IS’ Hosting Only solution is a unique concept in hosting services in South Africa. The solution is the most cost effective option allowing clients to access their server directly inside the IS Internet Data Centre via a dedicated leased line while leveraging off of IS’ infrastructure and management.
The architecture of the Hosting Only solution is designed to give IS Hosting customers a dedicated link from their premises directly to the network segment within the IS hosting environment where their servers are hosted, whether it is on the public backbone, or on a private DMZ.
Features
IS has defined 3 variations of the IS Hosting Only Line service. All 3 incorporate standard monitoring and fault management of the line. Traffic charges are not applicable with any of these services. The customer can elect to rent a router from IS which is placed on site, but if a spare Wide Area Network (WAN) port is available then it can be utilised.
Benefits
- Dedicated Traffic for communicating with hosted applications: IS offers fully bi-directional, guaranteed Traffic to the IS Hosting environment. The line Traffic is dedicated and throughput rates are not subject to fluctuations caused by other Internet traffic. There is no traffic charges applied to the IS Hosting Only Line.
- Fully managed and monitored solution: the service exploits IS’ advanced infrastructure which provides for the monitoring and fault management of the link. Utilisation graphs are available from the IS Customer Zone.
- Retain permanent control of hosted servers: the permanent connection to your hosted servers ensures that updates and modifications to the site can be easily made. You can also integrate live data feeds with your application, or capture data, from the site back to your Local Area Network (LAN), in real-time.
- Solution variations cater for different requirements: if required, IS Hosting can offer rented routers, IPSec enabled lines or hosting access via the same physical line which provides Internet connectivity.
