The pandemic and lockdown has businesses all over Cyprus finding ways to work via online communications. Never has the need for a secure and efficient computer network been greater.
But, especially for a small business, the investment in a dedicated server, a VPN for security, data storage, and all the relevant software can come to three-to-four thousand euros. To that cost, must be added dedicated IT support fees – on-call computer service can also be very costly.
Even more costly is the downtime that a business must suffer if a computer system is not carefully maintained.
NetShop ISP, based in Larnaca, has a new approach for businesses that offers all these services in a full package.
Called IT-as-a-Service, the new approach provides immediate and direct access to IT solutions based on a subscription model.
“We offer on-demand pricing for businesses of any size: Customers have the convenience of having to only pay for what they actually need with a minimum or even zero-presence of in-house IT staff,” explains NetShop ISP CEO Stefano Sordini. “This reduces the expense substantially for a business, saving investment and work time.”
“The offer is for a turnkey solution with 24/7 Technical Support and Maintenance, Software licensing, Cyber security management – for a predictable monthly-based subscription charge and without any IT Hardware purchasing expenses,” Sordini continues. “All of the services work from a secure Private Cloud,” so that there is almost no disturbance to your business operations.
In business since 2004, NetShop ISP can make this kind of offer, because it is an award- winning data centre Services & Server Hosting Provider with privately-owned Infrastructure in Cyprus, Malta, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Singapore, Los Angeles (US West) and Hong Kong.
The company has been developing and maintaining a reliable and cost-effective infrastructure environment for high-profile businesses for sixteen years.
The full offer includes:
- 24/7 IT Support
With ITaaS, you outsource all IT support and maintenance functions, and know that whatever time of day, your IT services are supported by a specialist team with a round-the-clock coverage. - Pro-Active Monitoring
