Managed Servers Managed servers occupy their own virtual network which is separated from all other customers as well as our core network. Standard firewall and security measures are put in place on each server. Managed servers include their own connectivity to the Internet and IP address space.
All of our Managed Servers are custom configured, depending on your specific needs. With this model, you're not overpaying for more server than your project or service requires. Our Network Engineers design, build, and stress test each server. As such, monthly hosting fees are determined based on the type of server, bandwidth requirements, and the type of management and monitoring package you choose.
Also, if your project or service outgrows your Managed Server, we can provide several upgrade paths.
Managed Server Examples Here are some common examples of uses for managed servers. Note that a managed server may be used for virtually any function. If you have specific needs, please complete the form below, or contact us.
Example: Mail and Web Server Many companies and organizations are looking toward DSL and Cable providers (or our very own wireless broadband) for Internet connectivity. However, these technologies are not suited for hosting e-mail and web content delivery due to their low upstream bandwidth rates.
Because DSL and Cable providers use shared IP address pools, customers of those services may find themselves on several e-mail blacklists due to the actions of other customers in the same pool. This can be a frustrating situation.
With a managed server, e-mail and web content may be delivered at high speeds in a secure location, with a dedicated IP address and dedicated network.
Example: Centrally Located Secure File Server Sharing a file repository between multiple locations securely can be difficult and expensive. Let us host your file server with secure VPN access on our high-speed network. Your remote offices, road warriors, and telecommuters will be able to share data simply and effortlessly. Example: Off-Site Backup Information stored in digital format is convenient, portable, accessible, and also easily lost. A managed server could be used as an off-site backup solution for your sensitive data. Example: Game Hosting Several online games allow "Gamemasters" to host a dedicated game server which can be configured to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Gamemasters can host their games for a club, group, organization, or the general public. Want More Information? Complete the form below to have a network engineer contact you.
* All servers include basic IP filtering, or can be completely disconnected from the public Internet (VPN only). An optional dedicated firewall can be added for an additional monthly fee. |
