Just about anyone can buy some computers and connect them together to create a network.

That part is easy.  The hard part comes later.

As a company grows, it buys more computers and generates a lot more data. Usually, there are no plans for how data should be organized and protected. Before long, the company relies on these computers to conduct business and keep records.  Sooner or later, this causes serious problems when important records are lost, stolen or the business can't operate because important parts of the technology are "down".

Business growth also means that the financial and human impact of lost data, downtime, viruses, spam and other issues grows much faster than your ability to react to these problems by depending on a constant cycle of break/fix. Before long, you realize that the methods that once were adequate are now costing you too much in time, money, customer confidence and employee frustration.  You start to think, "There must be a better way."

That "better way" is "ONS Managed Networks".  An ONS Managed Network is designed and operated by networking pros whose job it is to protect your network and keep your business operations running smoothly.  ONS Managed Networks are for people who like to prevent problems instead of waiting until the "wheels fall off" and then calling in hourly consultants as a trauma-team crisis response.

An ONS Managed Server is the "heart" of your Managed Network.  It's a specially designed computer that organizes and protects your company's vital business data.  ONS takes care of everything on the managed server so you can focus on your business success.  ONS is like having a guardian angel for the server’s hardware, software, applications, configuration, security, networking.  There are no hourly charges to maintain your server; it’s all included for an affordable, flat monthly rate.

ONS can also manage your workstations and notebook computers. This means that we take care of everything having to do with the data, software and configuration of your computers.  Over time, non-managed computers get loaded up with spy-ware, ad-ware, downloads, patches, viruses, key-loggers, temp files, registry corruption and many other things that slow it down and interfere with reliable, secure, efficient operation.  ONS uses advanced server technology that keeps your computers in a "pristine" condition and running reliably and securely.  If you purchase your workstations and notebooks from ONS, we’ll also take care of all hardware-related issues so you’ll have total freedom from the details of keeping your computers working.
