Managed Hosting Services - Components
Managed Hosting is right for customers who are looking for a turnkey solution that includes space, power, network, hardware, software and all the services required to keep the product functioning.
As with all of our services, customers can choose the level of additional Managed Hosting Services dependent upon their needs. Here is an overview of the components in many of our managed hosting plans:
Monitoring & Management
GSI’s secure hosting environment is built specifically for protecting confidential data while still allowing you to do business. Our customized management levels include everything from
simple backups to functioning as your IT department. Our flexibility lets you choose which areas we can help you the most, rather than forcing the “all or nothing” management approach of traditional data center and hosting providers. This customization helps you
increase security and efficiency as GSI will augment your current IT operations only where we all agree it makes sense to do so.
Firewall
GSI provides both dedicated and shared firewall systems to meet simple as well as complex security requirements. Because firewalls are typically your first line of defense, our network engineers work diligently to insure only “good” traffic reaches your servers.
Network Consulting
Our datacenter clients each have unique needs within their business. While no two networks are the same, many times there are similar communication needs and constraints. GSI
manages and maintains hundreds of networks on a daily basis. Our engineering staff can help you quickly identify potential or real shortcomings in network design and offer you the
best value in the solution. Network problems are not always solved by adding more network
gear.
Advanced Security
Beyond firewalls, there are whole new levels of security tools to consider when strengthening your system defenses. From network scanning tools to intrusion detection systems, GSI offers expertise in using these state of the art tools to effectively secure your network resources and quickly identify any attacks. These tools also help our clients enforce their change management policies by offering a deep insight into your computing resources.
Backup Services
GSI operates a robust data backup solution to provide assurance your data is protected. All GSI backup services begin with a disk to disk high speed backup service to quickly move
data on your servers to an offsite location. This accomplishes a key goal in regards to disaster recovery by moving data to another facility. A private fiber ring helps ensure data security as it remains on GSI-owned equipment. With the addition of encrypted
backups, you can rest knowing your data is secure.
Secure Hosting
Compliance needs such as those set forth by the PCI standard are currently driving businesses to take security to the next level. However, many of our clients look directly to GSI to help them undertake this daunting task. GSI offers both shared and dedicated solutions which are geared specifically towards helping business protect data in a cost-effective way
while still providing strong security utilizing industry-best policies and procedures.
Enterprise Managed Hosting
Infrastructure Management is our "ultimate management package" for the customer who requires mission-critical performance, reliability, and management on a 24/7 basis. With the purchase of this solution, GSI provides all the required services for hardware, O/S, and base applications. GSI also provides upfront analysis and design services to ensure the exact solution is created that will meet your technical needs. Through the Infrastructure Management service, GSI is able to create high availability solutions that eliminate single points of failure (even dual data center solutions). GSI can perform customized maintenance routines that are specific to critical system processes including security analysis, content management, application tuning, and advanced transactional monitoring. GSI is able to offer end-to-end (not just individual system) availability Service Level Agreements from 99.5 to 100%.
