Add-Ons
Backup and Snapshots
Backup enables you to remotely backup and restore your virtual server data. The automated process is set to run out of hours to ensure minimal impact, while incremental backups ensure faster results. The service provides to databases and applications, as well as standard file systems.
Snapshot allows you to create snapshots of servers at any time. You can make one snapshot at a time for each virtual server and keep them for up to 24 hours unless overwritten by another snapshot. If something goes wrong, you can restore your virtual server – within the lifespan of the snapshot – to its state when the snapshot was taken.
Storage
We offer two types of storage using fully automated dynamic tiering which moves hot data to higher-performance storage and inactive data to high-capacity storage. It includes:
Active storage tier is ideal for standard, intense file, print and mixed workloads
Performance storage tier delivers the fastest IOPS for hot data with demanding workloads such as databases and business analytics.
Security Services
Firewall
Firewalls can be configured by you to allow or deny traffic through groups or individual virtual servers.
The firewall allows you to allocate one or more virtual servers to define trust zones, and ensure access to the trust zones is controlled and monitored through established security policies.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) VPN lets you remotely and securely manage individual virtual servers.
Network Services
There are a number of features you can customize to manage traffic flow, privacy and security of your data in the Telstra cloud. Internet access is automatically enabled by a range of network add-ons available.
Dual homing allows a single server to be accessed via both public and private network connections, and communicate with virtual servers in both your public and private networks.
When you connect with Intouch ICT, you connect to ultra-modern, data centres and carrier-grade fibre network. This means you experience cloud as it was meant to be endured.
