Can Interhost ‘sort out’
the existing network? |
 |
| |
Yes. Server consolidation
is an area where Interhost have excelled. Companies
that have evolved and bolted on a number
of systems can often be running inefficiently.
Interhost can address these issues by surveying
the current systems and providing an alternative
progressive solution, often taking into
consideration budgets and investment periods |

|
Are we too small
for Interhost? |
|
| |
We support networks that
range in size from 2 users to multi site
WANs with 100s of users. If a network and
the data on it is critical to your business,
it has to be maintained professionally.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Are we too big
for Interhost? |
|
| |
The larger a company has
grown, the more its financial directors
will understand the need for efficiency
and professionalism. Interhost deliver solutions
to optimise investment. The 2011 Gartner report suggests that hosted desktop returns financial benefit for any firm up to 500 users.
As leaders in the
field of IT we are often more advanced in
certain fields of technology than any one
in-house IT engineer can be expected to
be. Permanent IT staff may fall ill, take
holidays, in fact there are a host of reasons
why the decision to outsource may be taken.
Very often Interhost will perform more complex
requirements for an IT team, or help to
instruct that team in a particular project.

|
Can we trial Interhost? |
|
| |
There is no obligation
to take out any support contract with Interhost;
it is simply a more economical option if
a long term support strategy is being adopted.
Projects are undertaken at standard daily
rates should a company wish to ‘test’ the
Interhost working practice, and contract periods
and release clauses are extremely flexible.

Why
would we use Interhost? |
|
| |
Every business would like
to be as profitable as it can be. In order
to do this it has to address various areas
of business. In some cases business with
no IT knowledge aren’t in a position to
make IT decisions as they are simply not
informed enough about IT. Interhost provide solutions
that will make a business perform to its
best potential in the area of IT.
At Interhost our attention to detail, operational
excellence and customer intimacy allow us

involve solution rather than blame. We deliver
reliability with effectiveness and accountability,
allowing your business to prosper and both
of us to forge a long term relationship. |

|
Will we need to
upgrade everything? |
|
| |
Very often the profitability
of systems relates to its efficiency. If
a system is producing results well, and
will continue to do so securely and cost
effectively, there is no need to change
it. Change is only made when it is the right
thing to do. Interhost often employ a gradual
upgrade process which allows goals to be
met over a defined period accommodating
budget and real time office scenarios.

|
|
What does the support
contract cover? |
|
| |
Some clients may choose to take out an additional support contract to cover work at the customer site as opposed to the hosted systems. |
|
| |
|
|
|
Do you cover all
operating systems and applications? |
|
| |
As Microsoft Certified
Partners we deal predominantly with Microsoft
based systems. These are often a platform
on which bespoke applications are run. Interhost
are happy to support bespoke applications,
although normally all 3rd party products
will have their own support systems in place
and therefore Interhost would be involved more
in a liaison role to accelerate the process
of fixing any problems
Interhost are also proven specialists in the implementation
of a thin client environment. This is a
well-established means of driving-down total
cost of ownership (TCO) and increasing return
on investment (ROI). Deploying all of a
company’s desktop applications on a centrally
located server farm can lead to visible
cost savings.

|
| |
|
|
|
Do you visit sites
regularly? |
|
| |
Using today’s numerous
possibilities for connectivity Interhost’s engineers
are able to create remote links to our customers’
sites. We can take control of servers and
other critical network components and therefore
respond to network problems immediately.
If we cannot resolve a problem remotely
we will attend onsite. |
