At one time companies turned to on-premise systems for storing and accessing shared applications and data—because there was no other option. But for today’s small businesses, on-premise servers simply aren’t practical. They’re expensive and difficult to maintain. With a traditional server, for example, you must hire a professional to perform simple tasks, such as adding or removing users, if you worry about security. Servers are also designed for centralized offices, so they can’t integrate home or mobile employees easily.
A Multi-tenant Hosted Private Virtual Server, on the other hand, uses the Internet to deliver all the features of an on-premise server—minus the costly setup and the bulky and expensive hardware. And since the Internet isn’t bound to a specific location, cloud-based servers seamlessly integrate multiple locations and remote employees. It also works with your existing PCs and new devices, so you can work from your office, or take your office with you wherever you work.
