Nowadays, all businesses, regardless of size, require an ever-increasing amount of technology to stay securely connected to their applications, employees, vendors, and customers. While the benefits of staying ultra-connected and reliant on technology can greatly improve the efficiency of business, the complexities involved in properly setting up and maintaining that technology can be intimidating and costly.
Many small – to medium-sized businesses face difficulties when availing themselves of advanced technology offerings, as they do not have the internal expertise to design, setup, or manage their technological requirements. The most common concerns with internally supported data centers are:
- Where will the data center be located?
- What’s the appropriate space needed for a data center?
- What will be the total cost to build/maintain a data center?
- How will the center be kept physically secure?
- How will the center be kept cool?
- What system will be used for non-electronic-damaging fire protection?
- How will the systems be redundantly connected to the Internet?
- What will provide redundant power?
- How will all the servers and devices be monitored?
- Who will perform emergency maintenance to the systems when needed 24/7/365?
- How will the data be backed up off-site?
To address these challenges, WaTech offers Alpha Host. WaTech integrates Alpha Host with other Alpha services to create a seamless mesh among product offerings. With Alpha Host, customers gain the peace of mind that their servers and data are in a secure, highly available, well-maintained data center with 24/7/365 resources onsite to address issues that may arise,

BUILD NEW OR MIGRATE
Building or migrating your servers and data to an Alpha Host solution makes the business a part of “the cloud.” We eliminate all the concerns with in-house data centers, yet you retain all the benefits of maintaining control over your technology environment.
FLAT RATE BILLING
Alpha Host is based on flat rate-billing. Other cloud solutions charge separately for each type of resource used, so costs continually vary and become difficult to project. WaTech’s Alpha Host allows you to control and predict your costs based on your needs now and later.
KEEP CONTROL
Alpha Host keeps you in control of the paths to access your data, instead of forcing you into predefined connectivity options. You can choose to relocate your existing hardware, purchase your own, or fully lease the hardware resources you need to run your business from the cloud.
NETWORK DIVERSITY
Alpha Host allows secure, carrier neutral connections that span across hundreds of networks and clouds, providing you with high performance managed bandwidth you can rely on. Find the perfect blend of upstream connectivity.
MANAGED SERVICES
By opting for Alpha Host, you also gain access to experts in the field who are well-equipped to provide services such as remote hands, monitoring, and maintenance. Expand your IT capabilities with the additional resources you need to get the job done.
SECURITY & COMPLIANCE
Our data centers implement multiple layers of security around their physical locations to protect the hardware, including in-house security officers, perimeter fencing, mantrap entries, IP-DVR cameras, biometrics and keycard scanners.
