Business.ca Inc. Announces One-of-a-Kind, On-Demand Hosting Venture
Business.ca Inc. (www.business.ca) has announced the integration of on-demand computing with their custom application services, offering customized pay-as-you-go hosting solutions.
Toronto, ON – June12, 2007 - The on-demand model was originally developed to overcome the challenge of businesses having to meet the fluctuating infrastructure demands of doing business. The idea behind it is to “rent” all the technology and resources that are required for as long as a customer needs it, whether it may be on a per-project basis, or for a specifically required period of time.
This increasingly popular model is said to become the future of on-demand enterprise computing within the next few years and while companies such as IBM, HP, Microsoft and Sun Microsystems are currently the most prominent hardware vendors, Business.ca has taken it a step further and integrated it with additional custom services. Companies can “mix and match” the technology they need, including the servers, storage and applications to produce a completely dynamic and customized solution for their specific needs – at a very reasonable cost.
The platform consists of a state-of-the-art hosting infrastructure, using the most advanced blade servers on the market that support a full suite of applications and custom configurations that can be added on to any service. Key benefits for customers interested in this type of solution is that they can have access to the latest technology to do business without having to incur the risks, cost and hassle of in-house maintenance and staff.
“It just makes sense.” Says Kelvin Cheung, founder and CEO of Business.ca. “This concept fits in perfectly with our core business model: We want to be the marketplace where customers come to find ideal technological solutions for their business and we want to help customers link their business needs and goals to the right technology. Now with our new on-demand solutions, having access to the right technology to do business doesn’t mean you have to own it.”
Other benefits to consider include: 24/7 live support, 99.9% uptime guarantee, automated monitoring services and centralized tape backup. Solutions are fully managed by Business.ca, available on a monthly basis without an annual contract and are compatible with any operating system. The company has also established a state-of-the art, high security data center at the Fusepoint facility in Mississauga as the home of this exciting new venture.
“Our motto is: Leave all the technology to us. We want our customers to be able to focus on their business instead of having to worry about networks, servers and applications. It is neither efficient nor cost-effective for businesses to have to purchase and maintain all their technology resources internally. This is a far better solution – businesses can increase their profit margins for each of their projects because don’t have to go out and purchase everything they need – and get stuck with it after their use for it is over”.
Established in 1995, Business.ca Inc. provides a marketplace for companies to find ideal technological solutions, using either in-house platform or custom applications. By linking business needs, objectives and strategies to the right technology, Business.ca creates highly efficient and scalable solutions to meet the demands of an ever-changing business world.
