Prominic.NET (News - Alert), Inc., a provider of managed hosting services for the entire IBM Lotus software family as well as complementary offerings from other vendors, has reportedly started ColocationPlus, a SAS (News - Alert) 70 Type 2-certified managed colocation service.

In a release, officials at Prominic said they built this new system to give users an easy access to any server, switch, router, load balancer, etc. collocated in any of Prominic.NET's (News - Alert) secure data centers. It is placed in one place - RDP, SSH, VNC, KVM over IP, FTP - centralized in an easy-to-use portal to help users to remember access credentials for various servers and protocols.

According to the company, ColocationPlus is robust hosting delivery platform to companies that wish to capitalize hardware costs or extend the life of existing, in-house servers while taking advantage of the economies of scale of a colocation provider.

"What separates ColocationPlus from the majority of colocation providers is that we offer smaller shops greater control over their colocated resources without a great deal of up front expense,” said Mark Roosevelt, Prominic's vice president of sales, in the release.

 

He said that the company’s data centers are located in secure locations in the central U.S., safely away from major metropolitan areas that includes free firewall protection, remote power, keyboard, mouse and serial control, trained technicians (Remote Hands) and as an upgrade option, the full range of managed hosting services from Prominic.NET.

He further added, “You'll never need to step foot into our data center to manage your systems." With this level of convenient and secure remote control, redundant power and Internet connectivity and Prominic's "no unescorted access" policy, ColocationPlus provides a flexible yet highly reliable solution for outsourcing your data center.”

 

Jon Schultz, Prominic.NET's president, said that, Prominic.NET has become a leading managed hosting services provider by offering comprehensive solutions to meet their customers' complex information technology requirements. And company has designed its colocation offerings to the same demanding standards.

 

Based in Champaign, Ill., Prominic has specialized in managed hosting services since its inception in 1998.
