Internet Solutions expect more demand for local hosting
“Over the past years we have seen a fairly steady rise in demand for fully managed hosted services,” says Sean Nourse, manager, Hosting Solutions at IS.
“But there was a bigger increase in 2005 of around 25%, much of it due to the advent of ADSL services at more affordable prices. In addition, customers are seeing a greater acceptance of on-line services in their customer base, especially for banking and financial services.”
It is clear that increased broadband penetration has a very positive effect on the IT industry as a whole.
It not only serves to reduce the cost of spending online, but it makes the general public more comfortable with the online environment and services offered through this medium.
“As services become more readily available on-line and with lower hardware prices, so the usage rises and demand increases. We need to be ready to accommodate these needs.” Nourse said.
