Blue Hill’s Offering Empowers Organizations with Scalable, Secure Mainframe Infrastructure, Tailored Disaster Recovery, and Flexible Remote Support Options

Blue Hill Data Services, a leading innovator in Private Cloud Hosting and Managed Services, proudly values its Mainframe as a Service (MFaaS) solutions, enhanced with Dedicated Disaster Recovery (DR) capabilities. These comprehensive, cloud-based offerings are designed to meet the increasing demands of businesses that rely on mission-critical mainframe operations, offering unparalleled security, scalability, and reliability. Clients can also opt for Remote Support, providing an additional layer of flexibility in how they manage and maintain their in-house IT environments.

As organizations face growing pressure to modernize legacy systems while maintaining operational stability, Blue Hill’s MFaaS offers a fully managed mainframe solution, allowing businesses to focus on innovation without the burdensome costs and complexities of traditional infrastructure management. This service is ideal for industries such as government, education, finance, and healthcare, where uptime and data integrity are paramount.

Mainframe as a Service (MFaaS) key features include:

• Customized Solutions: Pre-staged dedicated environments built to each Client’s specifications. Scalability as applications are moved off the Mainframe and resources are reduced.
• High Availability: Ensures 99.99% uptime, keeping mission-critical applications running smoothly with zero disruption.
• Cost Efficiency: Shifts mainframe hosting and management from a CapEx to an OpEx model, offering flexible pricing structures and predictable monthly costs.

Dedicated Disaster Recovery (DR) is integrated seamlessly with MFaaS to protect enterprises against unforeseen downtime, offering:

• Data Replication: Continuous replication of critical data ensures an up-to-date processing environment in the event of an outage.
• Dedicated Resources: DR environment is always available; no competition for resources when needed.
• Customizable Recovery Plans: Tailored DR plans designed around business-specific needs, ensuring quick recovery and minimal operational impact.
• 24/7 Monitoring and Support: A dedicated team of disaster recovery experts constantly monitors systems to mitigate risk and respond instantly in emergencies.

Flexible Remote Support for IT Management Recognizing that businesses have varying needs when it comes to managing their IT infrastructure, Blue Hill offers a Remote Support option alongside its MFaaS and Disaster Recovery services. This approach allows businesses to retain control over their IT infrastructure while benefiting from the technical expertise and resources provided by Blue Hill.

With the Remote Support option, businesses can benefit from:

• Managed IT Services: Expert oversight and management of existing IT environments, allowing companies to optimize their infrastructure without fully migrating to MFaaS.
• Proactive Monitoring & Maintenance: Ongoing monitoring of IT systems to identify and resolve potential issues before they lead to disruptions.
• Tailored Support Plans: Clients can select from a range of services based on their needs, from basic monitoring to full 24/7 remote administration.
• Cost-Saving Flexibility: Remote support reduces the need for large in-house IT teams, saving costs while ensuring that systems run efficiently.

“Blue Hill saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars by hosting us as is, and not forcing us to upgrade to the latest hardware and software versions…No other hosting provider would give us this flexibility…By using Blue Hill, we were able to save money and avoid additional costs that would have been incurred during the upgrade process…More importantly, we also saved a considerable amount of time and effort, and the risk of not knowing what we would find if we had to go through a lengthy upgrade process…Blue Hill’s solution allowed us to free up our resources to focus on projects that were critical to meeting our business priorities.”
