The traditional network infrastructure is fast proving to be more of a liability than an asset to your business operations. Here is why:
- Large up-front costs are painful, or price forces poor design choices to reduce pain.
- Unpredictable on-going IT expenditures can strain budgets.
- The ever-increasing technology dependence makes current response times inadequate.
- Owning and managing complex systems requires advanced knowledge & training.
- Inexpensive Internet connections pose a threat to computer services.
The Progressive Hosted Services Contract provides you with several key benefits including:
- Predictable monthly IT expenses support budgets.
- Maximum system uptime.
- Enterprise-class services at SMB prices.
- An on-demand flexible computing solution to complement any business changes.
Description:
The Hosted Services solution is a subscription service contract. It provides your business with a fixed monthly fee for the use and care of a computer network environment. The network is installed in a state-of-the-art, high security, high-availability, enterprise-class data center. It also guarantees you much greater system uptime and availability because we manage and monitor your systems.
Value:
The Hosted Services solution provides the subscriber with “peace of mind”. It removes the unpredictable cost for care and maintenance of the traditional system and provides better uptime.
Scope:
The Hosted Services solution puts the network in a datacenter and turns all end-user workstations into dumb-terminals by leveraging the power of the Microsoft Windows 2003 Terminal Server platform. This centralized computing model offers greater control and flexibility while reducing support costs at the end-user level. Advanced firewall, security, protection and backup services complement this solution.
