Click here for a brief introduction to Google Apps.

Email and collaboration is a cornerstone of business communication today. What if your email and collaboration tool was a utility, like electricity, it's always on, easily accessible, fully maintained and you only had to pay for what you needed? Google Apps is a commercial-grade email and collaboration platform that is radically changing the way businesses look at email. There is no hardware or software to install, users can access, share, and edit documents in real time from anywhere online.

Network and VoIP

It all starts here. Wide-area network (WAN) connectivity is the critical link for your business to the outside world. What's more, most small-to medium organizations spend more money annually on telco services than any other operationally related business expense. Agosto can monitor your mission-critical connectivity services, troubleshoot problems and automatically escalate issues to ensure minimum downtime and eliminate unnecessary telco costs.

Our on-demand services in this area include:

Monitoring and notifications support
Trending and utilization monitoring
Billing maintenance, escalation, and troubleshooting
Ordering and provisioning support

VoIP reduces costs and improves efficiency by integrating your business communications, and it is quickly approaching mainstream technology status. As Voice-over-IP (VoIP) adoption has increased among small to mid-sized businesses, competing products and vendors have proliferated. Agosto provides a range of cost-effective, market-leading VoIP technology options to fit your needs.

Our VoIP offering include:

VOIP consultation and installation services
Fully managed or premise services based on Cisco's Call Manager platform
Advanced services: call recording, tracking, contact center applications, etc.

Server Virtualization

As organizations grow IT generally needs additional computing capacity - often in the form of new servers with disparate operating environments. The resulting server sprawl is costly in terms of capital, support costs and the drain on resources (power and physical space). Server virtualization and consolidation provides a powerful, flexible and affordable solution for these challenges. Virtual infrastructure enables unprecedented levels of workload isolation, granular resource control for all of the system's computing and I/O resources. Virtual Infrastructure integrates well with existing system management software and improves return on investment in shared storage

Advantages of virtualization and consolidation

Lower hardware acquisition and maintenance costs
Consolidation of idle system resources
Lower carbon footprint and energy expenses
Increased operational efficiency
Cost-effective and consistent production environments
