LONDON (Alliance News) - Online security firm NCC Group PLC Thursday said it has launched its SaaS Assured service, which is aimed at encouraging businesses to utilise cloud computing.
The new service will allow users to continue to access software-as-a-service applications in the Cloud is the provider of those applications fails; many businesses now store, access and create content via software applications hosted online, and then stored in data centres. However, if the provider of those applications were to fail they would loose access to those services that might be integral to their business.
According to NCC, the service enables businesses to access software applications and extract their data in this eventuality.
Citing a recent estimate that 25% of cloud computing companies might not exist by 2015, NCC said its service could provide "continuity" to businesses that are on the cloud.
"Through SaaS Assured, we can continue to provide our trusted level of assurance to all customers, however their crucial software and data is provided. Hosting and cloud service providers are not failsafe and businesses can now ensure that their critical applications can be recovered should the worst happen," Rob Cotton, Chief Executive, said in a statement.
"We believe that SaaS Assured removes one of the biggest barriers to wider cloud adoption by businesses. It adds value to the cloud proposition for both providers and customers," Cotton added.
NCC shares were Thursday quoted at 200.00 pence, down 0.25 pence, or 0.1%.
