Two guys, one big idea

Challenging times compel businesses to do more with less.  The consumer is our boss, quality is our work and value for money is our goal.

Host-it is a software as a service (SaaS) company established in 2004.  Our mission is to deliver the benefits of cloud-based computing to our clients allowing them to sharpen their focus on their core business activities.  Cloud computing makes it possible for companies to cut costs and access best-of-breed software without any upfront costs.  Host-it has the expertise and capacity to assist business people who share their vision to achieve this objective.  The shape of the future is cloud.

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” Arthur C. Clarke

It started with online backup………

Fed up with the hassles and the inefficiencies of tape-based backups our customers started demanding a ‘hands free’ verifiable backup solution.  In response, we launched BackupVault online backup, which performs automatic backups and reporting.  Just as email revolutionised written communications, automated online backup is revolutionising tape-based backup by delivering unprecedented efficiencies in data protection and accessibility.

Backup and Beyond……
