Buying and installing networks is an expensive proposition - and a hassle. But maintaining an in-house network is perhaps the most expensive cost of ownership. Network servers, operating systems and applications require constant maintenance, repair, upgrades and administration. Personnel costs alone can often exceed the cost of our NetHost service, where your software applications are hosted, maintained and managed in our state-of-the-art Data Center.

It's a never-ending cycle. Technology vendors are constantly discontinuing products and superseding them with new products. Companies are "forced" to upgrade and refresh in order to remain current and competitive. Often, delaying or not performing upgrades and refreshes results in loss of technical support. With Venture's NetHost Service, you'll never have to upgrade servers, server operating systems, and backup systems. You can take advantage of your current investment in Windows workstations for many years. In some cases, you can even take advantage of new, low cost "thin clients", which do not require a hard drive, have minimal working parts and are far more reliable than a PC.

How long could your business survive without its data network? An hour? A day? A month?

The typical office LAN has several single points of failure. If the primary server goes down, the entire network becomes unusable and worker productivity comes to a screeching halt. Venture's Data Center is completely redundant. There are no single points of failure. Our servers are clustered and our data storage systems are fault tolerant. Our Data Center engineers monitor, manage and administer our systems around the clock. We constantly test, and upgrade our systems to ensure security, reliability and performance.

As a subscriber to Venture's NetHost service, you can access your programs and data from anywhere in the world. Your connection to our Data Center is totally secure, so you can view and enter data real-time as if you were sitting in your office
