Call 020 7099 2879 to discuss your individual requirements
We do it all for you. You don‘t need to have any knowledge of Servers, or of FileMaker Server itself. Simply send us your FileMaker file(s) and we‘ll do the rest. We are also happy to talk you through the process on the phone.
We have over 15 years experience specifying, setting up and managing FileMaker servers and are available to discuss your individual FileMaker use case. This enables us to recommend the most cost effective server plan for your unique requirements. We don’t charge for this advice as we believe that talking to our customers and helping them to make an informed choice as to the best cloud server configuration is the best way to build long term relationships. We are also available to give advice on optimising your FileMaker database for hosting in the cloud. If you have any issues contact us by phone or email and a real person will respond.
Latency is the delay in requests from your client copy of FileMaker in getting to and from the FileMaker server. If the majority of connections to your system from FileMaker Pro client software are from within the UK you can minimise this delay by using one of our servers. We can also deploy servers worldwide to ensure the best performance for the majority of users.
FileMaker also benefits from a good speed of connection. If you have Flash and have tried the Speed Test on our home page you will have been testing the connection bandwidth between your location and one of our actual FileMaker servers. You will also have been able to compare this bandwidth with Speed Test‘s recommended servers. They choose one as near to you as possible but where ever you are in the UK, you should have seen bandwidth near that achieved by their choice. The facility also generally runs at less than 50% of maximum capacity even during peak periods. At 9:30 am today (a peak time for logins) it is running at 19.1% of capacity. Of course it is also important that the actual server you are using is not overstretched. Our policy is to keep our servers running at less than 50% processor capacity. They only rarely go above this. We do this not only to ensure good service to our hosting customers, but also because we use the servers for our, and our development client‘s database files. If things start to run slow you can be certain we will take rapid action. The graphs below show real data and that even our most loaded server is far from being stretched!
