Host a business server or application where an agreed hosted architecture is suitable.
Hosted systems / Rentways services
Business cloud hosting.
Move beyond “put it in the cloud” to a plan for how systems should run.
Plan hosted business systems around workload sizing, access, migration and recovery requirements.
Discuss this serviceThe business problem
Make room for better work.
A hosted system still needs the right capacity, access controls and a considered way to move existing workloads. Without that planning, the move can leave important dependencies unclear.
A considered approach
Cloud hosting begins with the workload: what it does, who needs access, what it depends on and what recovery would mean for the business. From there, hosting and migration requirements can be scoped against a suitable architecture.
Where it can help
Useful for real, repeatable needs.
Review access requirements for staff and business systems.
Plan a migration by identifying workload dependencies and the practical steps to move.
What we would scope
Clarity before commitment.
The proposal should say what is in, what needs to be checked and what depends on availability or agreement.
- Review workload requirements, sizing assumptions, access and dependencies.
- Agree migration planning and any required testing or cutover approach.
- Define backup and recovery requirements in the proposed architecture; neither is assumed to be automatic.
Before a recommendation
A good fit depends on the details.
- Capacity should be based on the workload and expected use, then reviewed as needs change.
- Data location, backup design, recovery objectives and ongoing support must be explicitly confirmed.
- No South African data residency, fixed uptime or disaster-recovery arrangement is implied without an agreed architecture.
Questions worth asking
Frequently asked questions
If your requirement is more specific, send it through and we can establish what needs to be confirmed.
Does cloud hosting automatically include backups?
No. Backup design and responsibilities need to be specified in the agreed architecture and service scope.
Will our data be hosted in South Africa?
Data residency is not assumed. The hosting location must be confirmed for the proposed architecture.
Can you migrate an existing server or application?
Migration can be planned after reviewing the workload, dependencies, access and practical requirements. The work and approach are confirmed in scope.
Is disaster recovery included?
Disaster recovery is not implied by hosting alone. Recovery requirements, design and responsibilities need to be agreed explicitly.
