Our technicians are notified immediately when a problem occurs.  Our system administrators are notified if that problem
persists beyond a reasonable time frame (automatically).

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.
