Ross and Cameron have a strong history of success in the Australian internet industry and together have over thirty years experience at senior levels of Australian public company executive management.

 

Emantra's executive team also comprises Chief Operating Officer Scott Buttel and General Manager Emantra Government Services Anthony Miller.  Together, this team has world-class experience and professional qualifications which cover technology, operations, project management and commercials.

 

We have a strong technical pedigree and personal relationship with Microsoft Corporation going back over ten years and at the highest levels in Australia and Redmond.  We believe we represent the best Microsoft partner hosting capability in this part of the world.

 

From the outset Emantra has focused on combining the best of Microsoft technology, infrastructure and expertise, high security accreditations and unmatched customer service.

 

Emantra's technical team consists of Microsoft-accredited professionals who are specialists in network and server design, operations, and security and compliance. We have a 24/7 roster which ensures your service is being managed around the clock.  All our employees are vetted through the Australian Federal Police staff check process in order to meet the strict security requirements of our Australian and State Government clients.

 

We're based in Brisbane and Canberra, with a national and international clientele. Winner of various industry awards and accreditations, Emantra is proud of its place in the forefront of the Microsoft service community in Australia.

Did You Know?

Emantra's services achieved 100% uptime through the 2011 Queensland natural disasters. Far from luck, this was achieved through our optimum network design including redundant Tier III+ datacentres and multi-carrier diverse-path internet connections.

 

What We Do

cloudEmantra is a prominent national Microsoft Private Cloud Service provider. We host enterprise-grade Microsoft Software-as-a-Service, Infrastructure-as-a-Service and Platform-as-a-Service solutions to the Australian Corporate and Government community.

 

Our services range from lower-cost co-tenant or shared-server solutions to bespoke, private, fully-redundant physical or virtual infrastructure services.

 

We have developed a range of repeatable methodologies that ensure the right outcome on time and budget.  Our model uses the internet as a business enabler, not a destination.  We stick to our core competency which is hosting.  We are not business analysts, system integrators, coders, resellers or web developers.  We partner with the best companies who do those things.

 

Through this focus and commitment have achieved great things for our customers and our business.

Dedicated Microsoft hosting services designed for the exacting requirements of Government. Our Canberra-located facilities are used exclusively for our Australian Government clientele and comply with agency and ISM standards relevant to the information classifications we handle. These include DSD Gateway certifications, security controls, info-class separation, and encryption and connectivity requirements.

Emantra Government Services ("EGS") is a specialist division of the company set up to exclusively deliver Emantra's Microsoft Private Cloud services to Australian Government clientele. Its management, facilities and operations are located within the ACT. Its primary infrastructure, located within a Tier III+ Canberra datacentre, has been designed expressly to meet ISM standards and agency guidelines. EGS's secondary data centre, used for dual-active services, mutual back-up and disaster recovery, is also located within the ACT. These data centres are each a member of the relevant AGIMO-approved panel and are to the highest available standard. None of Emantra's commercial (non-government) clients are serviced from within this infrastructure.

The services sit behind hardware firewalls and internet gateways which are DSD Certified to various information classifications.

Emantra is closely following AGIMO pronouncements on cloud services for the Australian Government. We are committed to ensure that our services entirely adhere to this direction.

Our services are differentiated from the many low-cost "Public Cloud" offerings in that they are fully hosted onshore, offer the full enterprise software feature set, and offer server-side development access on dedicated servers and customised reporting and SLA.
