NetSource offers managed hosting packages and hosting services for Chicago businesses who don’t want to maintain their own IT staff. NetSource can work independently or become part of your technical team. NetSource can help manage environments including colocation, dedicated servers, and cloud servers / virtualization. NetSource can provide items like security services (firewalls), OS patching, backups, consulting and much more. NetSource will customize a management package based on a company’s very specific needs and budget which makes NetSource’s managed hosting services very unique in today’s cookie-cutter hosting world.

NetSource owns and operates our very own SSAE16 Type II, SOC1, SOC2 datacenter located in the western suburbs of Chicago (Naperville, IL). This means that NetSource can create very custom management packages for our clients. Since NetSource owns and manages the facility we have full control over very specific requests that our customers may have.

NetSource starts off all our conversations with managed hosting customers with an overview of their needs. We create a requirements document outlining the project’s goals. This may include covering items like management goals, budget, downtime/up-time requirements, and much more. Once we fully understand the needs of our customers we can help consult them on the perfect solution for their business. While NetSource can sometimes take a very active roll in the planning phase, we can also listen directly to our clients and implement very strict requirements presented by them.

NetSource is in a unique position because not only can we provide the consulting and management of our clients hosting environment, we can provide the hardware (IaaS). NetSource offers a complete line of services including colocation, dedicated hosting, cloud hosting (both private and public), and custom hosting solutions. When a client selects NetSource for their server or hardware management they will never get finger pointing between the management company and the datacenter. NetSource has 100% control over both tasks which equate to quicker resolutions and better support.

NetSource offers a complete range of management services that we provide to Chicago area businesses. NetSource offers managed firewall security services, server monitoring, server logging and file change logging, data backups, virus protection, server patching, load balancing, hardware upkeep, PCI scans, HIPAA setups and much more. NetSource can literally replace a large IT staff at a company who wants to move their IT services off-site and into the cloud at the datacenter. NetSource can create custom plans where you pay us for X hours of work each month. Not only can this save a business quite a bit of money, it can also save them time and worry about having 24/7/365 monitoring in place.
