A Hosted Solution is a technology service that enables enterprises to outsource the management and maintenance of their IT infrastructure and applications. The Hosted Solution provider is responsible for housing, running and maintaining the customer’s IT environment in its data center. Customers can access and use their applications and data from anywhere, anytime, via the Internet. In other words, a hosted solution is when you rent a virtual server from a business that handles all of the upkeep and operation of your server (sometimes also referred to as Cloud hosting).
Hosted virtual servers are located at a SDMS’s data center and you connect to them remotely over the Internet. This offers users an application experience similar to traditional desktop applications but with many advantages. There’s no need to worry about hardware or software compatibility issues since everything runs off one central server – including security updates!
