Outsourcery extend SharePoint Offering with Dedicated SharePoint Server Solution

 

Outsourcery, the UK’s leading hosted IT provider has extended their Microsoft Office SharePoint services with the launch of a brand new Dedicated SharePoint Server solution. The new dedicated solution enables organisations to have their very own SharePoint server with the option to upgrade to a full Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) solution as required.

 

Outsourcery’s Dedicated SharePoint servers are designed for organisations that have the knowledge to manage a SharePoint server but not the necessary knowledge, time or capital to invest in the equipment or expertise to manage and maintain the hardware. The Dedicated SharePoint Server will provide organisations with their own server for maximum performance without having to purchase, host, manage, maintain and support a server themselves.

 

The Dedicated SharePoint Server offering from Outsourcery starts with the standard or entry level SharePoint server which provides organisations with their own dedicated HP server hosted at Outsourcery’s secure data centre facility. Other features of the product include 160GB of storage, a 99.9% Service Level Agreement, critical security updates and Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services (WSS 3.0) installed as standard with an option to add MOSS 2007 licensing.

 

The option to upgrade the dedicated SharePoint server offering with a choice of Microsoft Office SharePoint Services (MOSS) makes this solution ideal for medium to large organisations that demand more from the SharePoint platform. A  MOSS 2007 Server offers larger organisations more than the standard  Windows SharePoint Services (WSS), including business intelligence (BI) and reporting features, enterprise search functionality and enterprise content management, all of which are available from Outsourcery as part of the MOSS 2007 Standard, Enterprise and Internet Licenses. 

 

In addition to the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server upgrade, organisations utilising the Dedicated SharePoint Server solution from Outsourcery will also be able to purchase a range of additional bolt-on services in order to build a SharePoint platform that works for them and their individual needs. Some of these services include RAM upgrades, Anti-Virus Software, an SSL certificate for added security and a 24/7 support service.

 

As mentioned previously Dedicated Servers provide many benefits for businesses including the fact that they can help to reduce operational costs and offer organisations a predictable and affordable monthly fee enabling them to focus their IT staff on other important activities. Another important benefit to consider is the fact that this service enables a business to benefit from a fully dedicated server solution providing a better business class performance and increased security.

 

Other benefits include the 99.9% Service Level Agreement which ensures organisations will be fully compensated for any significant downtime, a shared hardware firewall for added security and the option to invest in further services such as server monitoring and backup services. The choice of additional bolt-on services and the choice of MOSS licensing also allows for each organisation to tailor and build their server to their exact requirements making their server work smarter and improve operational efficiency.

 

A spokesperson for the leading hosted IT firm commented on the new Dedicated SharePoint Server range:

 

“Our dedicated SharePoint servers are ideal for those organisations that have some in-house IT expertise but do not wish for the added pressure associated with purchasing a server, finding a data centre in which to locate it and the added costs of managing the hardware, power and bandwidth requirements. Ideal for businesses that need to simplify collaboration, increase access to information and improve their business processes, our dedicated SharePoint server offering gives businesses all the power of a SharePoint server but with less hassle.”

 

“Because all our dedicated servers are hosted within our very own secure data centre facility organisations utilising this service are free to go about managing their server and chosen operating system safe in the knowledge that the server will always be working and available for use. The server will be managed by the client who will have the capability to log in remotely from anywhere without the hassle of keeping the server running, so they can get on with running their business instead.

 

The Dedicated SharePoint Server from Outsourcery will be available on a pay monthly basis based on a 12 month contract, with a small one-off set up fee during the first month.
