CIMCO offers two types of Managed Servers
Colocation Manged Servers
In this situation, your network's server equipment can be
either CIMCO's or your own. The
server resides in your own rack space at
CIMCO's Data Center, which
allows you to physically access and manipulate it whenever you
so desire. At the same time, your server is proactively
protected and meticulously maintained through
CIMCO's network monitoring and
management. The Colocation Managed Servers option is the perfect
choice for companies whose activities and comfort levels mandate
physical access to their equipment.
Managed Hosting Managed Servers
If you have no necessity or desire to physically access your
server, the best option for your company would be
CIMCO's Managed Hosting Managed
Servers. In this scenario, all equipment is
CIMCO provided, and resides
inside CIMCO's elite Managed
Hosting environment at a CIMCO
Data Center, which provides an extra degree of security. You'll
minimize your added capital cost of IT equipment and streamline
personnel. You'll also enjoy hands-off freedom while knowing
that your server's peak performance protection is always on.
Storage at CIMCO Data Centers
Protect yourself against data loss and meet federal compliance regulations
with a dedicated storage solution at CIMCO's
state-of-the-art Data Centers.
When you store your primary and/or secondary data at a
CIMCO Data Center, it's like locking your
secrets away in a sealed-tight vault that can only be accessed by you - at
anytime you want. Your information is highly encrypted when it takes its hi-fi
journey to one of these centers, and it stays safe and secure in an environment
that sets the bar on virtual and physical protection and redundancy.
Your CIMCO Storage Solution is housed on a
dedicated Storage Area Network, (SAN). No sharing means no chance of security
breaches. Choose whether you'd like your SAN to reside in your company's cabinet
at CIMCO's Data Center, or at the Data Center's
own, secure completely managed SAN chamber. Either way,
CIMCO will fully manage your storage solution to ensure impenetrable,
scalable retention and security.
Your operations are unburdened when you offload all your backup files and
programs offsite, allowing your network to run with increased efficiency. No
matter how large or small your gig requirements, CIMCO
will configure a data dispersement plan that meets your business needs. You'll
be freeing up your system, and freeing up your personnel, too. No more wasted
manpower hours devoted to file backup or data searches.
When you're online, your CIMCO storage
solution is hard at work, storing and securing your data. So before you even log
off, all information has already been automatically, instantly saved offsite for
you at one of CIMCO's Data Centers.
Data Center Applications
Data Center Provider Replacement
Every company deals with different types of pains. Here are some common data
center applications that help IT organizations diminish their problems and
create business continuity at the same time. CIMCO
can help you create a customized plan that meets your business, IT, and
operational needs. Here's just one of many examples.
There are a multitude of data center providers out there, but do you really
know what you're getting? Many businesses have found out too late that their
providers are not flexible and willing to meet their individual needs. Some data
centers are strictly rack and bandwidth, and don't offer additional services
that might help ease your pains. Other data centers might only offer packages
deals with sometimes-useless services that you don't need or want, yet you end
up paying for the service.
Think about it...questions to ask yourself:
Does your service provider have a state-of-the-art facility?
Is your provider flexible and willing to work with you on an
individual basis?
Are you paying for services that you don't need or use?
Does your provider offer more than just rack and bandwidth?
CIMCO can help design a solution that
answers these questions and more.
