London – 17th May 2018 - iland, an award-winning global cloud service provider, today announced that its iland Secure DRaaS solution has been awarded the Business Continuity Solution of the Year award at the UK Cloud Awards 2018.

The UK Cloud awards, which first launched in 2014, celebrate innovation, entrepreneurialism and technical excellence from the leading cloud suppliers, technologies and projects in the UK cloud sector. The awards recognise the best in the industry as chosen by a panel of expert judges. The winners were revealed at a ceremony at County Hall, London on 16th May 2018.

Faced with ongoing and increasing risks to IT systems from cyber-attacks such as ransomware and other threats, having a secure and robust disaster recovery solution in place is a priority for many companies. iland Secure DRaaS℠ allows IT workloads to be replicated from virtual or physical environments to an advanced security cloud infrastructure. With over a decade of disaster recovery expertise, iland can go far beyond simple backup to ensure all key workloads are protected – and the disaster recovery process is tuned to businesses’ priorities and compliance needs.

Monica Brink, iland EMEA director of marketing commented: “With the rapid increase in cloud adoption across the UK, iland is proud to be helping UK businesses realise incredible value from cloud services and protect their IT systems cost-effectively with our cloud-based backup and DR solutions. Thank-you to the UK Cloud Awards for this recognition and to our UK partners and customers for their ongoing support.”
