Data Centre Services
Data Centre: (data center) : A centralised facility which is environmentally controlled, providing business services by securely delivering applications and data across a network to remote users. The facility's level of security, redundancy, power, cooling, fire suppression and availability are all parameters by which data centres are evaluated.
Outsourcing your datacentre operations for mission-critical systems can be a cost-effective strategy.
For both mid-market and enterprise businesses, using a data centre for hosting services is often the best way to gain access to the resources of an around-the-clock fully managed data centre.
Managed hosting is for business customers who prefer to have the web server hosting provider monitor and maintain their dedicated servers, operating system and supported applications. Businesses who do not have the required system administration resources in-house are more likely to select managed hosting rather than unmanaged servers [also known as dedicated servers].
What is Application Hosting?
Application Hosting: (also known as software hosting) allows businesses to access applications that are housed, maintained, upgraded and supported off-site in a data centre. Businesses can usually gain access to the software using a virtual private network (VPN) or wide area network (WAN) and a standard Web browser (i.e. Firefox or Internet Explorer).
Application hosting is an attractive option for businesses wishing to leverage the expertise and resources of specialist service providers, thereby freeing up their own personnel and resources to focus on growing their business. Remotely hosting applications not only takes the worry and effort from businesses, but also gives the security of a full service guarantee and back-up facilities.
