There are many terms thrown around in the technology industry that can cause some confusion. You may have heard some, cloud computing, working from the cloud, hosted solutions, IT services.

LogicalSolutions.net is the premiere Hosted IT Services Provider servicing the Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse and Albany regions.

As a Hosted IT Services provider, we provide a wide range of services from server colocation to private virtual clouds.  The primary difference between your traditional IT provider to a Hosted IT provider is the way your IT infrastructure is setup and where it lives. A traditional IT company will setup and manage your network onsite at your location. A Hosted IT provider will setup the majority of the network infrastructure in the cloud, or an offsite data center. There are many advantages for using an offsite facility. Most importantly are the reliability and the cost savings. You can dramatically reduce your costs for energy, licenses and hardware expenses. You can also free up your IT staff to stay focused on mission critical projects instead of updates and patches that can end up eating much of their time.
