Reliable Hosting Built For Education

MERLIN’s secure, cost-effective hosting services power everything from websites to virtual servers — giving schools, post-secondary institutions, and government agencies the infrastructure they need without the overhead they don’t.

As part of MERLIN’s IaaS service we provide clients with a hosted virtual environment including virtual server provisioning, server management, performance tiered storage, and backup services. Benefits to clients include server infrastructure and licensing cost-savings, as well as efficiencies with redundancy and fault tolerance.

MERLIN manages a large, shared Microsoft Exchange infrastructure to provide school staff with the full features of Exchange, including email, shared calendar, and contacts. The Microsoft Outlook client (Win/Mac), a browser-based web mail interface, as well as Active Sync compatible mobile devices are supported.

This service allows clients to backup and archive various types of data stored in M365 / Google cloud services to MERLIN’s datacenter. This data can include mailbox data and remote file storage data, as well as other related cloud service data.

This service provides flexible access to an off-site storage target in MERLIN’s datacenter to be used for client backup data storage. Storage methods are available as required by the client’s preferred data transfer modality/software

MERLIN houses, serves, and maintains websites including server space, web services, and file maintenance for websites controlled by clients that do not have their own servers.
