Workflow Virtualization in the Cloud

Virtualization isn’t a hard concept. It’s basically putting your server or the “brains” of your computer into the cloud, so you can take advantage of the superior business continuity, mobility, and computing power of the cloud.

Very often, IT services providers talk about Server Virtualization or Desktop Virtualization, but what it comes down to is Workflow Virtualization – moving your workflow into the cloud.

Why would you want to do that?

• Always-on, Anywhere Access
• Disaster Proof
• Built-in Backup
• Use Any Internet-Connected Device
• Easy to Deploy for New Employees
• Simple to Provision Remote/Work-from-Home Employees

Using the trusted platforms of Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services, we can give you workflow that is more secure than your current system and isn’t tied to your physical location.

Cloud-Based Office Productivity – Microsoft 365

You’re likely very familiar with Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365). It’s a cloud-based platform full of every-day office productivity apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Echelon works to secure, configure, and optimize Microsoft 365 to your processes while ensuring compliance with legislative and industry standards.

Data Backup and Disaster Recovery in the Cloud

IT specialists are all agreed that the cloud plays an integral role in the backup, preservation, and security of data backup. We employ file-level and image backups. Recovery time is generally very quick. We keep multiple recovery points of both solutions to allow for many different recovery options. This is critical for any response to a potential ransomware attack.

By using the redundancy of both on-site and cloud backup systems, your company has the flexibility of recovering lost data quickly from an on-site backup appliance or recovering/using your entire workflow within a cloud environment from any location.
