The following EXTEDO solutions are available as cloud offerings.

IT Infrastructure for the Cloud

The required IT infrastructure (server, network, firewall, data center) to run the solutions is provided by EXTEDO and hosted by EXTEDO's service provider Global Access. Global Access is a German based service provider specialised in Data Centers, VM Hosting, WAN and Internet Services. Quality and security of the services are certified based on ISO/IEC 27001 (native and BSI) and ISO 9001.

The client will access the solution via a secure SSL connection using a standard web browser. Access will be granted only as a result of an initial positive authentication. For each customer a separate database is created in the EXTEDO SaaS environment.  The system environment is protected by up to date anti-virus software.
