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.

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.

Our off‑site backup services provide reliable data protection in the event of a disaster, cyber incident, or system failure. The service is highly customizable and can be tailored to support a variety of connection methods and backup configurations.

Our S3 backup service delivers secure, object‑based storage with the option to enable immutable backups, ensuring data cannot be altered or deleted. This provides strong protection against ransomware, accidental deletion, and unauthorized changes, while supporting modern backup platforms and workflows.

Our SD‑WANaaS Service enables secure connectivity between sites and your internal network using any commercial internet connection. By leveraging cost‑effective broadband links instead of traditional private circuits, it delivers improved flexibility, resiliency, and significant cost savings, while maintaining centralized security and network control.

Our Web and DNS hosting services are delivered on a robust, highly available, and redundant platform engineered for reliability and resilience. This ensures your externally facing web resources remain continuously accessible, secure, and performant, supporting business continuity and protecting your organization’s public‑facing digital services.
