Managed Hosting

All organisations are seeking to enhance efficiencies, reduce ownership costs, improve service quality and ensure business continuity in their Library and IT infrastructure.

In response, Soutron offers streamlined, scalable, fully managed library, knowledge and information management systems within a highly secure IT infrastructure, network and storage facility.  And increasingly, corporate libraries of all sizes, including those with perfectly good internal networks, are turning to Soutron's managed hosting service.

Key Benefits For Your Library, Knowledge Network or Information Centre

1. No Delays

You don't have to wait for IT to get round to your system needs.  All you need is a browser and access to the internet and you and your library are in business.  And your IT department can focus on its core competencies, rather than managing a library system that might be low down on its priority list.

2. Cost savings

You don't need to budget to buy, manage and back-up a server on which to locate your library system. You don't need internal support for updates and enhancements to your library management systems as we will apply these for you.  And, because Soutron does not have to upgrade and implement software on your internal servers, we can keep our costs down and pass the savings on to you.

3.Disaster Recovery and Backups

In the event of a disaster your systems never go off-line. You don't have to think about backup procedures and what happens if it all goes wrong. You get peace of mind and you are free from attending meetings about your IT provision.

4. End User Access

Our global network that is faster and more reliable than any network a small company can manage or afford. So you can be secure in the knowledge that your users will have unfettered access and bandwidth to your library resources.

If you're an enterprise business looking to consolidate, expand, centralise or globalise your IT infrastructure this service could be just what you're looking for. A client who uses this service and operates globally told us that it was faster to implement systems using our external hosting resources and if it had been done internally it would have led to serious delays in a very important project.

"The speed and performance of the system has increased phenomenally since moving onto Soutron's new Managed Service. We have to be public facing and deliver a reliable service to users.  It's just like having our own dedicated IT network.Without the trauma." - Dr John Callow, Director Marx Library
