for cloud infrastructure-as-a-service in Europe.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/nscaled-keeps-growing-uk/)

[07 July 2011 — 1 min read ![Image 4: How To Not Lose Your Data](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/bd62a55daae50fdec0d6a6b238034607.png) More Than IaaS As you know by now, nScaled provides infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) for enterprise customers. Gartner’s name for the product category we’re in is “cloud infrastructure-as-a-service”. By now, most people are beginning to understand the differences amongst IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. A terrific illustration of the differences is here. But it’s not so simple (it rarely is, is it?). Because what we provide to our customers is definitely more than IaaS. Here are some examples: Hybrid architecture. When you think IaaS, you think either Public or Private cloud, and the marketing battle between proponents of the two models. Our attitude is that the only cloud model that actually makes sense for businesses is the hybrid model, combining on-premises appliances with on-demand cloud data centers. In our architecture, those two components behave like one single seamless cloud environment, all of it “inside the firewall”, all of it managed in a single console… Cloud Console. Our proprietary SaaS application gives our customers a web-based admin interface to configure, manage, analyze and report on their entire nScaled cloud environment. Tasks like recovering a lost file, or booting and failing-over to a continuity (disaster recovery) server require one click, as opposed to15 or 20 manual steps. It’s not a rebranded or warmed over interface from another vendor. It’s software that makes nScaled simple to manage and secure. Assurances. The image that public cloud has, especially after some recently publicized outages, is one of lack of reliability. The operating principle is, “You get what you pay for.” But nScaled goes way beyond this kind of cheap, commodity, caveat emptor approach. When we deploy customers, we test and certify all continuity servers that the customer sets up, assuring that they will work when called upon to do so. We also offer a strong services agreement that makes nScaled truly accountable to our customers. In short, saying that nScaled is an IaaS vendor is true, and a useful quick categorization, but it leaves out a lot of the nuance that makes our solutions different, and, we think, better.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/more-iaas/)

Natural disasters come to mind – tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods. When it comes to protecting data and maintaining operations, it is easy to see how things like natural disasters could impact a company’s ability to protect data and maintain operations.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/everyday-disasters/)

I say it was implied because the devil really is in the details. Most people would say they had a plan and could recover from an outage but few ever actually tested for the sake of proving the model. The presumption back in the early days was that you could always recover from tape and that if your data was backed up then the ability to recover from a disaster was implied. Given the technologies at the time along with slow WAN connections it was always understood that the concept of disaster recovery using tape was at best going to be a “best effort” kind of recovery.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/backup-strategies-are-component-larger-disaster-recovery-strategy/)

As you know, one of the things that nScaled does a bit differently from other cloud infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) providers is we implement a Hybrid architecture, with an nScaled Local Cloud Appliance installed on the customer’s LAN providing business continuity and local backup, plus the nScaled Remote Cloud Data Centers providing the scale-up / scale-out elastic capacity for backup, failover and test/dev.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/can-hardware-and-opex-work-together/)

But quite the opposite – it’s why we’re here.

[26 May 2011 — 1 min read ![Image 11: Enterprises Need Clouds, Not Droplets](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/8d171c9d5dce1ca04801e22dc732de75.png) Enterprises Need Clouds, Not Droplets I just read an interesting story about the Apache LibCloud project. It’s an interesting development in cloud computing for certain groups. But I don’t think mainstream enterprises aren’t one of those groups. Here’s why. LibCloud, and a lot of other cloud technology providers, are all about providing a la carte menus of commodity-priced, on-demand computing and storage that the customer can assemble into the solution they want. In other words, these providers aren’t actually supplying clouds. They’re supplying droplets of water vapor, requiring the customer to assemble them and turn them into clouds. That’s nuts if you’re the CIO of a business running a dozen critical business applications. If you’re that CIO, migrating to the cloud requires a complete, dependable stack, ready and waiting for your business applications. It requires the same enterprise tested technologies and brands for hardware, VM, networking, etc. that you already use. It requires a bullet-proof enterprise services agreement that actually protects you in case the vendor has a problem, not the “tough luck” click-wrap agreement that some commodity cloud providers force on you. More power to the developers out there who dig LibCloud. But woe betide the CIO who gets caught up in that stuff.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/enterprises-need-clouds-not-droplets/)

We hope that they keep cool heads and not panic. Too many of the stories being written about Amazon imply that all cloud data centers are alike, and thus prone to the same problems. Of course this is not true.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/why-amazon-outage-not-end-cloud/)
