Standard Managed Server Hosting Solutions

Managed Server Hosting is the hosting solution of choice for ensuring a complete peace of mind for companies and businesses of all sizes when it comes to configuration, monitoring and management of their servers and software. A specialized team of network engineers and server administrators are engaged and trained to manage the administration of the server, the database, web and storage, security, networking, email, and virtualization. They take care of all network and server related issues through their remote monitoring and management system (RMM).

No matter which OS a server needs to run on, a managed server hosting team continues to monitor the OS and server updates and extends their support in the event of any server issue. It’s a big advantage for businesses to not have to manage it, so that they can focus on their business and concentrate on other important things which really matter to their day-to-day operations.  On behalf of their clients, the dedicated hosting team keeps their watchful eyes on their clients’ systems round-the-clock to ensure no-fault performance of their server and network.

Check out the features below that a standard managed server hosting service provider can offer your business:

·         Server monitoring

·         SNMP monitoring

·         Application monitoring

·         Application management

·         Technical support

·         Load balancing

·         Intrusion detection

·         OS and browser updates

·         Patch Management

·         Application updates

·         Software installations

·         Firewalls and Network Security

Server monitoring is a much bigger job than just website monitoring. The company that monitors the server knows all about the number of services which have gone down at a particular time. Around-the-clock server monitoring detects performance issues early, enabling an engineer to address them before they do harm

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) monitoring involves the process of monitoring hardware like switches, routers, workstations, printers, etc.

Application monitoring uses a reliable software program which ensures smooth running of all applications and automatically notifies the administrators in case of any issues.

Application management takes care of all applications and guarantees that everything is running as expected on the managed server solution at the same time.

Technical support is the basic requirement of any IT hosting service and includes prompt technical and customer support. A managed server hosting service provider extends an experienced and 24x7 tech support team for any technical issues being faced by their clients.

Disaster recovery is the process an organization uses to recover access to their software, data, and/or hardware that are needed to resume the performance of normal, critical business functions after the event of either a natural disaster or a disaster caused by humans.

Load balancing involves the distribution of workloads across a computer cluster, CPUs, network links or disk drives. The workload distribution utilizes all of the available resources to the fullest extent possible.

Intrusion detection is a network security technology originally built for detecting vulnerability exploits against a target application or computer.

OS and browser updates are of utmost importance as it is very essential that a client’s operating system is up-to-date with the latest security and vulnerability patches for the OS and the browser. They can refer to an update of an OS on which the server is currently running on.

Application update is similar to OS and browser update compatibility. Updating an application is also equally vital and it plays a vital role in a managed server hosting solution. With every update of an application, the hosting solution applications should have the most current update so as to insure that the services run as smoothly as possible.
