Enterprise Hosting is a data center term that refers to the outsourcing of some or all of a company’s software to hosting providers who may also offer training, backup, recovery and upgrade services.

For many companies, the prospect of developing an enterprise hosting solution can be cost-prohibitive in terms of the physical infrastructure, equipment and highly trained staff that are required to create and maintain a true 24/7 hosting solution.

Enterprise hosting services include a range of hosting and management capabilities that equip organizations with a global, secure network infrastructure. Designed to support business applications inside high-performing facilities, enterprise hosting services help ensure continuous availability, optimal routing and secure delivery of data.

Enterprise hosting solutions may be tailored to satisfy a range of business needs, including:

• Data security
• Data storage
• Intelligent content distribution

• Multiple-carrier failover IP connectivity
• Utility computing and virtual services offerings
• Professional services
• Virtual private networks (VPN)

Advanced enterprise hosting devices offer a tremendous breadth of hosting services — from fully managed solutions with a comprehensive range of applications management capabilities to reliable disaster recovery and business continuity services.
