Managed hosting 'best business continuity support'

Managed hosting is the most effective business continuity solution, it has been claimed.

According to a ZDNet blog, cloud computing covers every aspect of business continuity and allows firms to access extra resources when they need them.

Networks, systems and data can be hosted offsite, while telephony systems can also be protected in this way.

"For a truly resilient business continuity solution that is flexible with your business needs, managed hosting is the answer," the technology resource noted.

Microsoft Hosted Sharepoint could help organisations with their business continuity needs. Documents can be stored in an online secure portal, rather than on a physical server and hard drive.

By storing business critical data offsite through Microsoft Hosted Sharepoint, business continuity may also be improved.

It was recently announced by Microsoft that its Sharepoint 2010 has now reached the technical preview engineering marker, where feedback from IT professionals and customers is required.
