About Boxed Office

Cost

Traditionally, to have your own hosted windows server would have meant a lot of upfront costs, in terms of licensing, purchasing of hardware, hosting and of course management. Boxed Office products remove these issues by allowing you to pay for the server as you go, with a fair monthly charge.

With a Boxed Office solution, you get the benefit of: -

  • Allowing software licenses to grow as your business grows, without large upfront costs
  • Simple monthly price lets you see how much a Boxed Office product will cost you today, and 12 months down the line


Fully Hosted, Centralised Server

With a centralised system, youre never away from your business. Our hosting of your services allows you to access your server from anywhere in the world, simply and securely.

Our hosting facilities allow us to ensure you server is safe and secure at all times, so no need to worry about the security risks in keeping your server and its data on your premises.

Resiliency

With a Boxed Office solution, youre not just buying a server, youre also buying resiliency. Our servers are constantly monitored for potential hardware problems, and if we do encounter an issue, we can quickly (1-3 minutes) migrate your complete server to another platform, you wont even lose the files you have open!

In the event of unexpected or unpredictable problem, our systems will migrate your server just as quickly, and as if your server had simply been unexpectedly rebooted. In this case, you will only lose the system state (unsaved files etc).

In addition, all your data is stored on our SAN (Storage Area Network), which means your data is protected at all times, and constantly backed up. We backup your essential information every 12 hours and hold it for 7 days, giving you constant peace of mind.
