The new IT Services include:

All Covered Cloud provides customers of all sizes with affordable and scalable cloud solutions ideal for cloud servers, backup and disaster recovery and business continuity. Businesses have access to the latest technology without the upfront costs of investing in onsite servers.

All Covered Backup for Servers combines a local backup appliance with secure datacenter replication. Customers can rest assured that their files are backed up and accessible in the event of data, server or facility loss.

All Covered Security offers customers enhanced security with advanced levels of email protection with encryption and archiving as well as increased system protection through web content filtering.
