Data Center Outsourcing
Reduced Initial Expense, Quick, and
Easy
Businesses today need at least one server to run their email, web site, file storage, and
other applications. For example, an e-commerce web site and supply
chain application generally require at least one entry level server
at a cost of $1,500, plus the cost of software and ongoing support. The advances in computing and server technology
require upgrades and new servers every one to two years. Ongoing infrastructure costs for routers, switches, firewalls, rack equipment,
bandwidth, utility power, UPS protection, backup generators, fire suppression,
HVAC, the knowledge and expertise to make it all work and you can spend $500,000
to get even a basic data center up and running. Outsourcing your
service not only reduces initial capital requirements, but we also
allow you to regularly upgrade your equipment with short term contracts.
CeraNet regularly invests in proven technology, new equipment, and training our
staff to ensure we provide the most reliable data center at the most economical
costs. It also allows us to easily setup new service whether it be colo
for an individual server, multiple dedicated servers in a clustered environment,
or several racks of equipment for an enterprise level disaster recovery system.

Reliable, Predictable, and Less
Expensive to Maintain
Outsourcing data center operations to a team of qualified professionals leads to
far more reliable service. CeraNet has the expertise to manage the
facilities, network, servers, as well as specialty applications such as VOIP,
PCI complaint E-Commerce, HIPAA complaint medical records, etc. Every
member of our team has over a decade of hands on experience in addition to
formal education and training.
Reliability leads to predictability. Predictability allows you to
adequately plan new service, on-going maintenance, and eventual
upgrade or replacement of servers and applications. Predictable and
reliable service at an contracted monthly cost also allows you to more accurately
budget for technology related expenses without estimating for the numerous variables.
In addition, CeraNet provides professional service and support without the
unpredictability of personnel issues such as turnover, hiring, and training.
Many businesses underestimate the ongoing costs of running their own data
center. In addition to the initial costs for facilities, network, and
servers there are many ongoing costs for items like bandwidth, power,
facilities maintenance, IT staff and training, etc. A trusted data center
partner will reduce or eliminate your need for an internal IT staff for network
maintenance & upgrades, server procurement, ongoing server maintenance,
software patching, etc.
CeraNet offers many levels of managed and
unmanaged service that can save you 90% or more each month vs. using your own
data center.
