Manchester, February 27th - Commend, a global leader in providing integrated security communication systems, and TeleData UK, a highly secure data centre operator and cloud hosting provider, have today announced details of a partnership which has enabled Commend to bring a groundbreaking hosted security communication solution to the security marketplace.

Commend offer a wide range of solutions providing the ability to communicate via Intercom, PA & mobile applications, as both standalone or fully networked solutions. Customers include Northumbrian Water Group, Brunel University, Cambridge Guided Busway and leading names in a number of sectors such as universities, schools, hospitals and airports.

The latest solution brought to market by Commend is based on a hosted platform enabling customers to gain all the advantages of a secure communication system without the need for on-site server hardware. Hugely scalable, this hosted solution enables customers to start small and grow on a subscription basis over a period of time.

Although Commend developed and own the intercom platform, the company required a specialist partner to deliver the cloud infrastructure on which the application would reside. It was vital that the partner was able to offer huge scalability, immediately available technical support and committed quality of service to guarantee the continued availability of Commend customers’ service. It was also critical to ensure the partner met Commend’s own commitment to physical and virtual security.

TeleData operate some of the most secure data centre facilities in Europe and offer customers a range of Cloud, IaaS, colocation and resilient network services. The company was able to offer Commend a cloud-based data centre product offering scalability, usability and a commercial model to assist in the whole product lifecycle from proof of concept through to final product delivery.

James Dickens, Commend Segment Manager, commented: “When we started to look for an IaaS provider it was imperative that we partnered with a company that understands and mirrors our commitment to security and resilience. After a number of discussions with various companies it became clear that TeleData UK was the obvious choice. The high level of security, resilience and flexibility of their infrastructure means that we can be 100% confident that our customers are getting the very best service around.”

Matthew Edgley, TeleData Commercial Director, commented: “Commend and TeleData have some key synergies – with a real focus on physical and virtual security, application performance and service stability in order to uphold the value of our brands. The relationship is geared towards growth on a commercial and technical level and its one we’re very excited about!”

This partnership means that Commend retain full control over the configuration and operation of their hosted intercom software platform from OS level upwards. TeleData’s ongoing role is to ensure the stability and performance of the underlying virtual infrastructure.
