What Are The BENEFITS OF HOSTED Servers & Infrastructure?
Among a wide range of benefits, the following are often the most compelling reasons for organisations to adopt a hosted server setup.
Flexibility
Hosted servers eliminate the IT infrastructure limitations that a growing business can face.
For SMEs, the low monthly cost of a hosted server removes the hardware cost of replacing in-house servers. Our hosted setup provides a far more professional and reliable alternative. Additionally, our setup supports hybrid working and flexible remote access, something that's often out of budget for small organisations.
For larger or expanding companies, our cloud servers offer an easy-to-manage, scalable, solution. Rather than the hassle of expensive upgrade projects when your in-house servers reach capacity, our hosted server solution allows you to add, or take away extra space in minutes, meaning you only ever need to pay for the storage you're actively using.
Cost-Saving
Hosted servers remove the need for in-house hardware and software, plus associated upgrades or expansion costs. In finance terms, CAPEX becomes OPEX which generally looks better on balance books.
Our hosted solutions are also fully supported and monitored. By moving your server to our environment, you’ll remove the ongoing cost and hassle of server maintenance as an additional cost.
Finally, powering and cooling an in-house server can also cost an organisation as much as £200 a month. So by moving to a hosted server solution, you also save more money than you'd think on your energy bills.
Reliability
Our hosted server solutions offer increased reliability over an in-house server setup.
Akita’s hosted solutions are run from our two ISO 27001 and ISO 9001-accredited data centre installations, based in Maidstone and Reading. As we operate these two separate data centres, we can also replicate data between the two locations for added data security. This means that our hosted server solution can also fulfil your disaster recovery and business continuity requirements.
Variables that pose a risk of disaster to inhouse systems such as theft, accidental or intended damage, hacking or loss of connectivity are all extremely unlikely to affect one of our secure data centres, not to mention both of them making it almost impossible for your data to be lost.
