Hosted applications

Wired Workplace, through the SYDC, is going to launch a range of subscription based application services targeted at businesses, initially in South Yorkshire. The idea is that using hosting reduces cost of ownership and provides a more secure and efficient environment for applications than doing it yourself. Does this appeal? Which applications? Have you any previous experience of hosted application services or SaaS (software as a service)? Can you rate the following as key factors?

• Ease of implementation
• Ease of use
• Performance
• Range of applications
• Quality of support
• Cost

Data centre progress

Having taken possession of the new data centre just over a week ago work progresses apace on fitting out the first floor. Air con is complete, UPS and generator have been delivered and most of the electrical work is near complete. The racks are being delivered today and we should be up and running by the end of the month as targeted.
