What Does PlanetMagpie Add to SBS Capabilities?
Automated Backups. Our San Francisco Bay Area data center uses virtualized rack-mounted servers as a private cloud. Which makes backing them up very easy. Our automated routines run daily, and VPN off to a remote site where the backups are safely stored.
Firewalls. Hardware-based AND software-based firewalls protect your servers (and ours) from hacking attempts, phishing, Denial-of-Service or DoS attacks, viruses, etc.
Email Storage. Our server capacity lets you take full advantage of Exchange 2010 (default mailbox size is 2GB, additional storage at extra charge).
ModusGate Email Filtering. Another layer of protection against email viruses, phishing and spam.
We have a pretty worry-free picture with this, don't we? Your own SBS 2011 server, humming along in our datacenter's private cloud. Handling your co-workers' shared files, sending their email, granting on-the-go workers remote access. It's backed up every day. The risk of exposure is minimal.
How Much Does a Hosted SBS 2011 Server Cost?
You might think a hosted option like this is expensive. Quite the opposite. In fact, it's much more affordable than running a server in-house. The necessary hardware for a Small Business Server can run $5,000 and up! Let alone the cost of in-house support, at an average of $1,000 per month.
Compare that to:
Setup Cost -
$0
Maintenance Cost -

Included in this rate is:
