Dedicated managed hosting provides the best way to benefit from processes such as enhanced security, particularly if the technology is deployed quickly, one expert has observed.
Shawn Taylor, director of technology for OmniVue, pointed out that there are multiple platforms to choose from, ranging from on-premise installation to dedicated managed hosting as well as software-as-a-service, though each one has unique benefits.
"Dedicated managed hosting offers faster deployment, lower upfront costs and predictable recurring fees versus large capital expenditures," the expert explained.
Mr Taylor added that, not only do users see the additional benefits of built-in disaster recovery and guaranteed network uptime, but their IT departments are also better equipped to "focus on more pressing priorities" as a result.
According to DarkReading.com, businesses making use of managed security services are generally approaching a single provider for their needs, as they are aiming to get hold of multiple capabilities from lone providers.
