The Gartner Group recently predicted that one-fifth of all businesses will own absolutely no IT assets come 2012. This dramatic shift in IT is made possible with the advent of the 'cloud' - the concept that IT hardware and software that traditionally resided in the office closet or data center can now act as a 'service' that is delivered to businesses over the Internet. Businesses no longer need to maintain equipment on-site as their servers and associated software are run in a state-of-the-art secure facility under the watchful eye of a 24x7x365 IT team. This, combined with BizCare's managed services, comprises our Infrastructure-as-a-Service offering, giving you the high performance, high availability, and high security that your business deserves.

Managed Security
Choose from individual services or comprehensive compliance solutions to meet your business's security needs. IT security can mean a lot of different things, depending on who's hosting your servers. Security could mean that your server is just sitting in a concrete building with limited access. Or, it may mean that your servers are sitting behind a firewall that's not even configured right. You get the idea-you might not be as secure as you think you are and need to be. And the risks are huge. For BizCare security starts with protecting the integrity of your data and guarding against service interruptions. But being truly secure means far more than safeguarding data and preventing interruptions. There are the resulting financial losses, your brand's equity and reputation, business continuity and potential litigation or fines to consider. And, when it's all said and done, paying a little more for expert security means customers will continue to have confidence in your business. That, in itself, is worth investing in BizCare's managed security solutions.
Managed Private Clouds
Build your own Cloud with the security of a dedicated environment and the reliability of a fully managed one - even integrate it with a traditional configuration. What Exactly is a Private Cloud? A Private Cloud, sometimes called an Enterprise Cloud, is simply a dedicated hardware environment (pooled resources) with a virtualization layer running on top, allowing you to create and manage multiple virtual servers within a set of physical servers. Since it's a dedicated environment, you-and only you-are living on it. Most clouds that people are familiar with are the public clouds, also known as shared clouds or private virtual servers. These clouds have hundreds or even thousands of businesses running in isolated containers within the same physical environment. And there are a lot of benefits to public clouds. But for some businesses, certain feature limitations and the implications on an application's architecture are definite drawbacks. They make it too difficult to transition from a dedicated environment to a public cloud. Private Clouds, however, are an easy step into the realm of cloud computing. Each customer is physically separated on their own dedicated hardware. Not to forget that their support is also handled like a traditional managed hosting environment. So high levels of security, reliability, performance, customization and service are simply inherent to the solution. Yet you can still scale quickly, optimize your hardware resources and get utility billing for your VMs (Virtual Machines)-which are some of the benefits that make clouds so appealing in the first place. Think of it as getting the best of the cloud combined with the best of managed hosting-without the limitations of either.
Managed Storage
Always have the right storage solution for your budget, capacity and performance needs, no matter how they evolve. What you need now and what you need months or years from now can be two entirely different things. That's why we have multiple storage solutions; so you can get the right storage now and have the right alternatives down the road. No matter how you grow and evolve, we'll make sure that you always have the right solution for your budget, capacity and performance needs. While each BizCare storage solution differs from the next in terms of growth capacity, performance, configuration flexibility and cost, they still have a lot in common. Our industry-leading Service Level Agreements back them all. And they are all fully managed-from deployment, to updates, to troubleshooting-by our experienced and certified storage experts.
Disaster Recovery Services
Fully managed and affordable IT disaster recovery solutions are now within your reach. Every business should have a business continuity plan in place. Not an idea, but a well articulated and detailed course of action to ensure that their business can get through a disaster and continue on in the aftermath. This plan includes crisis management, business procedures/processes and work area management to name a few considerations. Another important, yet often overlooked part of your business continuity plan is IT disaster recovery (DR). In broad terms, this is how you deal with and prevent IT downtime. Even if every other part of your business continuity plan is executed perfectly, you remain at a standstill if your IT systems go down and stay down. And the situation will only get worse as your revenue and reputation take a beating.
Microsoft® SharePoint
Just use and customize SharePoint as you need to. Our experts will manage the complexities of the hardware and application infrastructure for you. SharePoint 2007 is a powerful and diverse application. At its heart, SharePoint is an integrated set of server capabilities designed to improve your business' effectiveness when it comes to collaboration and content management. Exactly how SharePoint helps businesses optimize is multi-fold. It starts with the comprehensive content management and enterprise search. But it also prompts the acceleration of shared business processes and paves the way for easier information sharing across business units and boundaries. Sharing and distributing data throughout an organization is a daunting task that SharePoint is more than up for.

Managed Backup
Protect your data and business reputation by reducing the risk of losing data and having the advantage of restoring it quickly when you need to. Every year, unrecoverable data loss costs businesses millions of dollars. More than ever it's vital to have a process, like managed data backups, in place to preserve your data, maintain its integrity and keep your business operating unimpeded and without loss. In the aftermath of any disaster, whether man-made or natural, more than 50% of smaller businesses never recover from data loss. For large businesses, losing data that affects millions of customers and employees can be overcome. The recovery, however, will dramatically impact their revenue numbers and their brand reputations. Our flexible and reliable Unmetered Managed Backup service delivers nothing less than peace of mind by reducing your risk and restoring your data as quickly and completely as possible. It's all about ensuring the continuity of your business operations without you having to do much of anything, including worrying. We manage the entire solution for you-the initial setup and configuration, tracking failures and even configuration changes. Data backups are performed from your server and put onto tape media instead of a separate drive. All the while, our Managed Backup Technicians are available around the clock to monitor backup jobs, perform data restores, change configurations or answer any of your backup questions. Performing a Data Restore Restores are always top priority for our certified Backup Technicians. Once you request a file/directory restore, we start restoring the data immediately. Completion times will vary depending on how much information needs to be restored. Typically, a 200MB file takes around five minutes to be restored. Why The Unmetered Part of The Name Is So Important It allows you to backup all the data you need without having to keep track of how much you are backing up or the costs. Unlike other providers' solutions, you don't have to worry about exceeding your subscription limit or which drives to back-up. In short it equals complete data protection and no overages-ever.
