ILLiad : Hosted service

ILLiad hosted service

OCLC provides complete server hosting to all ILLiad™ users. This optional service includes all of the hardware and software components needed, as well as all back-ups, system and software upgrades, and customization and installation time from the developers. Whether you need some extra help setting up ILLiad or require off-site hosting of the servers, OCLC gives you solid support through reliable installation options.

The benefits of using hosting include:

  • You save on server space, reduce internal technical support demands, and have no future costs for hardware or software upgrades
  • We provide specific opportunities to improve your library's ILLiad performance by condensing database historical transaction data and log files
  • You stay current with ILLiad upgrades
