    CSI Now Offers Central Database Hosting Services [Apr 01, 2009]

    CSI SQL database hosting service offers an effective way to run your dry-cleaning business better than ever before. We protect your valuable data from natural disasters, fire, and theft. In addition, CSI hosting gives you peace of mind from the complexities of managing and maintaining your computers and data. You focus should be on running your dry-cleaning  business and not managing your computer system.  As a Microsoft SQL Database Expert, CSI understands your SQL database better than anyone else and knows server hosting requirements. Our experienced Microsoft developers design scalable hosting solutions that grow with your SQL database ensuring maximum performance and availability. We maintain, and backup your database using the latest technology. We use Microsoft SQL 2008 on Windows 2008 Server.

    Having data stored and managed in a central location offers several advantages:
    • Each data item is stored in a central location where all users can work with it.

      Separate copies of the item are not stored on each client, which eliminates problems with users having to ensure they are all working with the same information. Their system does not need to ensure that all copies of the data are updated with the current values, because there is only one copy in the central location.

    • Business and security rules can be defined one time on the server and enforced equally among all users.
    • A relational database server optimizes network traffic by returning only the data an application needs.
    • Hardware costs can be minimized.

      Because the data is not stored on each client, clients do not have to dedicate disk space to storing data. The clients also do not need the processing capacity to manage data locally, and the server does not need to dedicate processing power to displaying data.

       

    • Maintenance tasks such as backing up and restoring data are simplified because they can focus on the central server.
    • secure hosting facility and Network Operations Center using the latest, most advanced construction techniques.
    • No more replications for new items or corporate customers.
    • Central Payment and Statement processing.
