August 30, 2001 - In order to assist companies optimize their budgets, Cervalis (www.cervalis.com), a next-generation managed hosting and IT outsourcing service provider, is offering free cost analysis to organizations, based on each company's individual business data.
Cervalis announced this initiative last week at the Web Hosting Expo in Washington, DC to help businesses recognize the potentially drastic savings their might accrue by outsourcing their IT operations.
According to Forrester Research (www.forrester.com), companies can save between 25 to 80 per cent on the Web infrastructure costs by hosting their sites with third-party hosting vendors.
The cost analysis conducted by Cervalis, can be delivered in as little as a day after the relevant data has been gathered, thereby clearly defining the actual financial benefits and return on investment a company can achieve when measures against well defined business metrics.
"By providing this service, Cervalis is offering its expertise and leadership to the business community to help them understand and take advantage of the opportunities outsourcing affords," said Michael Boccardi, president of Cervalis. "The initiative provides businesses with what they need: concrete numbers that demonstrate the actual savings that can be realized, so that return on investment is maximized and business objectives are met or even exceeded."
Once the enterprise obtains a customized cost-benefit analysis report, it is easy for that organization to determine which Cervalis solution is suitable for their requirements. Cervalis offers a set of pre-architect solutions directed at three distinct market segments: emerging companies requiring a single server; growing companies that require multiple services with architectural guidance; and prominent enterprises where high-end and custom solutions are appropriate.
These solutions are optimally designed to address most customers' functionality, scalability and performance needs. Cervalis designed its offerings this way to ensure a high degree of success in execution and to meet stringent service level agreement.
Indeed, the company's expertise lies in secure, managed hosting solutions that enable speed-to-market and enhance4 the way companies conduct mission-critical business on the Internet.
Despite the fact that Cervalis is barely a year old, the company has succeeded in landing big name clients. In conjunction with a noted European e-business firm, Cervalis help launch Virgin Atlantic Airways' online sweepstakes. The company also won the business of ChatBroker International Ltd., an Internet-based interactive customer service software builder that primarily provides its services online.
Cervalis won these contracts due to its advanced service offerings. Though the company does operate its own state-of-the-art, 70,000 sq. ft. Internet data facility in Dutchess County, NY, its main focus is upon offering quality, value-added managed hosting. For this reason, Cervalis specializes in offering advanced DBA services, backup services, e-commerce, intrusion detection, network load balancing, VPN, remote access and network and Web monitoring.
The company also differentiates itself from its competition by basing its operations on six, sound principles.
Firstly, "speed-to-market" is a prime concern. Inventory of ready-to-roll servers, communications hardware and bandwidth-on-demand ensure near immediate availability.
Second, the company focuses on providing "exemplary customer service" through providing a total satisfaction guarantee policy, ensuring that the same skills that Fortune 500 companies rely on every day are transmitted to the small and mid-size business.
Thirdly, the company ensures "economies of skill" through it experienced team of management and technical professionals. Fourthly, the company ensures "economies of scale" through a fault-tolerant, highly scalable infrastructure that can accommodate a customer's growth.
Fifthly, Cervalis offers a 24x7x365 managed environment so that its managed hosting clients can focus on their core competencies.
Sixthly, the company offers attractive return-on-investment (ROI) through significantly low initial and ongoing investment, while providing protection for technical obsolescence and immediate access to burstable capacity.
Since ROI and cost-benefit is key concern to Cervalis, it is recommended that small to medium enterprises obtain a free savings estimate. The free, customized cost analysis is available at Cervalis' Web site (www.cervalis.com) or by calling 866-602-2020.
