Overview

An in-house server can be a headache and a potential security risk...an accident waiting to happen. First of all you have to maintain it yourself, ensuring you have staff available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to keep it running. If your server is being accessed from outside, very real concerns regarding security, virus attack, speed of access, power outage and other downtime beyond your control come into play. Not to mention that a server kept on-site will go down with the rest of the building in times of disaster like flood or fire.

There was a time when companies maintained their own staff for their in-house servers. These days many servers are located at high speed hubs like ours, where trained staff can monitor them and keep the downtime to near zero. Imagine an unknown technician going down to your business premises at midnight because your server is down! With off-site server in our secure environment the whole “repair” process takes place without interfering with you or your business. Most businesses and organizations of even 10 or more employees, all needing access to company files and data, can benefit from co-locating a server off-site.
