Why NaviSite – Dedicated Hosting – Up-to-date Server Hardware

by William Toll

For as much as computers have changed our lives, both in business and at home, sometimes keeping pace is a very frustrating experience. It’s impossible to stay ahead of the curve- you upgrade your computer, and the next week there’s a newer, faster, cheaper model on the shelves. It’s even worse in the business world, where technology becomes redundant faster than the capital investment can be depreciated. All too often critical applications live on old, gasping computers in the back of the server room, kept alive through band aids and vague superstitions. If your business depends on the most up to date dedicated servers available, outsourcing is the answer.

Why NaviSite – Dedicated Hosting – Class Leading Add Ons

by Sumeet Sabharwal

When someone thinks about a perfect meal, the dishes vary depending on a person’s particular tastes, but usually most of the same elements are present for all of us- a satisfying main course, with several complimentary side courses. Take the example of a holiday turkey with all the trimmings. The turkey may be the foundation of the meal, but without the stuffing, gravy, vegetables, rolls, pies, and other side dishes, it’s unlikely it would hold such a special place in people’s hearts. This same quality holds true when considering your managed dedicated server host.Like a lonely piece of meat in a meal without any complimentary dishes, a vanilla server with no add on services to maximize value and performance is usually found lacking.

Why NaviSite Dedicated Hosting- Free Server Monitoring

by Sumeet Sabharwal

There’s an old saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and nowhere is that truer than when it comes to running your data communications infrastructure. Most of the problems that plague IT managers- hardware failures, network congestion, storage capacity shortages and more- could be avoided with proper attention to monitoring practices. Unfortunately most SMBs don’t have the resources to adhere to ‘by the book’ monitoring. Instead they have to roll the dice and deal with inevitable outages as they occur.

Judged by the company it keeps- Your managed dedicated hosting provider

by William Toll

We’re judged by the company we keep. It’s human nature, and while it might not always be fair, spend time with unsavory characters and people will draw conclusions. When it comes to comparing the networks of managed dedicated server hosts, we’d be wise to follow this advice.

The fact is not all data networks are created equal. High end servers, fiber optic cables, and blistering fast routers and switches don’t do any good if they don’t talk to anything, but all too often small and medium sized business end up putting too much focus on the back end infrastructure. The obvious example is a shiny new shopping mall, but the only way to get to it is by driving down a long unpaved road.

A data center that has connectivity to multiple backbone peers delivers redundancy to the servers that are hosted there, but that is just one benefit, and in some ways not even the greatest one. The risk of losing customers or users due to a total network outage isn’t what it used to be. Even consumer grade connections are more reliable than ever before. The trick isn’t simply having a reliable connection; it’s having the fastest connection possible.

Lower Your Business Risk with Backup Solutions

by William Toll

“We don’t have a backup.” If you’ve spent any time involved with information technology, those five words inspire a sinking feeling in your stomach, because let’s face it, we’ve all been there. No matter how thorough and detailed your backup plans were, the data you needed didn’t get backed up. And all too often, it’s because of human error, as the great playwright said, “to err is human.”
