NaviSite Quarterly

June 2009

Best IT moves to spur IT cost savings

Innovation in an Evolving IT Landscape

Rathin SinhaWelcome to the June 2009 issue of the NaviSite Quarterly!

The IT landscape is evolving rapidly, and so are the business expectations from IT. High performance, reliability and scalability are the keystones of success in a hyper-competitive world where the forces of globalization have created challenges and opportunities alike. Rapid implementation, zero maintenance and faster ‘time to market’ are imperatives to impress and acquire customers. And, achieving these imperatives has become a challenge in the midst of an economic downturn, when it is critical to reduce the operating expenses of the IT infrastructure and eliminate the need for capital investments.

As a trusted partner, NaviSite has been delivering sustainable cost savings in tandem with superior performance, agility, and flexibility through its simplified, innovative IT solutions. Our highly customizable and broad services portfolio helps customer to effectively bridge the gap between their unique business needs and technology environment and spend their IT budget where it creates maximum impact. Each offering within our portfolio is a combination of value, performance and service, and reflects our commitment to innovate and reinvent to drive enterprise effectiveness in the evolving landscape.

Our managed messaging solutions are one such testament to our commitment to innovation while delivering value. NaviSite was among the first to offer hosted email solutions in the industry. We had pioneered multi-tenant Lotus Notes hosting as far back as in 1994, and offered Microsoft Hosted Exchange in 1999. In this issue of the NaviSite Quarterly, we cover how businesses can leverage our hosted messaging applications portfolio to increase productivity with a highly-available, secure, and always current email environment, while also significantly reducing total cost of ownership.

Another value-based innovation is our newly introduced Cloud offering. Cloud Computing appears to be at the peak of its ‘hype cycle’ but there is universal acknowledgement that it is transformative in nature. Whether it is a form of utility computing offering applications or infrastructure as a service over the Internet, or a virtual data center residing outside or within the enterprise firewall – cloud computing has the potential to change the way computing is done in the future. For many years, NaviSite has been working in a framework strikingly similar to today’s Cloud Computing, delivering, enterprise hosting, SaaS services, and virtualization. In this issue, we share how AppStructure - our cloud computing platform is adding scalability and new capabilities like web 2.0 collaboration to our customers’ IT environment.

You will also read about NaviSite’s technology breakthroughs focused on saving IT costs for customers – such as our new CDN portfolio that ensure fast content delivery across the globe at lower cost, end-to-end SAP infrastructure management, reliable enterprise-class data center solutions, and much more.

We hope you find this issue useful in learning about some key technology trends that can drive IT effectiveness!

Enjoy this issue!
