Peace of Mind

Risks Summit Takes Off Your Plate

When Summit manages your environment, these aren’t your problems anymore.

Ransomware and malware

Managed AV/AM blocks threats before they cost you thousands in recovery time.

Data loss

Daily managed backups, tested and recoverable, so a restore is a routine request rather than a scramble.

Unpatched vulnerabilities

Server patching runs on a schedule instead of waiting for someone to find the time.

Unexpected downtime

A 99.99% uptime SLA, contractually backed. When your team needs to work, the app is there.

Hardware failure

Emergency server replacements come out of our budget instead of yours. Hardware is our problem.

Compliance exposure

SOC 2-aligned infrastructure with a managed firewall, keeping client data protected.

What We Measure

The Hidden Costs of Hosting Your Own Apps

Most comparisons only count the server bill. This calculator adds up the costs that drive the decision.

IT Labor Cost

The real cost of managing servers, patching software, handling support calls, and keeping everything running.

Downtime Impact

Every hour a user can’t reach their apps is a fully burdened hour with no output, and month-end close is when it hurts most.

Hardware and Managed Services

Server refresh cycles, backup software, antivirus, anti-malware, patching, and SQL licensing are real recurring costs most shops never add up.

Security Risk

Security incidents are a question of when, not if. The calculator weights your breach exposure as an expected annual cost.
