Do you have the highest levels of security, redundancy, reliability, infrastructure and technical expertise necessary to operate your Internet operations? In order to deliver 100% uptime, you need to ensure that your servers deliver the availability, security and performance that your customers demand. There are numerous potential problems and risks that can impact the operation of your site. In addition to failures in systems, platforms, applications, operating systems and operating infrastructures, slow site performance or unavailable services can negatively affect both customer perception and loyalty and can have a disastrous effect on company profitability.
Housing your servers in a regular office setting runs the serious and common risk of security threats, power outages and fire, to name a few. Building an infrastructure, that can parallel a Data Center, in-house is extremely costly and does not make economic or business sense. The most feasible solution is to choose a Data Center with the infrastructure, capabilities and technical expertise to build, deploy and manage your Internet operations. By outsourcing to a Data Center provider with the security, redundancy, reliability, infrastructure and technical expertise to keep your business up and running 24/7/365, you can remain focused on your core business and deliver continuous and reliable service to your customers.

In addition to ensuring that a Data Center site has the highest levels of security, redundancy, reliability and infrastructure necessary to house your servers, it is important to make sure that the site has experienced personnel to facilitate the installation, monitoring and maintenance of your equipment. Choosing a Data Center with state-of-the-art security, redundant air conditioning and power units and a 100% uptime guarantee is as equally important as the site’s technical expertise and capabili-ties. For example, does the site offer hands-on support by experienced network engineers? Or, are you on your own when it comes to any reboot or support requests?
You will also need to decide if you are going to purchase your own equipment and colocate it at the Data Center or if you want to lease equipment owned by the Data Center. In this option, known as managed servers, the Data Center owns, maintains and manages the equipment. Not all Data Centers offer both colocation and managed server options. Choosing a Data Center site with 24/7/365 on-site network engineers with proven experience in installation, repair, monitoring, replacement and configura-tion removes the need for you to make regular trips between your office and your equipment. However, few Data Centers provide hands-on support to their customers. In fact, most won’t even touch your equipment. OnRamp is different. Experienced network engineers with application-level expertise are standing by, ready to help with customer installs, configuration, maintenance and repair. Even customers who want simple colocation are able to trust that OnRamp has the correct tools, equipment and resources that only an application-level service provider would use. In fact, customers often use OnRamp as an extension of their IT department, ensuring that every need is filled and every contingency is addressed.
