    SLPowers' Technology on Demand ™

    There is a lot of talk about cloud computing these days but we understand that storing valuable data out in some cloud is a bit too nebulous for our mission critical business clients. SLPowers is therefore pleased to introduce Technology on Demand™ (ToD) Datacenter Based Computing.

    Representing our most comprehensive, customized and fully managed solution, Technology on Demand™ is designed to fulfill your business needs on an affordable "pay-as-you-go" model with no capital expenditures on your part. SLPowers becomes your IT department and single point of contact for all IT requests, support and services. We will manage the servers, infrastructure, applications, security and backup providing a stable and secure operating environment for your entire IT operations. At the same time your company maintains full control over the applications and business processes without having to deal with the day-to-day administration, backup and management of servers, security, connectivity, power, backup and other routine IT processes. We handle all of this including desktop management services including anti-virus, anti-spam, patch updates and more via our award winning IT Management & Continuity Platform, Guaranteed Networks®.

    SLPowers ToD - Features

    SLPowers ToD eliminates the cost and complexity of managing your own hardware & infrastructure. Our fully managed solutions have many advantages over co-location centers or in-house IT solutions.

    SLPowers ToD vs. Co-Location

    SLPowers' ToD provides more value for your investment than co-location because you don't have to buy the servers, operating system, applications and other infrastructure. The costs of the hardware and software are all covered in the monthly fee.

    ToD also addresses overall maintenance problems, eliminates the cost of 24x7 staff, and the need to hire internal experts for all of your hardware and software requirements.

    It also frees up internal IT resources from managing the mundane infrastructure related tasks allowing them to be focused on more strategic IT initiatives.

    In simple terms, while a co-location facility provides you with a location to house your infrastructure, SLPowers' Technology as a Service is a comprehensive solution providing you with hardware, software, and support for a monthly price that you can afford.

    SLPowers ToD vs. In-House IT Team

    Managing your servers in-house has all of the drawbacks of co-location plus the added costs and overhead expenses of having to build and maintain your own infrastructure.

    Office space is always at a premium and combined with the complexity of implementing uninterruptible backup, Internet and power supplies systems. The costs of building your own secure and resilient infrastructure can be very expensive.

    The risk of owning and maintaining your own infrastructure along with licensing costs quickly adds excessive costs to your bottom line and in the event that you needed to downsize, there's no way to recover those expenses.

    Shifting that risk over to SLPowers and minimizing your costs is the smart way to approach your technology.
