MOSS™ Managed On Site Servers
Managed On Site Servers or MOSS™ - a new VMS subscription option
What is MOSS™?
MOSS™ (Managed On Site Servers) is a unique, maintenance, subscription service where VMS Co. delivers optimised video management and analytics servers to your site. These servers are owned, managed, maintained and warrantied by VMS Co.
MOSS™ is classed as a maintenance subscription and falls within the operational budget of a business. The servers are delivered as part of this maintenance service (like a router is delivered within a broadband service). The MOSS™ servers are renewed and in perfect condition, with a Next Business Day Warranty of up to 7 years, with other (SLA's) service level agreements available. This is why our MOSS™ maintenance service is environmentally sustainable, meeting (ESG) environmental, social, and governance standards.
Why MOSS™
VMS Co.’s unique, MOSS™ maintenance subscription has many of the benefits of a Cloud service, including affordable, monthly subscription payments; managed servers; upgrade capability; full warranties and comprehensive technical support. However, unlike Cloud, video streaming and broadband costs are kept low, on a local server, and there is less dependence on unreliable broadband or WAN networks.
MOSS™ has all the performance benefits of a purchased server and many of the commercial benefits of Cloud.
