Software-as-a-Service





SaaS success starts with the right infrastructure

Defining the right strategy and designing the right infrastructure for your SaaS business can be a difficult task.

 

It doesn’t matter how good your software application is if your customers can’t access it quickly and reliably. That’s why our cloud hosting solutions reside on our lightning fast global network with 99.999% core uptime.


We only use industry leading servers including Dell, HP, and IBM, powered by the latest versions of Intel’s Xeon processors.


The global economy demands global access. With the rapid rise of new markets, you need a hosting provider that can help you reach your customers where they are. Our global cloud hosting solutions connect you with the world, while providing you the local knowledge and support.


Every minute of application downtime means lost revenue, and a decrease in customer satisfaction. That’s why we have expert support engineers with a deep understanding of the technical and business hosting needs, and a range of comprehensive SLAs to guarantee that your business is always up and running.


With a comprehensive product portfolio ranging from VPS and dedicated servers, to fully customised private cloud solutions, we offer you the flexibility to quickly scale your infrastructure to meet the changing demands of your business. This lets you easily grow to meet customer demands, while keeping down costs and increasing your bottom line.


Our global cloud hosting solutions remove the weight of capital expenditures, reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and ensuring that you always have the latest technology.


VpsCity’s portfolio of web based applications are designed to compliment your organisation's infrastructure requirements with a level of flexibility and device freedom you are unlikely to achieve internally.


Cloud Storage

Our Cloud Storage allows you to access your files from anywhere, at any time with any device. It seamlessly synchronises across multiple devices, enabling you to share and collaborate documents with colleagues across your organisation. 


Our easy to use service improves productivity and efficiency by allowing a user to see who has edited a file, restore old versions and even retrieve previously deleted files. With our 256-bit encryption technology you are guaranteed that your data is kept secure. With granular access controls, users can easily share folders across teams or individuals both inside and outside the organisation.


Cloud Email

Our Cloud Email is a feature rich email service based on MS Exchange, Linux Exchange and Zimbra Collaboration Server, hosted on VpsCity’s cloud platform. It provides all of the features traditionally found in an enterprise class email, calendar and collaboration system. 


Designed to seamlessly support office and mobile workers as you can use your preferred browser, your tablet, smartphone or Microsoft Outlook. Cloud Email keeps users connected using their choice of devices with synchronisation of email, calendar, address book and tasks. It also supports organisations who embrace a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy through cloud computing.


Cloud PBX

Our Cloud PBX gives you access to PBX capabilities without investment on complicated and expensive equipment. Cloud PBX is a kind of hosted PBX or virtual PBX, meaning that all of the routing services are performed by us, rather than by an employee managing a PBX system in your office. An IP PBX uses Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and can also be known as a VoIP PBX, IP-PBX, virtual PBX or IPBX.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a turnkey solution that features a subscription model whereby you pay a monthly or annual fee to use a vendor’s software. There is no hardware with this solution. SaaS can either be hosted or multi-tenant.


Hosted consists of physical servers and software obtained from a vendor such as VpsCity. Our engineers will install and maintain the software on off-premises servers. Multi-tenant consists of only one copy of the software with one database supporting multiple organisations on a single bank of servers.


Virus and Spam Filtering

VpsCity provides a secure, hosted email filtering service that you can have up and running in minutes. There’s no hardware or software to install – just sign up, change your MX record, and you’re protected! Mitigate threats to your hardware and productivity with redundant, distributed and reliable Inbound/Outbound filtering and additional email protection. 


Your incoming mail is directed to our internal network of spam fighting data centres. We scan your email for spam, phishing attacks, malware and viruses. All offending mail is held in secure quarantine in our network. Clean mail is automatically forwarded to your server for delivery.

Our hosted service protects your email against:

  • Spam
  • Malware
  • Spoofed Undeliverable Notices
  • Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks
  • Computer Viruses
  • Phishing Emails


Content Filtering

Content filtering (also known as information filtering) is the use of a program to screen and exclude from access or availability web pages that is deemed objectionable. Our content filtering service blocks inappropriate, unproductive and even illegal and malicious web content inside and outside the firewall perimeter, and thus reduces the risk of infection by viruses, Trojans, adware and other malware. Content filtering service is widely used by corporations as this service can help to improve security posture and ensure that the Internet is used responsibly by all users.
