What retailer doesn’t want a new, modern retail information system? But for retailers used to developing and or hosting their own server-based (or mainframe) retail applications, with the associated hardware and network infrastructure, the decision isn’t always that easy.

With the Alpha Bay Adaptive Integrated Retail System—AIRS®—in Hybrid IS, SaaS, or Cloud Computing configurations, retailers can move to a holistic, functionality rich application and can also greatly reduce costs and administrative burdens because they no longer have to purchase original and replacement servers to maintain reliability and performance. Additional cost savings are realized due to the eliminated requirement to purchase maintenance contracts on server fleets, hardware and infrastructure. The need for specialized IT staff to serve as interface to hardware vendors, and to develop, support, and maintain the data center network is also curtailed.

Alpha Bay is ready and responsible for everything related to the reliable delivery of AIRS®, 24/7/365 with 99.999% reliability with its Hybrid IS, SaaS, and Cloud Computing AIRS® solutions. This includes servers, backups, maintenance, monitoring, specialized IT staffing, data center facilities, backups, redundancy, system admin and future-proofed software application design, development and roll out.
