servers are great while they're working — you don't notice them. But when they fail the consequences can be serious, perhaps devastating. For any business, unless you have sufficient time, resources and technical expertise, a managed solution is the failsafe answer.
what can go wrong? Well, lots of things. For example, hardware can and does fail, and at any time.
Without managed hosting, if your own server goes down, it's you that has to make that late night call or even get up yourself to drive to the data centre to fix it - assuming, that is, that you have the right components to hand.
managed hosting is...
...in a nutshell, where the management of the hardware, networks and the critical patching of your servers is the responsibility of another party.
A managed server is, if you like, your server but with extra features and support. It comes with the hardware, a choice of operating system, routing equipment and network connectivity.
It will be set up and running for you. But, unlike any other level of hosting, a managed hosting provider will typically handle most of the administrative tasks on the server leaving you free to concentrate on your business.
What kind of managed hosting?
Before deciding on your managed hosting requirement, it's worth considering if you would benefit from a dedicated server.
Does your site have high-traffic or complicated e-commerce software? Do you need customised applications?
And if you need a dedicated server, consider what other services you need your web host to provide.
You may want security, firewalls, monitoring and reporting, data back-up and so on. If that's the case, then you'll need a managed hosting plan.
is your data safe?
Power and Air Conditioning
2 x 1700 kva Generator back-up @ N+1
UPS system — redundant parallel formation @ N+1
Diverse Power Supplies with diesel generator backup
This makes it almost impossible for there to be a service outage due to a loss of power.
Close control downflow air conditioning units to guarantee stable temperature and humidity @ N+1
2 independent AC systems DX & chilled water @ N+1
2.5 MVA of UPS conditioned power @ N+1
These ensure that the humidity and temperature stay absolutely constant at the best level for our servers to operate in.
security
These 3 systems combined mean, even if the worst was to happen, and a fire was to break out, it would be extinguised with chemicals in seconds, the servers which store your data will be unaffected.

So why not give TS4B a call to discuss your hosting requirements.
