Values of becoming a CIT Hosting Service partner
CIT Hosting Service provides hosting options that can help you:
- Focus your limited time and resources on application development instead of infrastructure.
- Promote a consistent, standardized environment across applications.
- Use the dev/test/prod environments available for most services.
- Negotiate clear expectations about service levels.
- Take advantage of existing infrastructure which is reliable, robust and scalable.
- Participate in collaborative user groups/forums that provide avenues for idea exchange and feedback.
- Monitor hardware 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
- Backups files automatically.
Trade-offs to using a shared environment
- Some loss of low level/granular control, such as the standard set of tools and software deployed by CIT.
- It is necessary to follow a central upgrade schedule and participate in testing.
- There is potential for other applications to affect yours, although we make every effort to minimize this possibility.
