Compare with buying your own server

How much does a typical server and installation cost a business? $5,000, $10,000 or $20,000 plus? Once the installer has left the door it's all upto you. Is your files and programs safe and secure? Do the backups you do everyday work? If you want to make a change, install a new program or add a new user do you have to call and wait on someone to come out? When the license for Antivirus and Spam filtering runs out what then?  And that day will come when the server fails. Staff are sitting there wondering when it will be back up, you scramble to find someone who can come in and recover it. When someone does come and they start scratching their head, what do you do? When they announce the bad news - "I cannot recover all your files from your backups", what will you do? Then the invoice comes - even if you lost important data and several days or weeks, it will be a big hit in the pocket for you.

At some point after your investment in a centralized server for your business, you want to install some new software, perhaps a customer management system. You look around and find a package you think will fulfil your business needs, so you arrange to purchase and install. On the big day, the installer shows up and declares that you need to upgrade your RAM and update the Operating System for the new software to work. Three weeks later, (and another huge bill) the new system is installed - it even works, and you get the training and the new software is configured for you. As you familiarise yourself with it, you soon realise that the promises made weren't quite what you understood...the new program and the expense either becomes a white elephant or you just persevere with a half baked solution.

Next the day comes when the maintenance and upkeep of the server tells you that it's time to replace it. Back on the expensive and time consuming merry-go-round you go.

These scenarios are not made up - they are inevitable scenarios for most businesses running a computer network.

 Compare with other "Managed" servers

OK, first off there are managed servers hosted at your local ISP - this means that you are must be constantly on-line to access your server and constantly slow - limited by the speed of the Internet. When you look closesly at these 'managed servers' you will find that more often than not, you are getting bare metal - just the hardware. when you option up with software, maintenance, support and DRP the costs skyrocket.

Then there are the managed servers hosted at your site, now you get a full speed server, but option this up with maintenance, support and backup (disaster recovery is just a backup of your data) and your costs surpass all other options and your don't get the piece of mind from knowing all possible scenarios have been catered for.

It doesn't have to be like this. An ItsManaged Managed Server answers all these scenarios and breaks the circuit of sunk costs and lost time. A managed server from ItsManaged re-establishes the responsibilities associated with owning and managing the core of a business network - the server(s), to the people dedicated to managing and maintaining business computer systems. The server, the hardware, the software, the data backups, updates, maintenance, administration, changes, additions, new programs, recovery services, replacement - everything associated with a managed server is the responsibility of ItsManaged. We have been at it for over a decade and know what makes them tick...what to look out for, where the strengths and weaknesses are...It's our business. What does all this mean for you? - nothing! All you do is use it. Nothing to fix, nothing to recover, no upgrades, updates, replacement, repairs, user manuals - nothing.

A managed server allows you and your staff to get on with the business you are best at.

When it comes to budget - that is easy too - a small, fixed monthly fee ensures you have peace of mind and known costs. No surprises. Even big surprises like a fire will not stop your business. You see, a managed server comes with disaster recovery services. For a small daily fee (while you are using the disaster facilities), you get not just your data, programs and email, but also computers, phones, fax, printing and workstations. You can keep looking after your customers and make arrangements for your new premises for as long as you need. When you are there, we'll come in and put in a new server to boot.

An ItsManaged managed server is the 'only way to go'.
