Managed infrastructure as a service offers the power of the cloud—with a trusted partner that knows your business
When Exigent customers appealed to our team to offer cloud services they could trust, they were looking for 100% transparency, 99% or more uptime, and white-glove service by local experts. The result was Turnkey Cloud. With Exigent’s private cloud services, your organization can take advantage of the scalability and flexibility of infrastructure as a service, fully supported by our experienced team.
Our cloud computing infrastructure is owned, maintained, and supported by us and is often the perfect solution for businesses that:
- Want complete control over their data
- Need scalable solutions that flex with their changing business needs
- Expect white-glove support and service from a local team
- Need secure, highly available solutions for office, hybrid, and remote staff
- Enjoy predictable, subscription-based access to technology resources
Public Cloud Environments: What Are The Deficiencies?
Public cloud environments share resources between all subscribers through a third-party vendor (e.g., Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Workspace). While the public cloud model is generally more affordable than its private cloud counterpart, it begins to show deficiencies when your organization:
- Has more advanced cybersecurity or compliance needs (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOX)
- Needs a greater degree of control over hardware, software, and security configurations
- Suffers from performance issues, extended downtime, b-or support lapses due to resource sharing
Private Cloud Environments: What Are the Benefits?
Private cloud environments provide fully customized, dedicated infrastructure and resources for your organization. It offers the following benefits:
- Highest degree of security and compliance
- Full control of resource allocation and systems configuration
- Peace of mind for highly regulated industries (healthcare, financial, etc.)
TurnKey Cloud Security Features
Our primary New Jersey data center is in Morris County, New Jersey, located well above the FEMA 500-year flood plain. Our operations have proven their resiliency, remaining intact, dry, and accessible during all recent hurricanes and nor’easters, including Superstorm Sandy.
Our carrier-neutral New Jersey data center operation offers the following security features:
- Nondescript structure
- 24X7 staffed security
- Advanced video surveillance
- SSAE16, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 1&2
