"Our Cloud Servers handle traffic peaks with great ease."

Robert Costerus, Q8

From physical servers to a Private Cloud

Q8 and Combell have been collaborating over the years to host websites and complex online applications. First with shared or dedicated servers. But Q8 recently transferred its entire IT infrastructure to the Cloud. "The Cloud provides us with the flexibility we need to cope with the fluctuating number of visitors", says IT Business Consultant and Network Manager Robert Costerus.

"A single mailing can sometimes attract tens of thousands of extra visitors on our websites. So, you need to have an infrastructure that can cope with this. Such as our Private Cloud. "

Marketing requires room for manoeuvre

Robert Costerus: "Our marketing teams and advertising partners are very creative people. Every time, they imagine successful campaigns and ideas. Having these actions obstructed due to limitations of IT equipment is the last thing you would want. But, in the past, there was sometimes no choice. Our own servers were not able to cope with this increase in capacity. And, online, Q8 could thus never grow faster than our hardware. That is, of course, totally unacceptable!"

Q8's Private Cloud makes it possible to have new actions 'up and running' within one working day. And that is exactly what the Q8 marketing teams need.

Combell guided the transition

During the transition process, Combell was a real partner of Q8. Robert Costerus: "It was Combell who suggested to migrate to the Cloud. They also prepared all the necessary steps and thought along with us the whole time. And today, they are always available when we have a question or a problem. Through a single contact person who knows our case very well. It could not be any simpler."

Q8

Robert Costerus

"After each e-mailing, our website receives over 10,000 extra visitors. So, we needed to have servers that can cope with our fluctuating needs. Thanks to our Private Cloud infrastructure, we are no longer afraid of such a stream of visitors."

Selligent

Ben Vloemans

"How do you calculate the necessary capacity of a new server? We are a fast growing company and need extra server power at any time. Investing in our own devices is not a smart move. Cloud Servers at Combell are: they grow along with us."

Charlier Advocaten

Stephane Vereecken

"Thanks to Combell, our collaborators can access their data from anywhere. So, they are much more productive. And the Combell helpdesk is ready to help them night and day. Fortunately, in our company, the era of an in-house server has been over for a long time."

BeAligned

Hendrik Vermeiren

"Our consultants generally work from our customers' premises. Thanks to Combell's virtual office, they have access to central data from any place and can share information. And we did not have to invest in our own server. Thanks to Combell, the transition was child's play."

Mitsubishi Motors

Johan Vermeir

"During the Motor Show, our dealer portal receives many visitors. Temporarily increasing the capacity of an ordinary server was not an option. And even purchasing a more powerful server for those three weeks made no sense. Combell's Cloud Server was exactly what we were looking for."

Caruur car & truck rental

Hans Deconinck

"Our data must be available to our employees in both offices of our rental company. Via Combell's Cloud, everything is now hosted centrally, without us having to invest in servers ourselves. Combell also makes the necessary backups."

Kim Nuyts

"An online shop regularly copes with traffic peaks. But this is not a problem, thanks to the external hosting on Combell's servers. Our Cloud grows along with our company. And Combell's helpdesk is available day and night. This is a winner!"

What is your company still doing today with an in-house server?

The Cloud can do everything your own server can. But it does it better. Because you no longer have to worry about back-ups, firewalls, maintenance and updates. In addition, you can work from anywhere. This way, you have more time to focus on your core business.
