Introducing Titan Hosted Applications Services

A service offering that allows you direct access to all of your company files, folders, emails, and software applications such as Microsoft Office, accounting, etc from a secure centralized ‘virtual server’ accessible from any computer in the World!

But it doesn’t stop there – what if your company needed to use an application for several weeks to put together a comprehensive project? Instead of purchasing the software Titan will simply enable you to rent the program for as long as it is needed, and once your project is complete you can cancel the subscription!

 

What Are Titan Hosted Application Services?

Hosted Applications – Consider that Titan are the hosts, and we invite you to use our hardware and software for all of your business needs. Hosted applications are a part of the newest IT phenomenon also known as ‘Cloud Computing’.

Simply put, instead of using your own local file server/computer to access your company files, emails, programs, etc, you will access a server physically located at our secure data center. By inputting your user ID and password you’ll have access to any of your company files you have authorization for. Furthermore the server operates just as your own personally owned server/computer would, and the data is completely encrypted so no one from outside your business will have access to your own information – Even Titan won’t have any form of access to your files!

Once you log on you are directed to your virtual desktop and will be able to access programs and files as you normally would – eliminating the need to learn a new software system to use our hosted applications! This virtual desktop is accessible from any computer workstation or laptop with access to the internet, even from your home, so you can work anytime and anywhere.

Furthermore the program is completely and fully customizable to meet with your business requirements and needs. Standard desktops all include Office, but what if you need a specific accounting software, email, or a drawing program – whatever your company uses, Titan will ensure that your personal hosted applications service will meet all your requirements.

 

Questions to Ask Yourself

(Q) I already have a server, why would I want to use your virtual server?

(A) Because it costs time and money to maintain and update servers. Titan has a ‘server farm’, over 30 Sun servers stacked in our data center to provide access to vast resources, hospital grade power grid, back-up generators, fibre optic redundant internet lines, 24 hour security, and complete climate controlled environmental controls. To build and maintain such a network would be prohibitively expensive for almost all business operations.

(Q) What is a virtual server exactly, and how would I use it?

(A) A virtual server is just a server which is connected to your IT network via an internet connection. When you go to open a file folder, the server being accessed is located physically at the Titan data center. Any files you save are also saved to this location. The files are accessed just as you normally would any file – through your company file directory. Physically it will look the same as any other file folder, the only difference is that it is not located onsite!

(Q) OK, so I want to use your virtual server, but what happens to my existing server?

(A) At Titan we don’t believe in putting your assets to waste – we can modify your existing server to act as a local back-up to your company files and information.

(Q) I have never needed to use a server for my business – why would I need to change the way I store and retrieve my data?

(A) Studies have shown that almost 90% of companies who lost their data were out of business within  year of the event. Your business is built on your client data and company files – and as such can you place a cost on its protection? Another reason to choose Titan’s Hosted Application Services is that you’ll be complying with national privacy acts as your information is encrypted above industry standards.

Other benefits of using a server is that you’ll have a central information access point for all the computers in your business, you can manage your employee password system, and most importantly because your information is on one server it becomes easier to protect by backing up data files on a regular basis.

(Q) OK, I understand and appreciate the above, but how will I benefit from switching to Titan Hosted Application Services? How will it save me time, money, and make my company more productive?

(A) Many organizations are moving to, have moved, or are considering moving over to some kind of hosted application service. However, Titan has been connecting its clients through the power of virtualization since the 80’s. Most of our major film and TV productions have a secure link to their parent studios in the States as we understand the need for reliable, fast, and user friendly IT processes to enable a business to function. Via such products as the innovative Titan PORTHOGTM Titan is able to offer you a industry beating product line for hosted application services.
