What do ICT directors in Australian education need?

Nextbase Reliable Infrastructure

Nextbase provides a solid foundation for educational ICT infrastructure. It offers a range of options, from continuity protection for school-based equipment to solutions at our professionally-run data centre Semper.Net™ - a modern, purpose-built environment which has offered hosting and network management services since 1995, a record of continuous operation that few other providers can match.

Dedicated Server

The maximum in independence, power, configurability, security and availability: commission your own dedicated server at our data centre.

Nextbase Option ONE is a Semper.Net™ server, dedicated to your institutional usage only, located in the secure, monitored environment of our data centre.

You and your staff have remote access to manage services at all times.
We provide 24 x 7 management, monitoring and maintenance
We have state-of-the-art security and fire protection
We provide redundant backup for power and cooling systems
We maintain a monitored and continually updated firewall
All services are guaranteed with commercial-grade SLAs

Virtual Server

Would you like to meet your ever-increasing ICT demands without having to fund expensive equipment upgrades? Try a virtual server!

Nextbase Option TWO is to locate your school services on a virtual server running VMware ESX at the Semper.Net™ data centre.

Virtual servers provide all of the separate secure functionality of a dedicated computer, but share their powerful physical resources between multiple operating system environments.

You can choose either a Windows or Linux environment, and we will be happy to assist your move. After that, we manage the server; you only need to manage your software and applications.

School Server

School ICT staff are rarely available 24 hours, seven days a week, but the services of their computers are expected to be. Why not have them professionally managed all of the time?

Nextbase Option THREE is to locate school equipment at the Semper.Net™ data centre.

The data centre provides all of the state-of-the-art protection and functionality listed above, but you are responsible for the physical upgrading, organisation and maintenance of all of your school's hardware, software and applications.

Continuity Protection

Power and telecommunications services are vulnerable to outages from storms, fires or general misadventure, but Nextbase can provide the backup to minimise disruption if something goes wrong.

Nextbase Option FOUR is to maintain continuity for school-hosted facilities using secure Semper.Net™ services.

We can store (and later deliver) email if your services go off-line.
We can replicate school databases to a secure failover service, which automatically supplies data even if school systems are off-line.
We can provide a secondary domain name service, so if the school's primary DNS should fail, its intranet and website will still be visible.

All services are guaranteed with professional Service Level Agreements.
All services provide commercial grade resources and functionality at economic rates.
Operational since 1995, Semper.Net™ is one of Australia's longest-running telehousing and colocation networks.
We aim to tailor solutions suitable for each of our clients. If these options do not meet your requirements, please contact us to arrange a custom quotation.
