Benefits to Your Business of Managed Hosting

It is conventional wisdom that  dedicated server hosting with extended support and management delivering system-level administration and support, comprehensive Internet infrastructure and extensive services that relieve IT departments of many critical, but expensive responsibilities, is the ideal. Yet, in a managed hosting environment, the provider owns the data centers, the network, the server and other devices, and is responsible for deploying, maintaining and monitoring them offers a commercially realistic solution.

In the managed hosting environment , the customer retains full control of their operating systems and applications. Service typically includes: Dedicated devices, advanced monitoring, load balancing, managed security, data storage, managed backup, premium bandwidth, service level guarantees and industry-leading technical expertise

In addition, a  focused IT staff is at call.  The service provider will handle all of the management and daily tasks associated with maintaining 24x7 application availability. This way your IT staff can concentrate on your corporate business and strategic efforts.

An experienced service provider offers experience across complex, web-enabled application with staff that includes  engineers and operations personnel who generally hold certifications from industry leaders, such as Microsoft, Sun, Oracle, Red Hat Linux, Cisco, and Check Point.

Security permeates every aspect of the managed hosting service delivery. IP Application Hosting makes the security of your infrastructure, applications, and data a priority.

Capital and operating costs

A managed hosting solution helps control costs. The service provider has already made the investment in infrastructure and personnel training on your behalf. You can leverage the economies of scale that the service provider, such as Verizon Business receives from offering infrastructure and services to multiple customers.

As a case in point, by leveraging its secure global IP network, Verizon Business remains a provider committed to innovative and leading-edge hosting services tailored to solve your specific business challenges.

Hosted services help you achieve the capacity efficiencies and optimal performance of your company configurations. This may include management tools and value-added services, such as performance testing, multi-level security inspection, change management, content management, and results-measurement services.

A hosted solution does not exclude viewing important information about the critical operations. Key self-service functions of the hosting portal are an essential feature of a contemporary hosting solution and would  include listing performance statistics, viewing bandwidth utilization and back-up success rates, taking load balancers in and out of service, and more. Moreover, a service agreement may include expert managed services to keep your configuration highly available, with optional account management services for expert technical consultation and project management.

Your online business should be as important to the service provider as it is to you in terms of ensuring exceptional performance and operation.
