Managed Hosting Services for Microsoft Dynamics NAV
Why use AVF Consulting for your managed hosting services?
When it comes to hosting Microsoft Dynamics NAV, there is no one size fits all option. AVF Consulting has years of experience working with Microsoft Dynamics NAV and we know how to build and optimize the infrastructure to maximize the performance of each client’s ERP investment. And because we specialize in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, we won’t oversell you or recommend unnecessary services.
Our team of IT Experts will take the time to understand how your organization utilizes Microsoft Dynamics NAV to manage business processes. We determine the best solution for your organization based on your needs today and your future plans for growth. Weighing such factors as the number of concurrent users, transaction volumes, the size and complexity of the database, whether you have hosted the solution before, uptime requirements, and the level of internal IT control you desire, we recommend the best environment for your needs and budget.
Managed Hosting vs. Colocation
AVF offers two levels of managed hosting; Fully Managed and Colocation. With AVF Consulting’s Fully Managed Hosting option, our team of IT experts will assume the burden of managing and maintaining the servers at the Data Center. This solution is ideal for organizations who have limited knowledge of hosting and complex solutions to maintain.
Colocation allows customers to rent rack space on servers at our contracted data center and run Microsoft Dynamics NAV from those locations. This requires that the client purchase or provide servers and all of the equipment necessary for the solution. This also gives you the flexibility of having our team of experts or your internal IT resources manage the servers.
Benefits of a Hosted Environment
- Minimized Initial Investment. Under the managed hosted services model, AVF Consulting assumes the task of implementing, maintaining, and keeping your Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution current. What’s more, with managed hosting your organization can avoid the upfront hardware costs that are typically associated with ERP purchases by allowing you to pay a monthly fee for the use of hardware at the data center.
- Seamless Upgrades. With a fully managed solution, the hosting provider continuously and unobtrusively applies critical updates, hotfixes, and patches assuring your infrastructure is
up-to-date. - Reduced Dependence on Internal IT Resources. Whether your organization selects to be fully managed or chooses collocation, you will benefit from requiring fewer technical resources to manage the Microsoft Dynamics NAV environment.
Make Changes on Demand. With a hosted solution, adding and removing users from Microsoft Dynamics NAV can be done quickly and easily. The number of users will be reflected in the monthly subscription fee, providing your organization the flexibility it needs as it grows or transitions. - Reliable Hardware Infrastructure. AVF Consulting utilizes SAS 70 Type II certified data centers that comply with standards developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The state of the art facilities feature redundant power supplies, a robust design for temperature and humidity controls, fire and lightning suppression, multiple UPS auto-failover systems, and on-site diesel generators.
