The concept of Cloudschool is simple.
The network, software and applications that run on an onsite server, are securely moved to multiple servers in three UK datacentres.
By removing the onsite network the school no longer has to worry about server performance, disk issues or the ability to scale and back up.
Each Cloudschool is optimized for performance, is maintained and fully supported to allow the school stress-free computing. Access to the schools files and applications are available from anywhere.
A perfect solution for schools that teach remotely.
Having a fast Internet connection enables schools to take advantage of Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) to save money and gain flexibility with their phone system.
Calls can be made and received on a desk or wall phone and via software on staff mobiles, turning those mobiles into school devices.
Features include; Call routing, call hunting – where a call is sent to a landline then onto a mobile. Call recording comes as standard, as does fixed price packages that allow unlimited calls.
Both Google and Microsoft include free email filtering within their flagship offerings. But as 90% of email traffic has spam, phishing, malware and other electronic threats, targeting the more exposed email addresses such as info@, enquires@, headteacher@schoolname email addresses, ekte recommends adding advanced protection from LIBRAESVA.
The LIBRAESVA software checks the reputation of the sender, if they are known to be compromised or a phishing/gray mailing domain or malware the email is rejected, an ‘unknown sender’ mail is opened safely in a sandbox before being delivered to your inbox.
