[July 31, 2009] Apps4Rent Implements Server Administration Plans In Hyper-V Virtual Dedicated Server Hosting Tweet Jul 31, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Apps4Rent, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider of Hyper-V virtual dedicated server hosting, hosted Exchange, hosted SharePoint, and BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) hosting, announced the launch of its server administration plans, which can be added to Apps4Rent's basic Hyper-V virtual dedicated server hosting packages. Apps4Rent said its IT clients who use hosted Kaseya, a managed service provider (MSP) software for desktop and server management, can also add Apps4Rent's server administration plans to their packages. There is no setup fee for Apps4Rent's dedicated SharePoint server, hosted SharePoint, hosted exchange, BES hosting, Hyper-V virtual dedicated server hosting, and server administration plans "Many of our Hyper-V hosting customers lack the internal resources to manage dedicated servers on a 24/7 basis," said Wade Dube, Manager for Apps4Rent. "Such customers can depend on our experienced server administrators on Windows or Linux/Unix platforms who monitor, maintain, and manage the dedicated servers for full reliability." Tasks included in the server administration plans include 24/7/365 monitoring and helpdesk, server reboots, patch management, installation, configuration, and maintenance of mail or collaboration platforms (Exchange, Sendmail, Qmail, IMAP, POP3 ,Postfix, Imail, hosted SharePoint), Web servers (IIS, Apache, SAMBA, Squid, Tomcat), database servers (Microsoft SQL server, MySQL and PostgreSQL), DNS servers, and firewalls. In addition, clients can request assistance or have Apps4Rent's experts work on custom projects and server administration tasks; certain hours are included in the server administration plans, incremental hours can be purchased at a reasonable hourly rate.
