Modular Managed Hosting to Keep Your Applications and Web Sites running All The Time.
Deploying your mission critical Web site without proper staffing, planning or procedures is risky.
RockSolidColo's Fully Managed Hosting Service provides your Company with the hardware, the
software, the expertise, the tools, and the rigid service delivery framework to take the capital expenditures and risk out of deploying and
managing your Web site and systems.
In any Fully Managed Hosting engagement RockSolidColo will acquire all the hardware on your behalf.
RockSolidColo will also manage all network connections, the server operating
system as well as the Web server daemon and hardware to make sure they are
continuously available and running at peak performance. The customer is
given remote connectivity to the server(s) so that they can remotely manage
their content.
RockSolidColo also maintains a large inventory of servers and hardware for all Fully Managed Hosting
customers. This is to ensure a quick recovery from hardware failure or for
customer-requested upgrades.
Benefits of Fully Managed Hosting
There are many benefits to fully managed hosting. Your company can lower its overall capital
expenditures (you don't have to buy hardware outright), improve cash flow,
improve tax position (hosting is treated as an expense and is not just a
depreciating asset), and decrease the amount of waste due to equipment
obsolescence. Upgrading a hosting platform is easy and comes at just a fixed
monthly fee. And in most instances we can have your hardware
upgrades/changes or new servers online within just a few hours. Furthermore,
RockSolidColo has the hosting architecture already in place for advanced
services, such as managed firewalls, load balancing, clustering, caching,
and content acceleration to help you scale your site quickly and with
minimal time wasted.
Hardware
RockSolidColo supports hardware from Dell, IBM and Sun in addition to generic
Intel 'white box' platforms, and all of the major server operating systems
(Windows NT, 2000, Linux (all variations), and Solaris). Let your staff
focus on strategic initiatives rather than worry about the technology
platform.
The Network
All fully managed hosting customers are connected to RockSolidColo's robust hosting
network comprised of multiple Tier I backbones (typically at least six or
more connections in each data center). The network was crafted so that there
is no single point of failure and so that data is always sent to end-users
through the most optimal connection. RockSolidColo's network performance is
consistently rated by Keynote Monitoring Systems as over twice as fast as
other networks.
Managed Services
The core of Fully Managed Hosting is
RockSolidColo's expert managed services. We expect to report to you or your IT
staff at all times and to dynamically offer customized solutions to fit your
specific business requirement - as your needs change.
