ASP & Hosting

Application Service Provision - What is ASP? 

ASP is the secure delivery of application software over the Internet. It means handing over certain elements of IT management to specialists. In particular it takes away the day-to-day hassle of having to manage an internal IT infrastructure.

e-know.net has developed a secure technical infrastructure that gives the ability to offer a range of flexible Hosting Solutions to meet individual user requirements. The key elements of the service delivery are summarised below indicating which feature in each of the Hosting Service options.

Five years from now, if you are a CIO with a head for business, you won't be buying computers anymore. You won't buy software either. You'll rent all your resources from a service provider.

Assured Business Continuity

Our technical infrastructure is common to all of the e-know.net Hosting Services. By outsourcing your hosting requirements to us, you can eliminate costly expenditure on security, virus detection and protection, hardware equipment, data backups, and connectivity. The resource savings ASP brings will allow you to concentrate on the success of your business rather than worry about disk drives, routers, switches and the like.

Service Levels and Support

All Hosting Services are provided under contract. Within your e-know.net ‘Membership Agreement’ the Service Levels you require will be clearly defined. As our standard offering you will be guaranteed 99.9% uptime.

Your agreed Service Level is backed up by our support desk function that will take calls and appropriate action if you experience any problems with service. e-know.net operates a Call Escalation System which prioritises calls according to the terms in your Service Level Agreement to ensure timely resolution to any issues raised. Our basic service level provides a Call Management service in Business Hours (08:00 – 18:00). Where out of hours support is required your Service Level Agreement can be upgraded to full 24x7 cover.
