R2 Hosting
R2 Software is a cloud-based solution, providing customers with the ability to focus on their core rental and operational activities while relying on the cloud to handle critical IT infrastructure, security, and accessibility requirements. The cloud deployment ensures high availability, robust data protection, and seamless remote access, allowing organizations to operate efficiently from any location. For customers with specific preferences or regulatory requirements, UBS also offers a flexible on-premise deployment option, giving organizations full control over their infrastructure while benefiting from the same powerful functionality and configurability that R2 delivers.
Cost-Efficiency
By leveraging cloud-based resources, organizations can significantly reduce the costs and operational overhead associated with maintaining physical servers and on-site IT infrastructure. This approach eliminates the need for hardware purchases, ongoing maintenance, and dedicated IT staff to manage servers, while also minimizing expenses related to energy consumption, physical space, and hardware upgrades. Additionally, cloud deployment provides scalable resources that can be adjusted to meet evolving business demands, enabling companies to optimize efficiency, allocate capital more strategically, and focus on core business operations rather than infrastructure management.
Scalability
Cloud-hosted software provides the flexibility and scalability necessary to accommodate the evolving needs of growing businesses. As organizations expand or experience fluctuations in demand, the cloud infrastructure can seamlessly adjust to handle increased workloads, ensuring consistent and reliable performance even during traffic spikes or peak seasonal periods. This scalability allows businesses to maintain operational efficiency without the need for costly hardware upgrades or extensive IT intervention. By leveraging cloud-hosted solutions, companies can confidently support growth, optimize resource utilization, and deliver a consistently high-quality experience to their users and customers.
Accessibility
"Cloud-hosted software offers the advantage of universal accessibility, allowing users to securely access their systems from anywhere with an internet connection. This flexibility enables seamless remote work and collaboration across teams, departments, and geographic locations, ensuring uninterrupted productivity regardless of where users are located. With R2’s cloud-hosted platform, organizations gain continuous access to both their production and test environments, allowing teams to manage live operations while simultaneously developing, testing, and refining processes in a controlled environment. This capability supports greater agility, fosters collaboration, and ensures that business-critical functions remain available and efficient at all times.
Security
Cloud providers implement comprehensive and robust security measures designed to protect sensitive information and maintain the integrity of business data. These measures include advanced data encryption both at rest and in transit, ensuring that information remains secure from unauthorized access. Additionally, cloud platforms undergo regular updates and security patches to address emerging threats, maintain compliance with industry standards, and safeguard against potential vulnerabilities. By leveraging these protections, organizations can confidently rely on cloud-based solutions to store, manage, and process critical data while minimizing risk and maintaining regulatory and operational compliance.
Reliability
With cloud hosting, data is automatically backed up across multiple geographically distributed servers, significantly reducing the risk of data loss due to hardware failure, natural disasters, or other unforeseen events. This redundancy ensures that critical business information remains protected and accessible at all times, providing high availability and consistent uptime for users. By leveraging cloud infrastructure, organizations can maintain business continuity, minimize operational disruptions, and have confidence that their data is secure, resilient, and readily available whenever it is needed.
