Education, Enablement and Empowerment – This is a 3 pronged approach which we believe will help clients get the most out of Cloud
With Singapore businesses losing $S1.3b in 2014 due to data loss and downtime, security is no longer an option nor an afterthought. iWV helps clients ring-fence their IT infrastructure and monitor the bits and bytes flowing out of their network through Data Leak Protection (DLP). With data at the heart of every business, iWV provides cloud-based backup solutions which enable proactive, remote administration and monitoring of backup processes through Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS). iWV also offers Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) to safeguard critical data and ensure business continuity should disaster strikes. Our Dual Data Centre strategy wherever we are lets clients quickly restore their business applications and data through several layers of protection, ranging from simple backup restore to near synchronous replication.
Other services provided by iWV include Monitoring-as-a-Service (24*7), which proactively monitors, maintains and improves client’s infrastructure. iWVPatch Management service additionally ensures that clients’ operating systems and associated applications are always patched with the latest hotfixes, updates and security definitions, so that their critical IT services are always secured.Albert elucidates, “In consolidating our position as a Managed Services Provider, we are continuously evaluating our service offerings and expanding the portfolio by adding on useful solutions to meet our clients’ needs.”

After being awarded the Multi-Tier Cloud Security (MTCS) Singapore Standard (SS) 584, which is the world’s first cloud security standard that covers multiple tiers of cloud security, the company is geared to launch its automation platform in 2016.
