By eliminating the time, cost and frustration from hardware procurement processes, maintenance contracts, and refresh cycles, i/o On-Demand™ can accommodate a wide range of business needs.

• Hardware Refresh
  For servers and networking equipment, the typical refresh cycle is between 3-5 years. For most companies, there is a significant investment of time and effort dedicated to the procurement process. From researching and identifying equipment to receiving budget approval and purchasing, the time involved can be substantial. Once the new equipment has been procured, it must then be configured, tested and deployed - again taking up valuable time and resources. The capital investment required to purchase new hardware may be prohibitive, especially in uncertain economic times. With i/o On-Demand™, there is no need to go through this costly process. Processing, memory, storage and bandwidth is provisioned based on your current needs. And since i/o manages the hardware refresh cycle, your team can focus on your business.

With i/o On-Demand, you can rapidly scale your business' processing, memory, storage and bandwidth requirements and save the investment of capital and time. And with i/o On-Demand's virtualized environment you can maximize utilization without the need to upgrade or purchase additional hardware. Scale to meet the needs of your customers with i/o On-Demand and reduce the time and cost associated with building and managing your own infrastructure.
• Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery
  In the event of a disruptive situation, your business needs to have the IT resources available to quickly recover. At a minimum, a backup copy of pertinent data should be stored offsite. Ideally, the business continuity plan should include IT resources for maintaining transactional integrity and key client-facing applications. i/o On-Demand™ can help by minimizing the negative impact on revenue, brand equity and customer relations. With access to an infrastructure that is supported by a 100% uptime service level agreement, you can rest assured that your mission-critical business data and services will be available and accessible 24x7xForever.
