NaviSite Dedicated Hosting – Business Partners for 21st Century

by William Toll

Doing business in the post Web 2.0 economy requires fresh approaches and new ways of thinking for companies of all sizes, from one man bands to large enterprises. Reliance on traditional practices means diminishing returns, and smart businesses can ill afford to stand pat while the rules are being rewritten around them. The realities of a global business environment pose unique challenges, but also great opportunities, and rethinking and adapting business models can be the difference between success or failure.

Nowhere is this more evident than in vendor partner relationships and what you should expect from them. We’re used to thinking of vendor partners as basic supply and demand relationships. That is, your business needs a supply of A and buys it from distributor B. The value of these relationships to the business is based almost entirely on price point. Customer service may play a role, but won’t trump a low cost when it comes to bottom line revenue.

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.

From Presentation to Production: Putting Virtual Dedicated Servers to work for you

by William Toll

The production cycle of a website typically looks something like this- a graphic artist designs a mockup of the site for the client to review. Once the client likes the visual look of the site, the coding team builds the website on a development server for testing, troubleshooting, and presentation to the client. After everything has the green light, an implementation team deploys a web server, configures it, and finally the site is moved over to the live production server and delivered to the client. Imagine how much easier this process could be if development and production tasks could be accomplished on the same platform and in a cost effective fashion? With a managed virtual dedicated server, this becomes a very viable option.
