Managed Hosting Service
Enterprise-level, mission critical
managed hosting servers for business applications that need the
highest levels of reliability and support.
Managed
hosting goes beyond simply renting space from a shared hosting
provider or installing your own servers in a colocation center.
Managed hosting services provide you exclusive use of server
hardware that they purchase and maintain within a colocation
facility. But the management feature also includes monitoring
services to ensure that your servers are working correctly, even
overnight and on weekends when you may not be watching.
One of the acknowledged leaders in managed
hosting service is The Planet. While you can get hosting from
The Planet for less than $100 per month, their forte is enterprise-level
mission-critical hosting solutions that are beyond the capability
of most web hosting providers. Their Northstar managed hosting
offers a service level agreement that includes 100% power and
network availability, 1 hour hardware replacement and 15 minute
critical live-person response time. You also get managed backup
and data protection, security and patch management, database
management and optimization and regular business and capacity
planning.
The Planet has extensive data center capabilities,
including a robust network with over 250 Gbps of transit and
peering capacity from 6 tier-1 bandwidth providers. There's an
optional content delivery network available with 13 nodes in
North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. They have 8 secure
facilities in Dallas, Houston and London with redundant power
backup and environmental control, plus advanced fire suppression
systems.
Part of The Planet's exceptional service
includes customizing a managed hosting service to your needs,
whether you only require a single server or a complex infrastructure
to support a major organization. They have a team of experts
to assess, design, maintain and measure your system. You'll get
peak performance and scalability without the need to manage these
requirements yourself.
Do you have server based processes that
are absolutely critical to your business and cannot tolerate
outages or slow downs? If so, you should take a look at managed hosting from The Planet.
