Managed hosting

The hosting provider for the dedicated managed server owns and is responsible for the data centre, network, devices, operating system and application infrastructure components, providing a stable operating environment for the applications.

The applications are managed by the customer’s own IT organisation, and maintain full control over the applications infrastructure and business process.

Managed Hosting vs. Colocation

Managed hosting provides more value than co-location and dedicated hosting because it frees up internal IT personnel from mundane infrastructure related tasks which can be redeployed into understanding and supporting the business more effectively.

Managed Hosting eases the overall maintenance problem of carrying multiple spares of every component, the cost of 24/7/365 staff and re-creating network infrastructure to ensure there is no single point of failure.

In addition it frees up cash flow, by spreading the cost on a flexible monthly basis, avoiding up front capital expenditure.

Managed Hosting vs. Fully Outsourced

Managed hosting provides greater responsiveness than fully outsourced solutions because it emphasises a flexible bottom up approach to delivering value.

It puts a customer fully in control of their application and business processes, whilst benefiting from full support at the resource intensive lower layers.
