Managed Services/Hosting

More than you expect

Real People. Reliable. Responsive.

We understand that responding quickly to website and email issues is critical. If your site is down or malfunctioning, you stand to lose business. Chasing down multiple providers to find the issue only wastes your time. That’s why we offer reliable and worry free hosting services to all our clients.

It’s business 101…focus on your core competencies…

In today’s complicated business environment, no one person and one organization can know and do it all – we need to stay focused on the things we do best and align ourselves with true partners who take a true genuine interest in our success.

Knowing this, Vivid Image has partnered with one of the nation’s most respected datacenters in order to provide you a suite of managed hosting solutions, that brings you the peace of mind to focus on your own core competencies.

What is Managed Hosting?

Our Managed Hosting Services have been designed for people who don’t want to worry about technology.  We call it our “worry free solutions.”

• Eliminate the costs and headaches of hardware and operating system ownership
• Ensure maximum performance by providing the bandwidth your business requires
• Get your web infrastructure up and running quickly and securely so you can dedicate more time to your core business

Why is Managed Hosting a good solution for you?

Most web developers share one central problem – they can’t afford to provide redundant bandwidth and continually monitor servers.

In addition to this, it’s incredibly difficult to control the “code” that goes on those servers – if and when Murphy’s Law prevails, (and it does always prevail) it only takes one “bad site” to take down hundreds of “clean” sites that may reside upon the same server.

Under this special “partnership” Vivid Image manages dedicated servers that only contain Vivid Image approved web sites and code; and our “partner” (the datacenter) provides redundant bandwidth, redundant power supplies and reliable hardware and software in a safe and secure environment with 24/7 monitoring.

By being in complete control of the environment, we are able to manage and balance the security and speed of the platform, while at the same time ensuring that your site meets the high standards you’ve come to expect as a Vivid Image customer.

The Datacenter

• Multiple Tier 1 Connectivity Providers:  Our Datacenter gets connectivity from 4 different tier 1 providers. There is sufficient connectivity to withstand the simultaneous loss of 2 providers and still provide connectivity to your websites.
• Diversified Fiber Conduits: The network is built to prevent any single point of failure. The fiber for our connectivity providers enters the building via separate conduits to prevent connectivity loss in the unlikely event of a fiber cut.
• Redundant Core Routing: The datacenter is powered by a Cisco Network and employs fully-redundant Cisco routing equipment. HSRP failover ensures immediate routing cutover in the unlikely event of router failure.
• Central UPS: Our servers are supplied with conditioned UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) power that will run even if utility power fails. The UPS power subsystem is N+1 redundant with instantaneous failover.
• Diesel Generator: Our on-site diesel generator will instantly take over in the unlikely event of a power outage and it can power the facility indefinitely. The generator is routinely tested to make certain that it will run in the event of an emergency.
• Redundant HVAC: Our data center’s HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) system is N+1 redundant to ensure that even in the event of an entire HVAC system failure there is a duplicate system on standby to take over.
• Gas Fire Suppression: FE-25 gas displacement systems provide protection against fires in the server room. This serves the dual purpose of protecting your data from fire damage and allows us to avoid water damage from sprinkler system discharge.
