Ekkum: Managed Service Provider
Ekkum, a managed service provider (MSP) provides delivery and management of network-based services, applications, and equipment to enterprises, residences, or other service providers. We are a hosting company that offers services that include fully outsourced network management arrangements, including advanced features like IP telephony (VoIP PBX phone systems), virtual private network (VPNs), managed firewalls, and monitoring/reporting of network servers. We perform most of these services from outside a company's internal network with a special emphasis placed on integration and certification of Internet security for applications and content. We serve as outsourcing agents for companies, especially other service providers like ISPs, that don't have the resources to constantly upgrade or maintain faster and faster computer networks.
Ekkum, as a managed service provider supplies businesses with information technology needs via the Internet. These needs are typically network monitoring, remote data backup, and network security, but can also include other more new age technology services such as Virtual Private Networks and Voice over Internet Protocol services. Your business can contract with us, a managed service provider to fill certain needs that are met more cost effectively by outsourcing than by purchasing and supporting equipment in-house. This sort of arrangement makes good economic sense for both small and large companies, especially since we specialize in technologies that all businesses might not have the resources to support.
For example, we specialize in remote offsite data backup and we do this all the time, all day long, for clients near and far. We have all the latest equipment and all the latest encryption techniques and protocols, as well as a vested interest in making sure that its services are top-notch. Because security is our focus, we have security on the front burner all the time. If you hire our managed services to produce remote data backups, you will have time for other concerns that struggle for notice in the company's daily business.
Outsourcing other parts of a company's business makes economic and technological sense as well, especially if it's something like Voice Over Internet Protocol VoIP, which is continually updated with newer and more powerful functionality. Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) also necessarily have security protocols that are nearly always rotating or changing to provide protection against hackers. Ekkum's clients find it easier to take advantage of a VPN provided by a us; in this way, they spend only money, not time and money.
In addition to such basic communication service as leased line wide area network (WAN) and frame relay service, Ekkum can manage and integrate a range of activities associated with enterprise networks. The range of outsourcing services includes basic transport and access, managed premises, managed shared web hosting, managed dedicated web hotsing, managed email and anti-spam solutions, managed remote offsite back-up, managed colocation services, VPN, unified messaging, video networking, or other more sophisticated services. |
