Entry level server

Overview
In detail

Your choice of entry, medium or high end server will be dictated by the complexity of the application or website you are going to host. The number of visitors to your website or number of transactions that the application will process influences the amount of memory or number of CPUs you require.

Our customers choose the NetBenefit entry level servers for a number of different uses. Examples might include a website with no, or low levels, of transactions, a specialised application server or extranet hosting.

We understand that the performance and availability of your website or application is key to your users’ experience and, therefore, the success of your business. As with all NetBenefit services, we have a team of experienced professionals that can help you find the best technical solution for your business requirements today and tomorrow.
