Hosting

Amco IT Systems is an International business and maintains hosting infrastructure in the UK, Germany and the US. These different geo-locations not only provide the company with robustness, they also allow us to undertake intercontinental backup of data. This is important for clients whose data is business critical.

In addition to hosting in different countries, Amco IT Systems also maintains servers that are either Windows-based or Linux based. Whatever your software requirements, Amco IT Systems will have a hosting solution designed to fit your application needs.

Amco IT Systems hosts large numbers of websites for a wide range of clients. Whilst some clients require load-balanced multi-processor machines in special configurations, smaller applications can run quite happily on premium shared servers. There is no point in buying more server performance that you require. Amco IT Systems allows your hosting requirements to evolve as your online business grows.

The Amco IT Systems server network is maintained by a dedicated and responsive group of engineers and technicians. Unlike many hosting companies, we can even be contacted directly by phone.

Global Network

A recent Amco IT Systems innovation is the use of a large global network of machines that have local connectivity across all the major time zones around the world.

This infrastructure can be thought of as a truely global network of load-balanced servers. When somebody in a country requests data from globally hosted Amco IT Systems domains, content is delivered directly from a close local server. The result is that the system has massive redundancy (i.e. it always works without going down) and local everywhere hosting (pages load super fast wherever you are on the planet).

Until recently, this type of hosting infrastructure was only available to the very top Internet brands. Today, Amco IT Systems delivers equivalent performance for a fraction of the cost.

Disaster Recovery

As IT systems become ever more critical to business operations, the need for disater avoidance becomes ever more pressing. Amco IT Systems takes a multi-layered approach to this.

At the lowest-level, we only use high performance servers that reside within major data centres. All major data centres typically have two or three different electricity supplies and a similar number of different telecomms suppliers.

Our machines use multiple power supplies as well as multiple disks that make mirrored copies of data. On top of this we can provide timed backups of data out of the data centre to other locations - typically in a different continent. By adding loadbalancing we end up with extremely robust server networks.

No matter how much infrastructure you put in place to avoid a disaster, disaster can still strike. If data gets accidently overwritten or lost then we are able to work backwards through the numerous different levels of backup to recover key information.

As with any disaster recovery system, the level of cover is defined by cost. If you want to find out more about the different options available for Amco IT Systems Disater Recovery, then contact us today to get a quote.
