FAQs
Why would I want to move my servers into a data centre?
Data centres have multiple redundant power, air cooling and internet access backup systems to maximise your system's availability. Bandwidth in and out of data centres usually runs faster and more reliably than in and out of your head-office, allowing more cost effective network solutions to be developed to support your business needs. Other advantages include centralised backup management, centralised maintenance, disaster recovery, and more.
Is data centre hosting the right solution for everyone?
Definitely not. First Focus offers both data centre solutions and traditional self-hosted solutions to our customers, so we have the experience to recommend the right solution for your business.
What kind of companies benefit most from hosted solutions?
In general, we've found that organisations that operate out of multiple offices, or have a highly mobile workforce gain the most from moving to a hosted solution. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, and the best course of action is to speak to an expert.
Does First Focus own the data centres?
No. Building a world class hosting facility is a huge engineering task, which only a handful of companies in Australia are capable of tackling. First Focus leases space in facilities built by two of the best data centre providers in the world. In this way, we offer our small to medium customers access to the best facilities available.
