hosting

do you want to reduce IT costs and improve service levels?

Traditionally, this may have seemed impossible to achieve for the average SME, but it is possible through IT hosting.

Why have a dog and bark yourself?

There has been a growing global trend in how SME’s pay for and manage their information technology. Instead of buying, administrating, powering and cooling their own kit, SME’s are opting for leasing this and paying monthly rental for a reliable IT infrastructure.

Small to medium sized companies that utilise hosted or outsourced technology models appear to be doing more, spending less and reaping greater benefits from technology than SME counterparts that manage their IT infrastructures on their own.

IT hosting provides SME’s the opportunity to harness the technologies that were historically only available to large organisations or Institutions.

By having your IT infrastructure hosted you free up costly real estate that formally housed your servers to accommodate fee earners and profit making activities.

Hosting providers supply organisations with all their requirements from data centre space for their own servers (known as co-location) to dedicated hosting where hosted servers are dedicated for your exclusive use. Hosting providers can also offer additional IT services in which they manage your hosted IT infrastructure (managed hosting).

Whatever your requirements are, we and our Partners have a solution.

what are the benefits of having your IT infrastructure hosted?

• Total Cost of Ownership is reduced;
  
  
• You remove the need to power and maintain cooling systems for your servers thus releasing funds to invest back into your organisation;
  
  
• You have access to IT consultants and 24 hour support - receive consultancy and support from specialised IT staff without the overheads of recruitment, retention, training and salaries;
  
  
• If you choose dedicated or managed hosting your organisation benefits from high-spec equipment, faster processing power and larger storage capabilities;
  
  
• Hosting helps improve your disaster recovery and business continuity plans;
  
  
• Security is improved, physical access to servers are restricted to you and your hosting provider;
  
  
• Scalability, hosting enables your organisation to respond quickly to changes in IT requirements; and
  
  
• Your IT infrastructure is no longer a capital expenditure – it becomes an operational cost that can be budgeted for monthly.

These are just a few of the benefits to having your IT infrastructure hosted.

Whatever your IT requirements, hosting could be your strategy to increase your competitive edge.
