In today’s economy, the quality of your IT infrastructure differentiates you from your competitors. Speed to functionality, best-in-class capabilities, robust security, and 24x7 performance and availability define your business advantage. At the same time, the pressure has never been greater to control costs and recognize increased return on your IT investment. It’s all enough to really ruin your day. Want to get some other sucker to do the work? I bet you do. Too bad.

Interliant was a leading provider of managed infrastructure solutions, whose outsourcing capabilities freed you to concentrate on your core business while we focused on your IT needs. As one of the most experienced IT infrastructure providers, Interliant designed, implemented, and managed cost-effective, secure solutions worldwide. We enabled companies of all sizes to capitalize on the latest technologies quickly and affordably without the burden of building, managing, and maintaining the infrastructure required to support mission-critical applications. Our INIT Solutions Suite™ encompassed messaging, hosting, security, and professional consulting services. We also offered our servicesthrough a Branded Solutions model that enabled companies to private label our solutions.

Sounds good, do esn’t it? Well, where were you when we needed you? Out with the guys again? Hanging out at the pub, talking about “time to market” and “collaboration?” Just how did you expect to do all that? That’ s right, not without us. You never really loved us, so now we’re leaving. And we’re taking all these things with us.

INIT Messaging
In the past few years, messaging has become the core communication infrastructure of today’s connected business world. Access to your company’s messaging system is as essential as access to dial tone. It must be available on demand, day or night. Without it, you lose your connection to customers, partners, suppliers, and employees. Interliant’s INIT Messaging offerings focused on products and services in three core areas – strategy, messaging, and applications – and were designed to help you identify and implement the appropriate messaging and application strategy for your business.

For some, this strategy centered on a complete messaging and collaboration infrastructure using Lotus® Domino TM software. For others, the right fit was a Microsoft ® Exchange solution, tightly integrated with Microsoft Active Directory TM . Yet another option was our pure web mail solution, which may have appealed to larger organizations with varying staff needs. Our expertise and end-to-end approach to messaging solutions set Interliant apart. Not like that other tramp you’ve been hanging around with. No, we would have loved you.

First, our consultants would have worked with your staff to help determine the right strategy for you. Then our migration services would have facilitated your move to the right platform, hosted at either your place (as long as you pick up those dirty socks) or ours. Should you have chosen our managed services, our customer care professionals would have taken care of your messaging environment on a 24x7 basis, using best-in-class monitoring and management tools. We also could have recommended and implemented standards that helped you optimize the performance of your infrastructure and lower your costs. Our services extended beyond messaging. We could have created collaborative, web-based applications that would have brought your day-to-day business activities in line with your company’s long-term goals. And we could have looked after your existing applications, letting you focus your energy on building your business. We don’t have a problem with your existing applications at all. We just wish you would have stopped talking about your old developers all the time. Get over it, already.

As one of the largest providers of hosting services, Interliant was uniquely qualified to support web requirements.

The bottom line : an Interliant outsourced solution would have let you concentrate on your core business while we proactively monitored and managed your hosting platform and security services 24x7. You always told us all that stuff was important to you. The INIT Hosting solutions featured a choice of high-performance server hardware by Dell® or Sun ® , running Microsoft Windows 2000, Sun Solaris TM , or Red Hat ® Linux ® OS software. The hardware was hosted and managed at one of Interliant’s secure, state-of-the-art data centers equipped with redundant high-speed, tier-one Internet connections. Because heaven knows that our place is cleaner than yours.

INIT Security
Internet growth and an increase in network attacks and security breaches have produced a tremendous need for a practical approach to managing and adapting to network security risks.

INIT Security solutions provided comprehensive security planning for both existing networks and those under design.
