Nephos Technologies bring you Cloud Brokerage 2.0 through the launch of a new Cloud Brokerage Platform: Nephos Constellation. Through our advanced features we elevate Cloud Brokerage by merging a technical toolset with a business process led approach
Nephos Technologies is an independent Cloud Services Broker; providing consultancy, management and technology services to organisations seeking to develop, implement and optimise their cloud strategy.
Nephos Technologies is helping many businesses with their tried and tested Cloud Feasibility Study to find out the specific business benefits of cloud for your organisation
Nephos Technologies is an independent Cloud Services Brokerage (CSB); providing consultancy, management and technology services to organisations seeking to develop, implement and optimise their cloud strategy. We do this in a number of ways, primarily acting as independent advisers. We are one of the only companies in this market who are able to do so, as we have no Cloud to sell. Our business does not rely on filling a Data Centre or having a fixed model to migrate our customers towards, therefore enabling us to provide completely unbiased advice when in discussions with our customers.
How we HelpNephos Technologies is an independent Cloud Services Brokerage (CSB) providing consultancy to customers around topics such as: developing your Cloud strategy, moving to object based storage, making your Cloud deployment PCI compliant, Big Data Analytics, Cloud backup/archive and DR. Ultimately we work with our customers as independent specialist advisors, using our in-depth knowledge of the Cloud market to make sure that they can realise real business value from Cloud deployments.
How you migrate your application services to the Cloud is a key consideration for all deployment scenarios. Through a tried and tested approach Nephos Technologies are helping our customers to seamlessly deploy applications into the Cloud with minimum risk, whilst reducing the time it takes to migrate these services from months or weeks to hours and minutes. We work with you to ensure smooth integration between Cloud and non-Cloud application sets and can even upgrade the underlying Operating System as part of the process.
As you begin to consume more and more services from the Cloud maintaining visibility into usage, service and cost can become a complex challenge, particularly as the use of Cloud services is unlikely to be restricted to just the IT department. Nephos Technologies aim to remove this problem for our customers, acting as a single aggregation layer for commercial and service engagement across all Cloud services. We provide you with a single point of implementation, service, management and billing to make sure that Cloud consumption does not become a burden.
Nephos Technologies elevates Cloud Brokerage to a new level by taking it from a technical tool to a business led solution. We do this by combining Business Process Management and Cloud orchestration to enable non-IT users to provision services in the Cloud whilst maintaining IT governance, whether Public, Private or Hybrid. We provide a single gateway for you to consume Cloud services from a multitude of providers and can be used either in a SaaS model, or deployed as a dedicated on-premise platform.
Like any IT service, the work doesn't end once the application has been migrated. Whether your services are deployed in a Public, Private or Hybrid Cloud Nephos Technologies provide you with a single management view of your Cloud infrastructure. The Nephos Constellation platform gives you visibility into service availability and usage, an intelligent decision engine that helps you to select the right provider for your services, as well as automated deployment capabilities. Whether you choose to use our Brokerage platform to make things easier for your own IT teams, or whether you'd like us to manage that for you, our target is to simplify Cloud consumption and provide consistent service delivery.

Company Launch!
I met with a prospective client last week (for the purposes of this post I’ll call him “Trevor”) to discuss how we could help develop a Cloud strategy for their business.
As we talked “Trevor” began to explain his frustration at how some of the other providers that he’d been speaking to approached their “Cloud”... Read more
I saw a tweet from GoGrid yesterday around an article on the differences between IaaS, PaaS and SaaS which surprised me. Are people still talking about this?? After a quick Google search I realised there were still a large number of in-depth articles being written around the differences between these services and which is... Read more
First off welcome to Nephos Technologies' inaugural blog posting!! The first topic that we would like to share our thoughts on is the future of storage in the cloud.
I was sat in a presentation about 18 months ago from a Global Sales Director of a top 3 storage provider (I won't mention which one - to save... Read more
Nephos Technologies is giving a presentation at Cloud Expo next week on the topic of cloud security; rights, roles and responsibilities. There has been a lot already written about cloud security and I don't want to go over old grown, so I will come at it from the angle of how a cloud services broker helps with security in... Read more
It seems that everyone has provided their "independent" thoughts on the things to consider when looking into cloud. To me most of these seem to relate to their companies strengths and almost turn into a "Reason to use our cloud" list so I thought I would add our thoughts from what... Read more
Since everyone involved with the cloud services market seems to be polishing up their crystal ball and making some predictions I thought I would throw my hat into the ring with some of my own. A number of these predictions are not huge leaps, but some of them might be considered a little out there.
Let me start this blog my explaining my definition of a cloud service broker. It is quite easy, I use Gartners:
"A cloud services brokerage is a third party company that adds value to cloud services on behalf of cloud service consumers. Their goal is to make the service more specific to a company, or... Read more
This post is based on a talk I saw at #cloudcamp from Kuan Hon (@kuan0) around what customers should consider when negotiating cloud contracts. I'll start by saying that Kuan is an amazing speaker and knows more about cloud contracts than anyone I have met. She highlighted a number of very interesting points especially... Read more
I was in a meeting last week with a customer who started the meeting by stating that they were going to use Provider X as they wanted a hosted private cloud as it is more secure. I just sat there and said one word "Why?". This one word started a 40 minutes conversation around security, infrastructure and the terminology of... Read more
Quotes about Nephos Technologies 
We looked at many cloud providers directly, but speaking with Nephos Technologies gave us more options, the right advice and most importantly value for money, as we ended up with a cheaper solution that delivered exactly what we needed. Since signing up with Nephos they have provided valuable advice and information that has helped us scope our future development.
Razor Thorn Security has worked alongside the excellent Nephos technologies consultants a number of times over a number of engagements and we have found them every time to undertake work of the highest calibre with the upmost professionalism.
Nephos Technologies is one of the few Cloud companies I have met with a deep understanding of the technologies, architecture and business challenges invoked with cloud. What is even more impressive is that they have a broad base of knowledge and are not just pushing one technology.
