Operational Cost

Report Do you find it hard to get that CAPEX signed off each time you need to refresh or add IT hardware?

Hosting with vBridge allows you to use what you need, when you need it, and pay as you go. There is no 3 yearly hardware cycles that require large capital expenditure and that means your business cash flow is improved.

With vBridge your costs can be variable. Owner operated IT infrastructure hardware does not readily scale inwards. Once a purchase has been made your cost is fixed. We have changed that. Because you are consuming from a pool of resource it is easy to relinquish un-needed hosting capacity therefore reducing your monthly costs.

High Availability

Uptime Your IT systems need to be available to your staff, your customers, and you. Always.

Our hosting platform is designed to guarantee high levels of availability and provides protection against the inherent risks in owning IT infrastructure. vBridge’s platform uses self-healing technology that allows the detection and correction of hardware and environmental issues.

Every businesses requirement for systems availability is different. We can customise a solution that meets the availability you require for each and every system you operate. For example, you might need your website and email services to be available 100% of the time but don’t mind if your archive financial data was unavailable for a couple of hours. We’ll provide just that so you don’t over spend where it is not required.

Don’t worry about the traditional complexity involved in providing high availability. With vBridge its easy.

Worrying about technology that supports your business is a thing of the past with vBridge. We do that on your behalf. You can go back to the important task of growing your business.

Scalability and Flexibility

Cloud Systems and software change. Do you find it difficult to calculate what IT hardware resources are required? Is it hard to find time to add and configure new systems?

Hosting with vBridge gives you the flexibility to consume what you need when you need it. If you find that the initial specification is under resourced we can provision additional storage, compute, and memory capacity almost instantly and often with no or little downtime to your systems.

As you grow and your needs change we scale with you to ensure your IT hardware requirements are always met. We can make this very easy by working with you to define and create standard "best practise" templates of your most frequently used operating system configurations. Imagine deploying a new server in minutes rather than days or weeks.
