UK based Web Host and Datacentre operator Netcetera announced this week that the company’s ISO9001 and ISO27001 accreditations have been successfully renewed after an extensive audit.

Netcetera‘s services and products are continually reviewed to ensure that the company provides the highest quality service to their customers. Netcetera CTO Tim Cass commented

“Netcetera strives to maintain its established reputation for quality and security, it is our aim to provide world class service using the best facilities for our clients. The successful recertification of ISO9001 and  ISO27001 reflects our ongoing efforts to maintain the highest service and security levels by implementing effective systems to enhance the working environment of our Isle of Man Datacentre.”

ISO 9001:2008 specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organisation needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Netcetera aims to enhance customer satisfaction through effective quality assurance and continual improvement.

Being ISO9001:2008 certified and registered means an independent auditor has checked that the processes influencing quality within Netcetera conforms to the relevant standard’s requirements. The primary objective is to give our management team and our clients confidence that we are always in control of the way we do things. An organisation that engages an independent auditor or certification body to check their processes receives a certificate of conformity from the auditor/certification body.

The ISO 27001:2005 standard is an international certification that applies requirements for information security management systems. The standard is designed to provide customers with an assurance that their provider uses industry best practices or information security.

First awarded in 2007, Netcetera was the first Isle of Man Datacentre to be completely certified for both Quality Management System ISO 9001 and Information Security Management System ISO 27001. The successful recertification is a result of the full integrated management system (IMS) which ensures the cohesion of all aspects of service including customer service and information management.

Isle of Man, THE BRITISH ISLES, 11 March 2010 — Netcetera, one of Europe’s leading Managed hosting and data center providers, today announced it has implemented R1Soft Continuous Data Protection® (CDP) software to offer a new self-managed backup service to its Windows and Linux clients.

R1Soft CDP enables Netcetera to provide its clients with many beneficial features including an easy-to-use Web interface for client self-service and bare-metal restore capabilities for minimal down time. Through the web-based administration portal, clients can easily manage their own high-performance backups and restores. By allowing the delegation of administrative functions, R1Soft CDP simplifies the entire process for clients and administrators.

R1Soft’s disk-to-disk server backup software takes snapshots of data at the block level, bypassing the file system to increase performance and significantly reduce network resource usage. This next-generation technology will bring Netcetera clients a whole new level of data protection with continuous, high-performance backups. With the bare-metal restore feature, clients gain the ability to restore an entire server to a previous state directly from any point-in-time snapshot without installing the O/S.

“It’s important for us to offer our clients an easy-to-use, powerful backup and restore service and R1Soft is reliable, feature-rich backup software that allows us to offer this at an affordable price,” said Tim Cass, CTO of Netcetera. “Plus, a quality backup solution that works efficiently means happy clients.”

Netcetera is offering a variety of backup service options that will start at just £10/month for 10GB of space and range up to 1000 GB space. For more information about Netcetera’s backup services visit:http://www.netcetera.co.uk/servers/backup
