Planning

Planning service
Yes
How the planning service works
Carbon60 will work with the client to identify from their business case exactly what requirements they have, the skills and experience currently available, and what services they are intending to provide. Full Software as a Service (SaaS) model, using their own bespoke software, Full Platform as a Service (PaaS) using available online tools and components or a toolkit PaaS using standard parts to provide non-standard processes in a managed environment.
Carbon60 will help the client to identify the best and most cost effective option for supporting this service be it through the clients own hardware or the use of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) on a pay as you go basis. We will also help the client to identify the scope of their market and the appropriate deployment model they require. Public cloud, Community cloud, Private cloud or Hybrid cloud.
With these requirements defined Carbon60 will assist the client in creating an Implementation plan using one of the standard methodologies, such as Agile, Scrum or Prince 2, dependent on the client’s requirements, resources, familiarity and preference. This plan will include costs, documentation, data migration, customisation, integration with other systems and schedules for training.

Setup and migration

Setup or migration service available
Yes
How the setup or migration service works
Carbon60 will work with the client to identify their requirements by conducting a co-ordinated business analysis to produce a business model. It will also consider business continuity and disaster recovery scenarios, such as cloud service disruption or cancellation. This model will then be used to carry out an initial threat and risk assessment for the client.
The business model and risk assessment provide a basis for determining mandatory and desirable requirements using a standard practice description, such as the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL).The business case is then written, capturing business needs, how cloud computing will meet this need and how it aligns with the clients requirements. Ensuring they have a clear and detailed definition for the contractual terms they require.
Carbon60 will support the client in the preparation of an exit strategy to document contingency plans to migrate records securely to another solution should circumstances require, whilst maintaining full business continuity.
Carbon60 will aid the client in the creation of a project and team to manage both the activities needed in house and those needed to support on-going operations. This would also include the identification of any additional skills and training requirements for their staff and assistance in its provision.

Quality assurance and performance testing

Quality assurance and performance testing service
Yes
How the quality assurance and performance testing works
Using Carbon60's comprehensive Cloud Cyber Security Framework we help provide buyers with quality assurance and performance testing. We can help organisations to effectively achieve the benefits that Cloud Computing can deliver, whilst minimising the risks and information assurance challenges associated with the transformation. The Framework we provide will identify, quantify, prioritise and manage operational, business and financial risks with cyber causes. It is based on international standards and industry best practice, and has 3 stages. Stage 1, rapidly identify an organisation’s obvious areas of cyber risk (technical, management and human), in order to speed up management by providing focus for future work. Stage 2, based on Cyber Reconnaissance, conduct a focussed and prioritised risk assessment. This will support selection and prioritisation of remediation efforts. Stage 3, provision of targeted, coherent Cyber Security Services to mitigate/manage risks identified. We will provide experienced independent consultants who can provide the knowledge required to assure Cloud services in line with current CESG, government and commercial guidelines. This includes potentially complex scenarios involving cross domain solutions and highly sensitive data.

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

Our entire UK estate is now powered by zero carbon, 100% renewable electricity, sourced solely from Wind, Hydro and Solar power. Our choice was to only include Solar, Wind and Hydro sources in our fuel mix, as they are natural, renewable and zero carbon at their source of production, as opposed to bioenergy which requires combustion or nuclear which relies on a finite resource. Our current mix is made up of
Wind (on-shore) 68.4%
Wind (off-shore) 21.6%
Solar 9%
Hydro 1%
This helps not only our previously stated ambition to develop a carbon neutral business in the UK by the end of 2022 but will also be a fundamental part of our evolving carbon net zero and wider sustainability strategies over the coming years.
