Overview
Web-based, Windows-based, anything-based, side-by-side. Whatever software your company runs, External IT, and our OS33 Portal, gets along with it perfectly. Even all your custom applications, which are not always compatible with other hosting platforms.
We give you the level of flexibility a company needs to embrace cloud computing. In fact, it’s the only level of flexibility that makes sense when migrating to the cloud.
Anything your company can do right now with the computers and servers in your office, you can do with External IT. In fact, most companies not only do the same work, but accomplish even more once their apps are managed through the OS33 Portal.
(Important Note: Enhanced capabilities do not automatically come from switching to just any desktop hosting IT provider. This is particularly true if you elect to partner with a company whose business is primarily built around leasing empty server space. Write this on a yellow sticky pad, then attach it to your monitor, it’s that important: Cloud computing can be a real plus, but only when properly done.)
Applications that follow you
External IT is the industry leader in hosted private clouds for small to midsize companies that work with a unifying IT platform. What does a unifying platform mean?
Everyone in your company can work wherever they are. All they need is the Internet and a computer. Regardless of how geographically diverse your staff may be they can work as a tight, collaborative group under one virtual roof. All their applications, data, email, IT goes where they go. When we say "all applications" we mean custom and industry-specific apps, Windows and Web.
It is an unsurpassed global workspace.
Yes, we host applications of all shapes and sizes
External IT can host and manage all of your applications. Notice that there isn’t an asterisk at the end of this last sentence. You also won’t find, buried elsewhere on our website, an index of legal disclaimers contradicting our promises.
Windows, SaaS, private install web-based applications, whatever you have, whatever you need, we can take care of in one, holistic, integrated solution. And our engineers are ready to jump in anytime you need a hand. Our pool of technical talent is easily as deep as the foremost in the industry.
Superior Windows-based application hosting with Citrix and OS33
External IT uses Citrix application hosting technology. It’s the industry’s gold standard for cloud enabled, on-demand, virtualized application delivery. As you know, we also have OS33. What makes the magic happen is Citrix working in tandem with OS33. OS33 was specifically designed to integrate perfectly with Citrix. In this way we deliver superior application performance.
A Web/Win hybrid solution that beats hosted desktop
Our pool of technical
talent is as
deep as the
industry's
foremost.
With External IT, and OS33, your staff can run both Windows-based and web-based application alongside each other. You’ll find that Portal Desktop technology is superior to the traditional Hosted Desktop, which was designed for Win-based apps running locally.
Client-specific application support
One advantage of serving so many companies, in such a wide range of fields, is that our Application Engineers are acquainted with so many different types of business-specific software. In fact, our engineers are recognized experts at making sure applications work properly in a hosted environment, and have been doing just that since 2002.
At External IT, we handle all aspects of software deployment and maintenance, freeing your IT staff for other important work. Or, we can help you in a backup role. Whatever level of support you need we can deliver it.
Application availability
Availability and Security are so important that we give them their own stage elsewhere on our website. We’ll simply take this opportunity to point out that disaster recovery and high availability are built into our architecture, and one of the features that makes External IT one of the industry leaders.
Also worth noting, you can choose disaster recovery and high availability options for some or all of your applications.
Software licensing
Licensing is one of those long-suffered IT headaches that we make go away. As applications are setup and provisioned to your users, OS33 keeps track of what licenses are required for compliance. On a monthly basis, reports are generated that perform this tally, adjusting for licenses you already own. If new licenses are required, External IT can instantly add them, depending on your purchase preference. It’s that easy.
