Why consider Hosted Virtual Servers?
With the increasing “minimum system requirements” of modern core business applications,
it is becoming increasingly costly to employ the right team of IT Support experts,
purchase and maintain a suitable IT infrastructure and ensure all the right components
and data are backed up.
With our skilled team, you can significantly reduce your IT Support costs and improve
on the service delivered. We are happy to work with
IT Support Partners & IT Managers alike and believe that they both provide
the valuable bridge between business requirement and the technical solution.
This is where Hosted Virtual Servers become a real and cost effective alternative
to ‘on-premise’ servers. By creating secure, scalable, fully monitored and backed
servers in a biometrically secure data centre; we can offer Hosted Virtual Servers
at a fraction of the cost of having your own and with greater resilience and security
than most companies could afford.
What do you get with a Virtual Hosted Server?
Not only do you get a Hosted Virtual Server that you can treat as your own (or your
IT Support company can), we make sure the entire backup and hardware redundancy
headache is taken care of.
Our team of experts are available to ensure that everything is kept running to ensure
extremely high levels of availability are maintained; ensuring access to your servers
and business applications whenever you need them.
We want to provide small-to-medium sized businesses with servers that help them
run their business applications as securely as top class enterprise companies currently
enjoy; all at an affordable monthly fee.
In addition to using our Hosted Servers, you can also choose if you want to use
your licenses or have very cost effective ‘per user per month’ pricing for many
common applications (such as Microsoft Office, Microsoft Exchange, Sage, Microsoft
Dynamics NAV, etc).
If you go for our Secure Backup
Backup solutions you can also create a local copy of your data, giving you peace
of mind that your data is always with you.

Internet (broadband) speed not enough to cope with our user volume.
This is not usually a problem today, but it does depend on the number of users.
Using the option of Citrix XenDesktop improves the situation for low bandwidth areas.
Also, we can let you try our solution with and without Citrix so you can assess
performance.

| Save on electricity by not having your own servers and air-conditioning units |
| Temperature controlled environment, fire suppression and biometric security access. |
| Enterprise class redundancy |
| All Data is securely backed up, regularly. |
| Outlay is an Operational Expense (not a capital purchase) so tax efficient |

Internet connection ‘outage’
Although this is a rare issue it is a genuine concern for many businesses. We offer
ISP Broadband from two providers so you can have a fail over just in case one goes
down. Giving you a resilient solution for your business and users.
