ITility is a managed IT service designed for midmarket companies, offering security, storage, hosting and backup solutions, among other features.
IT company DynaSis announced a new software-as-a-service product for
small to medium-size businesses called ITility, which offers midmarket
companies a low fixed monthly cost for all of the essential IT
solutions needed to do business such as e-mail, network security and
data backup, while hosting essential applications and delivering them
on demand.
The company said ITility, which provides IT services over a secure
Internet connection, allows businesses to access their data from
anywhere at anytime without purchasing or maintaining servers,
firewalls or other IT infrastructure equipment. ITility includes help
desk services, on-site services, application hosting, Microsoft Office
2007, dedicated servers, managed anti-virus, anti-spam, managed
firewall, Microsoft exchange e-mail, automated backups and system
monitoring and mobility.
All of the IT equipment needed is hosted at the DynaSis data
center, a recently built facility in Atlanta with 24-hour server
monitoring, environmental monitoring, high speed Internet feeds,
re-generated power via a three grid substation, limited access with
biometric finder and retina scanners and around-the-clock surveillance.
The company says the benefits ITility brings to SMBs are reduction of
IT investment (with ITility, DynaSis says the only equipment SMBs need
is basic office PCs).
DynaSis Vice President Chas Arnold said ITility allows the SMB to get
out of the IT and data center business and focus on what they do best.
"Whether you are a five-person company, or a 100 person company, IT
infrastructure has a high cost of entry," he said. "With DynaSis
ITility, the SMB benefits from the infrastructure and data center
services the Fortune 500 have, for a low cost, no hassle solution that
works when and where they need it to. Data access is no longer
constricted by location, freeing employees to work anywhere and
anytime, giving them increased productivity."
DynaSys President David Moorman says the SMBs he see are spending huge
amounts of time and money trying to maintain technologies that do not
give them a competitive advantage. "The new concept in business is to
focus on technologies that offer businesses a competitive advantage
like Business Intelligence, CRM, ERP, etc., and get out of the IT
plumbing business," he said. "ITility was designed for just that."
