OUR PLATFORM
Eloquent Technologies hosting platform has been purpose built from the
ground up to provide customers the highest levels of service. Delivered from
two physical locations - London and Manchester - our hosting platform is fast,
resilient and backed up by the best support possible.
The data centres we operate from are considered as core infrastructure and
among the most physically secure buildings in the UK. These buildings are
protected with the latest in security, fire and blast defences.
Both our locations use high quality reliable equipment including EMC SAN’s,
Cisco switches and Firewalls, Dell PowerEdge and PowerValt devices. We
also partner with Citrix and Microsoft providing our customers with a range
of software licensing options depending on whether captial or operational
expenditure is prefered.
QUALITY RELIABLE EQUIPMENT
Our data centres provide the environment possible to locate core
infrastructure. The buildings are designed with the sole purpose of providing
the perfect platform to house IT equipment. As an organisation grows its
dependence on IT infrastructure becomes greater, as do the risks. Most
organisations have server rooms with some security and air conditioning and
power backup, but very few have redundant systems.

HOSTED DESKTOPS
Hosted Desktop’s are a new form
of desktop computing. Designed
to consolidate and simplify
computing. It removes the need
for “traditional” physical Desktop
PCs in the office environment,
and reduces the cost of providing
applications and computing
services that you need.
A Hosted Desktop looks and
behaves like a regular Desktop
PC, but the software and data you
use are hosted in our data centres
and streamed securely to your PC,
laptop, iPad or thin client.
It’s a simple idea. Instead of
your business dealing with the
costs and risks of installing
and maintaining hardware and
software, Eloquent provides round
the clock access to desktops and
applications. Hosted Desktops
give you all the benefits of a
sophisticated and responsive IT
infrastructure, but at a fraction of
the cost of the traditional model.
From day one of your relationship
with us, you will benefit from
ready-to-use solutions and a
reduction in expense, especially as
your business grows and changes.

VIRTUAL DESKTOPS
The cloud computing concept is one which has gained tremendous traction
over the past few years, which is driving more and more businesses to look at
the cloud as a long term strategy for their IT infrastructure needs.
A Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution from Eloquent is the first step
in migrating to cloud services, utilising the same technology as with Hosted
Desktop solutions but based locally on a clients’ site and infrastructure.

9. THE PERFECT SOLUTION
FOR ORGANISATIONS WITH
MULTIPLE SITES
INFRASTRUCTURE
MPLS NETWOKS
Until recently MPLS was the preserve of large enterprise networks and is
used for connecting multiple sites together as efficiently as possible. This
technology uses broadband, EFM, SDSL and leased lines to transmit the
data, but MPLS controls where it goes. It is simple to manage, fast and very
resilient, compared to standard VPN connections. Native MPLS support with
traffic prioritisation for mission-critical applications, a perfect solution for
organisations with more than two sites, and gives you a future proof platform
for the convergence of voice, video and data networks.
• Alternative is a site to site IPSec VPN solution. This solution carries a high
overhead, both in terms of network speed, complexity and management.
• MPLS network are also superior at managing traffic priority, giving
granular control over the network management, providing the best
possible user experience.
• Consolidate an old, legacy network solution from multiple providers, to a
modern high integrated and high speed, resilient network, reducing cost
and increasing performance. With a single point of support.
WHY USE MPLS?
• Improves security across the corporate network
• Creates a LAN-like environment across geographically separate sites
• Reduces hardware and software cost by removing the need to purchase
firewalls for each site because firewall security is consolidated at
a single point in the network
• Reduces administration burden on IT staff, allowing them to
concentrate on other tasks
• Makes it easier and quicker to deploy new sites on the network

high speed private network, allowing the business to benefit from increased
productivity as information is shared between all users simply and quickly.
SITE-TO-SITE
Eloquent can provide systems to control which websites users can visit. This
increases productivity and decreases risk to the business. All our solutions
also use high quality Cisco equipment, protecting your business
from threats from the Internet

connections and multiple suppliers. Hardware is monitored and maintained
by our experienced engineering team, providing
personal high quality support.
RESILIENT
Super fast broadband is now available to 95% of businesses. Eloquent
can provide broadband connections from 5Mb up-to 1000Mb, making the
Internet a productive resource.
SUPER FAST
COMMUNICATIONS
INTERNET ACCESS
Networks were once just structured cabling that linked local computers
together, now organisations consider their network and Internet access to be
mission critical, because of the detrimental impact any loss of service has to
most organisations.
Eloquent specialise in providing solutions for fast reliable Internet access
and connecting multiple sites together. The technology used to create these
networks has historically been very static, with leased lines and kilostream
products. Over the last 5 years these have given way to new better value for
Internet access and site-to-site communication.

11. Bonded Broadband bridges the gap between a typical DSL or cable
connection and more expensive leased lines. This allows businesses to take
advantage of greater uptime, resiliency, reliability and
save money in the process.
BONDED BROADBAND
Bonded Broadband increases your download & upload speeds and provides
enhanced connectivity when working in multi-user environments. The
resulting speed increase is comparable to solutions that cost 10 times more.
Increasing speed provides better quality VoIP and video conferencing
services, and helps ensure that off-site data backups complete on time.
Bonded Broadband is an excellent solution for those who send large video,
graphic, or image files. With both the downstream and upstream connections
multiplied, businesses can make more effective use of their time and not
have to wait as long for transfers to complete.
IT’S MORE RELIABLE
Bonded Broadband can adapt to the demands of your business with nominal
hardware costs. Bonded Broadband can scale to increase capacity when the
need arises, as well as scale back down to save costs.

speed business-grade internet connection of up to 20Mbs. Backed by a
proven and robust network, EFM Eloquent offers a high capacity Ethernet
service, which is ideal for your business if you’re concerned about the
performance of your existing ADSL, SDSL or the cost of
your ageing Leased Line services.
• Resilient - as the solution uses multiple copper pairs
• Speed – symmetrical, uncontended and direct
• Reliable – private circuit local loops are a premium product
supported by time to fix guarantees
• Resilience – redundancy and separacy can be
incorporated to reduce outages

eloquent technologies | communications | internet access
01296 340 005 | www.eloquent-technologies.com
What is EFM?
Why use EFM?
Unlike traditional leased lines, which connect to the local exchange using
fibre, EFM uses bundles of copper pairs meaning they’re faster to install and
offer the benefits of lower costs and higher resilience. EFM speeds are also
symmetrical, so unlike a standard ADSL connection, you get the same speeds
uploading data as you do downloading.
Contact Eloquent to find out more and we’ll provide you with your
guaranteed EFM connection speed. We could help you achieve savings of up
to 65% on your current leased line costs or provide you with a more robust,
better performing alternative to ADSL or SDSL.

LEASED LINES
A Leased Line is typically the highest quality connection between your office
and the Internet or other physical sites. Leased Line is a cable, typically fibre
optic, that is run between your office and your local exchange, allowing for
much faster connection speeds. This service is normally delivered as either
10Mb, 100Mb or 1000Mb synchronous connections, meaning
the upload and download speeds are identical.
A leased line is a permanent, always on connection between two locations. It
is a dedicated, private line and only carries communications and traffic from
your company, resulting in a guaranteed level of service. The line can be
used for data, video and voice and is most effective when sharing bandwidth
hungry applications between different offices. High speed
connections up to 1Gig are available

FIBRE OPTIC
BT Openreach is investing £2.5bn in the deployment of Fibre Optic
Broadband across the UK between 2010 and 2015. This will reach 10 million
homes and businesses by the summer of 2012 and around 16 million
premises by 2015 equal to approximately two-thirds of the UK population.
This will be deployed by two different means.
For around 75% of premises receiving fibre broadband, it will be delivered
over Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) technology which will allow customers to
benefit from broadband download speeds of “up to 40Mbps”, and upload
speeds typically from 2Mbps and “up to 10Mbps”. The remainder will receive
Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) services.
Eloquent Technologies deliver a business class managed service, leveraging
this new super fast technology, providing customers a product that can
change the way in which they run their organisation. The connection is
secured and monitored around the clock, and is often implemented as
part of a wider network upgrade project with other connections to provide
resilience to the solution, for organisations who understand how
important internet connectivity now is.
Fibre to the Cabinet or FTTC describes a deployment where a fibre cable
runs from the exchange to a street cabinet that contains the Broadband
equipment. From here it is linked to business premises and homes via the
existing copper network. This then connects the home or business to your
Internet Service Provider’s Fibre Broadband service.
FIBRE TO CABINET
Fibre to the Premises or FTTP describes a deployment where a fibre cable
runs from a BT exchange all the way to the end-user premise. It terminates at
a box (the CSP) which is fitted to the external wall. From here it is connected
to a modem fitted internally which then connects the home or business to
your Internet Service Provider’s Fibre Broadband service.
