Managed servers and managed services – the future of business on the Net.

Managed services

Is your company tired of operating its own Internet servers? Are you unsure about the reliability of your existing backup strategy? Do you worry about the reliability and security of your network?

An increasingly popular option for many innovative companies is to let ANET manage these functions.

ANET will treat your server as one of our own and provide 7x24x365 support, service, patches and updates for you.

ANET will backup your data online to our massive disk clusters in multiple locations or to tape, complete with onsite storage.

ANET will monitor your network, manage your firewall and provide redundant connectivity with automatic failover capability.

What is a Managed Server?

A managed server is a server that is dedicated to a single customer. The server hardware/software and applications are monitored and maintained by ANET.

An ANET managed server product is a customized, managed server, meaning that from the beginning your server is made just for you. You choose the components that you need today. If, down the road, you need a faster processor, more hard drive space, or more bandwidth, the upgrade process is straightforward and affordable.

The following descriptions are based upon recent hardware availability. Of course, there are numerous configurations and options available, so don’t worry if the configuration you need is not listed.

What are Managed Services?

Everyone knows the most expensive part of operating a network today is labor. ANET is ready, willing and able to allow you to outsource functions such as spam and virus filtering, security and firewall management and network monitoring.

Over the last several years the spread of spam and viruses has become epidemic on the Internet. Businesses spend thousands of dollars attempting to filter out spam and viruses. Worse yet, some don’t and fall victim to untold difficulties. ANET operates a robust, multi-server cluster of spam and virus filtering machines that quarantine potentially infected mail, ensuring that you never lose critical emails due to false positives while keeping your inbox relative clear of spam and virus-free.

Sleep easy knowing that ANET is monitoring your network. Our advanced network management system is able to email, page or voice notify you or your key employees in the event of a network incident or outage.

Enjoy the confidence that comes from multiple backups of your data in multiple locations. ANET can take automatic snapshots of your data throughout the day, storing it on our massive, redundant disk cluster. Of course, if you prefer, ANET will change tapes for you. We even provide regular hand-offs to leading document management companies such as Recall and Iron Mountain.
