Web-Based Digital Asset Management

Third Light IMS Virtual Servers

A Virtual Appliance is a Third Light server that uses a shared pool of hardware to deliver great performance at an attractive mid-range price. If you are interested in IMS's enterprise features but prefer to host your server off-site, either for convenience or reasons of cost, then our Virtual Appliance offering is designed for you. Third Light provides a complete hosting environment where we will host your Appliance, providing everything you need to run your IMS site.

Exceptional price and performance

Our Virtual Appliance product allows your investment to go further, with the added advantage of keeping your server independent with the full range of features we provide (rather than a cut-down version). As well as gaining access to key features like video storage, owning a Virtual Appliance does not mean compromising on quality, since Third Light provides reliable computing resources, storage, databases and network connectivity as part of our core business.

As an IMS user, you will have a lot of valuable data stored in our system. We realise that digital information can be extremely hard to replace, and we therefore backup your data to an off-site location every day, for total peace of mind.

Why use a Virtual Server?

A Virtual Server is a very cost-effective solution. You benefit from having a digital media server with excellent performance, rich features and substantial storage capacity, but still remain free from any special IT requirements. A Virtual Server offers a trouble-free way to own a supported, maintained digital asset management system, with enterprise options included.

Third Light has its own farm of secure web servers and a network of storage systems. IMS Virtual Servers use our data storage network. We use systems specifically designed to withstand faults without downtime, built on premium hardware and with three separate backups of your site every day.
