What was once our 'hosted' solution for Signature products has become Gladstone Cloud!  We have moved away from the hardware that once hosted our Signature software to a more reliable cloud-based system in Azure, which also houses GladstoneGo. 

Many organisations especially in local government are looking to consolidate and centralise services to reduce costs, gain efficiencies and create a shared services model to better support their citizens. In addition, there is increasing focus on sustainability and green credentials. Managing and operating disparate server infrastructures for business applications across an estate can be costly. Managing an on-premise infrastructure hampers your IT team’s performance by spending too much time keeping the lights on, managing software versions and daily operations. For your infrastructure to deliver maximum business value, you need to continually manage and optimise it. 

Moving your LMS to a cloud-based environment provides operators with many benefits:

• Scalable – the scalable servers with adaptive monitors will scale automatically to cover peak times. This means that peaks in server traffic such as common midnight peaks will never be an issue.  
• Up to date – your software will always be on the latest version so there’s no need to request upgrades, they just happen 
• No downtime – upgrades happen within minutes not days and there’s no disruption whilst your software is being upgraded 
• Optimum performance – you’ll get the performance you need with advanced caching and the immediate benefit of any application performance changes we put in place 
• Secure – enhanced security protects your data from a range of web attacks, DDOS attacks and bots.
