What
is a Dedicated Server?
|
|
A dedicated server is
the placement of a computer supplied by a hosting company. Management
of the computer hardware, operating system and basic applications
as well as the reliability and performance of the network is
the responsibility of the ISP.
Dedicated Hosting streamlines the entire development process
by simplifying component buying decisions and providing an entire
suite of Managed Services that |
 |
|
significantly increase your system's
performance while reducing the amount of time your staff needs
to be involved. |
|
|

Why
Dedicated or Managed?
|
|
You may require a dedicated
or managed server if you need the flexibility to run your own
machine but do not have the ordinarily expensive 'in-house'
technical expertise to run and manage the servers and applications.
A dedicated or managed server provides both flexibility and
'peace of mind'. The same benefits of colocation but added reliability
through:
|
|
|
|
Hardware support
|
|
|
Expert Server management
|
|
|
Expert Application management
|
|
|
Flexible capital management
|
|
