"Hosted Networks" A Hosted Network is a service which,
in the most generic sense, provides services that are
provided over the Internet but delivered locally to a remote
site. In the hosted network environment, conected
devices receive the same services and have the same
capabilities as local servers and networks provide.
The Internet is used to connect the client machine to the
hosted server, which allows access to server data, content,
security and other services including printing and policies.
We use a proprietary industry software that requires that we have our servers local in our office. We never understood before how important it is for our technology providers to be aware of having both cloud and local networks and how to bridge them!
