Application Hosting

The Northarbour Application Hosting solution provides clients with all of the capabilities of a FTSE 500 IT department in a single outsourced service:

  • Guaranteed application delivery
  • A professional help desk
  • Access from anywhere
  • Centralisation of multiple offices
  • Bulletproof security
  • Total redundancy
  • Disaster recovery, and much more

The foundation of our solution is eliminating the dependence on client-side equipment, software, and support personnel. In doing this, there are no servers to manage, no software to install, and no computers to maintain, upgrade, etc. Users simply require an Internet connection and a browser. The rest is delivered by Northarbour.

Application Hosting

Applications are launched via The Portal and accessed using a combination of technologies including Microsoft Terminal Services.  Applications are published in seamless windows and they appear exactly the way local applications do - your users will not notice a difference.  All applications are deployed and tested on multiple servers in order to provide full redundancy at the application level.  Different individuals can have access to completely different applications based on their needs, job functions, and preferences.

Types of Applications

Northarbour can host most Windows-compatible applications, including:

  • Microsoft Office
  • Visio
  • QuickBooks
  • Adobe
  • ACT!
  • Sage
  • Goldmine

In addition, Northarbour can host almost any industry specific or custom-built Windows-compatible application.  You can also request proprietary applications to be hosted by Northarbour.

Application performance is monitored regularly and our application servers are constantly monitored for health, speed, load, temperature, memory usage, etc.  Our goal is for applications to perform as good or better than if they were running on a local computer.
