Enterprise Network Monitoring
Enterprise Network Monitoring provides you with the comfort
of knowing your servers and equipment are being
monitored automatically 24 hours a day, seven days a week
at 60 second intervals.
Our technicians are notified immediately when
a problem occurs. Our system administrators are notified if that problem
persists beyond a reasonable time frame (automatically).
Custom Server Software Installation
If you provide us with the license and software, installations
are included as part of your monthly service.
Data Traffic / Bandwidth
All servers have unlimited traffic
Why Choose Managed ClearCase Configuration Management Hosting?
Scalability - As traffic to your CM network grows, we can easily
upgrade your server to ensure your site's continued availability. We can add
hard drives, RAM, processors and software applications to your server to
increase its functionality as your CM site expands.
Security - Since security and privacy are major concerns
in today's e-business economy, a Dedicated Server-- reserved solely for you--gives
you peace-of-mind. Your server is physically independent of other customers'
server and hosting activity.
Easy Startup - When you need a robust hosting solution but
don't have the internal resources, Dedicated Server hosting is an ideal choice.
With a Dedicated Server, your initial investments in server equipment and
technical staff are minimal and you won't have to manage obsolete or depreciating
assets.
