2 Operating in today's business environment is challenging enough for mid-sized businesses without having to keep up-to-date with the latest advances in technology Your infrastructure needs to work faster and be available 24x7, 365 days a year When your systems are down, time is lost, money is lost, and all eyes are on you. Even two minutes can feel like an eternity especially when your reputation is at stake

3 What options are available to M-businesses? Do-it-Yourself - this is an approach to managing IT systems, where a business retains complete ownership and responsibility for set-up, operations, maintenance and support with equipment physically located in their own offices Colocation/Infrastructure Outsourcing - this involves the sub-letting of space, power and network access within a purpose built, highly resilient data centre. The customer maintains the management of its IT systems & computing operations, however most colocation providers will offer a number of technical support packages and value added services Managed Hosting - businesses may choose to outsource their IT systems and computing operations. Outsourcers typically provide an end-to-end, customised solution for their customers, assuming responsibility for the physical infrastructure, management of a customer's IT systems & computing operations
