"Our home page questions may be considered provocative, and by some, even alarmist. "That may be, but put your business', or organization's, data in New Orleans at the time of Hurricane Katrina - and afterwards during the flooding - would it have survived? Or, how about having a business directly in the path of the many tornadoes that raked across Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio… where do you think your system network and data would have ended up? "Less dramatic, but just as important to a business owner or a large organization - would your data survive a fire? "When you become a Globaltap client, we guarantee your enterprise's data will be safe and readily available no matter what the disaster; and, wherever you just happen to be located after the disaster. "The Globaltap Advantage, though, is much more faceted in what it offers its clientele than just data storage, recovery and disaster-proofing. What we are proud to offer commercial and non-commercial enterprises is opportunity. Globaltap offers the best Internet server hosting services available anywhere, and if correctly configured, that means 'opportunity'. "The Globaltap Advantage brings to businesses and organizations a data network, server and storage system that makes sound business sense. We offer four types of hosting plans that go a long way in keeping your business' networking, e-commerce, and data storage costs down. The Globaltap Advantage plan types are: "Our Virtual Hosting plans, which are perfect for light-to-medium demand and are sufficient for a static web site, a discussion board, a blog, for e-mail only, or a small web store. A special note to eBay and Amazon Store Owners - Globaltap is the perfect service to either back up, or supplement your existing stores' inventory. You can link directly from items being sold on eBay, or Amazon, right into your personal Globaltap web site store. And, the reverse is true; back and forth linking can provide extra opportunities, especially when added photos, or descriptive material, is needed for your merchandise and is either limited by eBay's or Amazon's default rules or procedures. "Another - and perhaps preferable - option for the e-commerce entrepreneur is to establish a sole entity store operation that is independent of eBay or Amazon-type web outlets. With a primary Globaltap Advantage Virtual Hosting Plan store presence, the entrepreneur no longer has to contend with add-on listing fees and merchandise sales commissions. "Our next Globaltap Advantage plan is Virtual Plus - or as it is sometimes known as - Virtual Server; where an actual physical server is available for use to less than 20 network users. With this plan, full administrative privileges are offered, as is the client's option of installing their own software. This plan is an excellent choice for - architectural design firms, graphic designers, higher-volume, mid-sized web stores, and perfect for the larger enterprise eBay and Amazon seller. "For organizations with 20 or more users, the Globaltap Advantage Dedicated Server Plan is our recommendation for your enterprise. Globaltap provides the hardware, the initial operating system installation, and Internet connection. The customer is free to use the server as they see fit because he or she has unlimited administrative privileges. This plan is similar in its concept and advantages as leasing a car, but with the fast pace of computer hardware obsolescence makes more business sense than a car lease. "The last option (but we're always developing more services) is the Globaltap Advantage Co-location Server Plan - where the client owns the server hardware, and installs their own software as they see fit. Globaltap provides rack space in our extremely secure data center, provides power - along with UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) - in addition to providing copious data transmission bandwidth. "Right about now, if you're anything like the astute business people we know, you may be thinking, 'What if I installed my own servers in my own data center? Wouldn't that be cheaper for me?' Of course, you are free to do just that, but such a decision very likely will drain your enterprise's operating budget. "In addition to the money outlay for hardware and hardware-software-cabling installation, providing a secure server environment that's properly air-conditioned and humidity-regulated, in order for you to come anywhere near the Globaltap Advantage capability to serve and store data, your company, or organization, is also going to have to provide adequate technical support in order to assure that your data center is up and running twenty-four hours daily, year around. Believe us when we say that it is going to cost your enterprise a fortune to duplicate what the Globaltap Advantage offers. Please read our FAQ page for a more detailed breakdown on the costs of setting up your own data center. You may be in for a shock. "As a business owner - or as an organization's key decision maker - Globaltap is offering you an excellent opportunity to cut back on your networking server and data storage expenses, and in turn, you will be free to invest those savings into the parts of your enterprise that earns profits or serves the function it was designed for. That's the Globaltap Advantage, and the Globaltap Advantage makes smart business sense!
