Managed Server Options

Firewall
Basic firewalling is provided free of charge on any Managed Server. For additional peace of mind we can offer a Cisco based firewall solution using the PIX 5XX range. This enables you to configure complex security rules for access to your server.

Costs: from £450 setup and £350/month

Backup
Host365 uses some of the best hardware available and installs RAID by default on all Managed Servers to minimise potential data loss. However, hardware failure can happen and disks and even complete RAID arrays do fail. Protecting critical customer or company information is core to business continuity and therefore regular backups are essential in that process.

You may choose to implement backups to your local network if the volume of data you need to backup is small. However, if the volume of data makes this approach prohibitive then we offer two backup mechanisms to address this potential area of vulnerability:

Network Backup
We can provide network based storage up to 20Gb of data and daily, weekly or monthly backups. We also set up the backup mechanism for you so that it is performed automatically at the desired interval and during a period of low server activity.

Tape Backup
We can provide standard tape backup to 20Gb of data with tape being archived at the frequency desired either on site or off site.

24x7 Engineer On Call
If your systems are mission critical you need to know that we can have your server up and running again before you lose business. Our Engineer On Call service gives you 24x7 access to an engineer who can help troubleshoot and resolve any problems you encounter. The engineer will have the skills and resource to either restore the server to working state or provide an alternative from a stock of standby machines.

So whether carving the Christmas turkey or traveling the globe, you will can be assured of a helping hand to maintain continuity of mission critical web servers and applications.
