Virtual hosting in the cloud

Save money and improve business agility. A cloud for every business type.

Whether you are an established business looking to embrace the cloud to reduce total cost of ownership or need an offshore presence fast - Synapse Hosted cloud services deliver.

The requirements of small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) are simple: robust and reliable IT services. Unfortunately they often don't have the resources or budget to meet their ideal IT needs. A hosted model of cloud-based services fits the bill for SMBs, allowing them to benefit from up-to-date technologies without the large capital investment in IT infrastructure and equipment.

Cloud computing has different implications for larger businesses. Enterprise CIOs are increasingly focused on utility and cloud-based IT services that can extend their ability to pool resources, simplify provisioning and take advantage of all the benefits of a virtual infrastructure, whether through internal cloud-like infrastructures based on VMware or external clouds that can run mission-critical applications in a flexible, dynamic manner. Business cycle times are shortening and driving the need for a highly elastic infrastructure that gives companies "flex" capacity to meet fluctuating business needs. Other important requirements are SLAs, security and application compatibility. To maximize ROI, companies need to be able to leverage existing skills and code.

The needs of both SME and Enterprise businesses is met by Synapse cloud hosting services.

New Businesses can be up and running in minutes not hours using one of Synapse's proven solution templates. Businesses benefit from an ‘enterprise' class service hosted on highly redundant infrastructure in two hosting centre's incorporating both backup and full business continuity.

"We have invested huge amounts over the last 3-4 years to be the best at what we do making the choice an obvious one when a business decides to throw off the shackles of managing expensive in-house IT systems such as email, file sharing, customer management and data backups. When you realise there is NO upfront capital investment and your monthly charges scale down as well as up because you only pay for what you use, it seems crazy that any business under 100 employees would consider going down the route of buying, operating and maintaining their own systems. Hang onto your cash - don't buy servers and licensing - Pay as you use."
