Shockproof Your Business Today With planB

It’s never too late to prepare a planB.

London suffered another emergency situation on the 26th July 2016 which resulted in hundreds of office workers being evacuated as emergency services closed several areas around the London Wall. The emergency was caused by a huge gas leak which has caused the police to cordon off a large area and has resulted in many office premises to be closed down for the day. A spokesman stated that the road would have to be dug up to allow for the gas to be removed and that the area could be cordoned off for a long period of time.

This isn’t the first time such an incident has occurred and yet many businesses within the City still do not have a Disaster Plan in place.

Yesterday’s incident showed how important it is to have a planB in place. The cost of downtime is huge and with many businesses within the City operating on a global basis even the smallest amount of downtime can be catastrophic. It’s no longer a matter of, if, rather than when, will an event take place that could risk the functionality of your business?

Here at Netcetera we specialise in providing enterprise class disaster recovery and business continuity solutions for businesses big and small.

From within our modern zero carbon datacentre we can ensure that an emergency doesn’t have to become a disaster.

So if yesterday’s incident has made you think about what you have in place, there’s never been a better time to get in touch to see how we can protect your business from disaster with planB or one of our many other leading IT recovery solutions.

7 Questions to ask yourself before you choose your new Host – Equipment

Part 4: Quality Server Hardware = Uptime

Following on from the introduction, longevity and history and last weeks thoughts on Support, a good Managed Hosting Provider will be using the latest most efficient equipment available so you can enjoy the best server uptime possible.

The type of servers your web host uses makes a difference!

Many budget hosts use older hardware and technology to keep costs as low as possible. Others lease servers from a datacentre provider, so if something goes wrong they will be the middleman between you and a quick fix. Their relationship and how they are managed is a problem you don’t want to ever have.

Quality hardware matters too. While a web host could be using a desktop that was on sale for £299.99 at a well known out of town superstore and set it up to act as a web server, a true web host buys and uses ONLY enterprise level equipment. This is the expensive stuff that’s built and designed to be running 24/7 with redundancy built in in terms of Power Supply and Hard Disks.

So you should find out what kind of servers they use? Are they offering shared Cloud Hosting or dedicated Cloud Hosting? Do they allow flexible cloud resizing if your business expands.

Here at Netcetera, we only buy and use enterprise rated hardware. We also only use SSD’s, and are one of the leaders in the industry to do so and not charge extra for it. SSD’s are SUPER FAST (about 15X) compared to traditional hard drives that most traditional web hosts use. They are more expensive, but because of the increase in reliability and significant increases in speed, we know it’s worth it. This type of Equipment has the added bonus that it’s kinder to the environment helping to make Netcetera a Greener host too.

PEEK BEHIND THE CLOUD

Hosting Highlight: Cloudlets

Our ‘SSD Cloudlets’ are a natural progression from shared hosting you can choose a server and memory size and pay for what you use. Prices start from just £5pm and we have a great range of options, these plans are perfect for the control freak residing in most of us.
