Rebel Boy Media provides an update on their services amid the COVID-19 outbreak

Posted By Media Team @ Rebel Boy Media on Monday, 18th May 2020 at 11:55am | Read Time: 3 Minutes approx.

In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, Rebel Boy Media UK recognizes the importance of adopting a responsible approach to minimize potential risks around the spread of the virus. While we continue to provide our web services and office-based video and photography editing and production services as usual, we have taken necessary measures to ensure the safety of our employees and clients.

To that end, all projects involving on-location filming or photography have been suspended until further notice. We understand that the current situation is dynamic, and we will continue to monitor it closely and review our approach in line with guidance from the government and public health authorities.

For our web hosting platform and web design clients, we have already taken proactive steps to ensure that our services remain up and running without any disruption. We have also been working closely with our suppliers, including telecoms and data center providers, to ensure that we are prepared for any potential worst-case scenarios.

Given the high volume of data we store - around 20TB - we heavily rely on our tech partners to provide server space, data security, backup, and archiving services. While we continue to work remotely, we understand the importance of reliable and secure internet data connections to our data centres, which may be under additional strain during this difficult time. We are therefore in constant communication with our partners to ensure that a clear plan is in place to counter any issues that may arise, and we will continue to work together to minimize any reduction in service.

For our web hosting clients, we encourage you to contact us if you need to warn your clients of potential changes to your business availability. Our hosting platform is currently running as expected, and we have no reason to believe that this won't continue to be the case.

We have also made necessary adjustments to our video and photography editing and production services to ensure that we can continue to provide these services without compromising the health and safety of our employees and clients. However, all on-site video and photography services have been temporarily suspended, and we are currently reviewing this situation.

We understand that this is an unprecedented time, and we are committed to providing our clients with continued support while prioritizing the health and safety of our employees, clients, and the wider community. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and adapt our approach accordingly.
