Maginus takes the pain out of ecommerce management

This article is brought to you by Retail Technology Review: Maginus takes the pain out of ecommerce management.

Maginus, a leading provider of software and services for retail and distribution, has launched Retail-Hosting, a new managed hosting service designed specifically for retailers.

Retail-Hosting helps retailers to manage irregular sales patterns more efficiently, reliably and cost-effectively, rather than using their own systems in house. The technology allows retailers to configure a hosting service for a typical workload, such as an average number of e-commerce transactions through their website. However, if business suddenly increases, over Christmas, Easter or special occasions, the service will flex automatically to cope, which means clients only pay for the resources they actually use.

Retail-Hosting offers standard hosting packages for typical retail requirements. These range from the hosting of corporate websites and low-volume e-commerce sites, to online stores that process very high transaction volumes.

Custom hosting packages tailored to a retailers specific requirements are also available. These can include hosting for ERP, email and office application which use servers at Retail-Hostings data centre. It can also provide colocation hosting services, where a retailers servers are moved to the data centre and managed by Retail-Hosting. Alternatively it can provide hardware-provided services, where Retail-Hosting provides server hardware to a customer on a lease or sale basis or supporting services, such as secure remote backup.

Slow server response or downtime on an e-commerce website can result in a lost sale. Failure in a back office system thats being used to fulfil a customer order, can result in a customer being lost for good, said Simon Dunleavy, Director of Managed Services at Retail-Hosting. Weve designed Retail-Hosting to give retailers an affordable, reliable and flexible way to have this key part of their business taken care of.
