“Backup” is more than a mantra today; it’s mission critical. Data on the servers used in a business need to be backed up. . This essential hosting service is backed up to a fully redundant storage-area network  This generally means faster backup.  This is also a faster solution as compared to providers that back up to tape. Restores are likewise faster and the whole setup is more reliable than tape, which has a much higher mean time between failures than SAN technology.

For cost-conscious enterprises, collocation is a viable option. the total cost of ownership in IT is the total cost of the staff and infrastructure to support your business. When crunching numbers to determine the total cost of servers supporting the company’s websites and how that fits into your day to day operations, disaster recovery and business continuity plans, take that one step further to compare those numbers versus colocating your servers in a data center.  In a hosted environment the data center service provider ensures your servers are secure while providing regulated temperature environments and conditioned power to ensure maximum uptime.

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.

Does your company have the IT resources to efficiently run your corporate websites and online business applications? Are you able to make the necessary investments in infrastructure and updated technology to improve your online performance? Does your IT staff have the expertise to manage the processes, platforms, software, and reporting tools to meet today’s requirements for infrastructure security and reliability?  Application hosting needs experienced operators which focus exclusively on managing the infrastructure and complex web-enabled applications for portals, retail sites, disaster recovery sites, and corporate websites for our customers.

Dedicated Hosting is a form of web hosting where a client chooses to lease an entire server housed in an off-site data centre that is dedicated to their uses only, and not sharing it with anyone else as in a shared hosting environment. This contrast to  Managed Hosting, where the customer needs to have the capability to perform all system administration and management activities on the server from their remote desktop.
