How does it work?

You may be wondering how we can offer a complete outsourced IT solution with so many advanced features at such an affordable price. We keep our costs low by tailoring a low-overhead solution for your IT infrastructure. We then pass the savings on to you through our low monthly subscription rates.

First, we move your servers out of your broom closet and into a datacenter where they belong. This gives you many benefits, such as:

• Monitoring – we continuously monitor your servers and our engineers respond automatically whenever we detect a problem, day or night
• Maintenance – we provide periodic updates to your software on a regular basis to keep your system in shape, all at no extra charge to you
• Lease vs. Buy – there’s never any server or network hardware to buy, and upgrades are included with your paid subscription
• Security – your server is physically secure under lock and key, and the network uses bank-grade encryption to protect your data at all times
• Environmental Controls – server hardware performs better and lasts longer in a dust-free, air conditioned environment
• Availability – your server will be more available with a high-capacity network, redundant power supply, and daily data backup
• Performance – we use Tier-1 providers to give you optimal bandwidth, processors, memory and disk

Next, we eliminate unecessary software licensing costs by using professional open source software (OSS) wherever possible. This gives you the following benefits:

• Free products: We know where to find the best OSS products, and we know how to integrate them to meet your requirements
• Free upgrades: Talented OSS developers around the globe deliver continuous improvements to your IT infrastructure
• Free access: You are never locked in to a proprietary software vendor because OSS is always accessible to you directly

Finally, we hire and train skilled IT professionals including systems engineers, security experts, and software developers:

• Onsite support (desktops, printers, peripherals)
• Datacenter support (servers, web services)
• Network support (LAN/WAN/Internet)
• Telephony support (PBX, VOIP)
