Managed Hosting
IHSYSTEM manages the software and
operating system running on your machines. We'll make sure
that all the latest OS patches are applied, keeping you
safe from security exploits. We'll monitor your applications
and fine-tune them, so that you can get the best performance
from your hosting budget. More detailed information about
managed hosting is available here.
Dedicated Managed Hosting
This is your most cost-effective
solution. In addition to managing the OS and the software,
we also own and manage the hardware. We will advise you
as to what hardware is required, and what peripherals you
need for your solution. We will monitor the hardware and,
since we own it, replace it if it ever fails, at no cost
to you. More information about dedicated hosting is available
here.
Examples of clients who use dedicated managed hosting are
service-oriented companies who need custom Web-based applications,
but want to focus on their core businesses. They outsource
all their IT-related needs to us. These clients also are
the ones whose servers generate the largest net profit for
the clients.
Collocated Managed Hosting
The only difference between Collocated
and Dedicated Managed Hosting is that with Collocated Hosting
you own the hardware. Therefore, you are responsible for
maintaining it and replacing it when needed. Of course,
if hardware fails we can supply you with replacements that
you can use as either dedicated or collocated. More information
about collocation is available here.
Customers who chose Collocated Managed Hosting are usually
those who are migrating their servers they own to us from
their own facility or from our competitors' data centers.
This usually happens if the cost of hosting it at their
own facility gets too high, or the service that they receive
from our competitors is not up to their high standards.
Non-Managed Hosting
With Non-Managed Hosting, you are
responsible for the OS and the software running on your
machine. Usually, we don't even have any access to your
machine. If any upgrades or patches are required, you are
responsible for applying them
Dedicated Non-Managed Hosting
With Dedicated Non-Managed Hosting,
we own and manage the hardware, while you manage the software
and OS. This is usually done when clients want to use their
internal development team to manage and mantain their OS
and software for proprietary and confidentiality reasons,
but don't want to be bothered with the maintenance and management
of the hardware. More information about dedicated hosting
is available here.
Examples of clients who use dedicated non-managed hosting
are companies who have their own devlopment teams but not
high-speed connectivity to the Internet. They also usually
choose this option if they are just beginning to embark
on a new project, before any hardware is purchased.
Collocated Non-Managed Hosting
With Collocated Non-Managed Hosting,
you own and manage everything: the hardware, the software
and OS. This is usually done when clients want to use their
internal development team to manage and mantain their OS
and software for proprietary and confidentiality reasons,
and already have their own hardware that they feel comfortable
maintaining. More information about collocation is available
here.
Examples of clients who use collocated non-managed hosting
are companies who have their own devlopment teams and hardware,
but not high-speed connectivity to the Internet. Clients
who want to offer basic hosting services to their own clients
usually choose this option. Their own system administrators
manage the machines from a remote location.
