subject: Why It Outsourcing Can Be Best For Your Business [print this page] More and more businesses today are opting for IT outsourcing in preference to in-house IT control. Internet outsourcing is the method by which a company or individuals IT solutions are managed by an outside contract, at a remote, secure data centre or colocation centre.
For increased security, many data centres are located offshore, in politically neutral and financially stable countries like Switzerland or Lichtenstein. They specifically house data server computers the mainframe-style hardware from which data server programs are run. These computers may handle just one company (a dedicated server) or several (a shared server.) The IT outsourcing companies who maintain these computers and set up the programs are always offering a shared or dedicated server hosting service.
Every company has to have a data centre of some kind. Before the arrival of remote data centres, a company would have their own in-house server network, run from a mainframe computer housed in an IT room indeed, many still do.
Unfortunately, ageing IT rooms require upgrading, staffing and maintenance all costly items, and all liable to fail when you need them most. That is why more and more companies, even home businesses, are outsourcing their IT strategies to independent providers and exploiting the multiple advantages that are attached to remote server hosting.
It works on so many levels there is no need for a dedicated in-house IT room, taking up valuable space and costing a fortune in power bills. You dont have to worry about fire or flood destroying your precious mainframe, or power shut-downs losing thousands of pounds worth of orders. You dont have to worry about site security, either all that kind of thing is actually taken care of quite simply.
