Services

CIT Hosting Service provides hosting options that can help you:

• Focus your limited time and resources on application development instead of infrastructure.
• Promote a consistent, standardized environment across applications.
• Use the dev/test/prod environments, available for most services.
• Negotiate clear expectations about service levels.
• Take advantage of existing infrastructure which is reliable, robust and scalable.
• Participate in collaborative user groups/forums that provide avenues for idea exchange and feedback.
• Monitor hardware 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
  
• Backups files automatically.
  

When using a shared environment, there is a degree of standardization, such as the set of tools and software deployed by CIT. This means there is not as much room for flexibility in low-level or granular control as is found in a non-shared environment. Shared environments also make it necessary to follow a central upgrade schedule and participate in testing. Please be aware that although we make every effort to ensure that hosted environments are insulated as much as possible, there is a potential for other applications to affect yours.
