Bitrix24 box hosting in the clouds

Recently we talked about what CRM systems are, how they are useful for business and how to ensure the most effective operation of this software. Now we propose to dwell in more detail on the most popular CRM system not only in Ukraine, but also in the CIS countries - Bitrix24. And also on how Tucha cloud solutions are beneficial for different tariffs of the boxed version of this software product.

In general, Bitrix24 is more than just a CRM system. This is a whole set of tools that helps to simplify the company's work processes, provide better communication with employees and customers, allows you to control the execution of tasks, etc. The main feature of the boxed version of Bitrix24 is the ability to place the product on your own server. There are a number of advantages to this, which we will discuss next. Of course, given the reliability, security and convenience that clouds provide, we recommend placing the boxed versions of Bitrix24 on virtual servers. So, let's consider all the benefits in more detail.

What is Bitrix24 box

Bitrix24 is a whole set of tools at once that helps in optimizing the company's work. It includes the following main components: CRM system, Tasks and projects, Contact center, Websites and shops, Office. 

The functionality that the user receives depends on the chosen edition. The following functions are now available: CRM system, online store + CRM, Corporate portal (with versions that depend on the number of users) and Enterprise. The choice of the tariff depends on the number of users who will work in Bitrix24 and the required number of tools.

The box version of Bitrix24 is a license that the user buys once and renews it once a year. The main difference between this version and the cloud version is that you need a server to host it. 

As already mentioned, the system can be placed on a physical or virtual server, which allows the owner to monitor the state of the system independently (or through the provider on whose servers the box is located). With the boxed version, you can independently influence the quality of its work thanks to the selected server (usually, you cannot influence the work of the finished cloud version, therefore, in case of problems with the server, all the portals that work on it can fail at the same time).

The box has a slightly more advanced functionality, it is not limited by the supplier in terms of the number of simultaneously running business processes, it allows you to modify the internal modules due to the permitted access to the file structure. In addition, this version allows the system administrator to independently launch portal updates. This makes it possible to control all updates and install them at the right time, so that, for example, it does not interfere with the work of users.

Perhaps the main factor that influences the operation of the box is the server that hosts the software product. What exactly depends on the quality of hosting?

The speed and stability of access to Bitrix24.

Fault tolerance of the system and uninterrupted operation even during heavy loads.

Security and reliable data storage.

Fast scaling, that is, the ability to quickly add resources to provide the required capacity at the moment.

The speed of response of technical support to inquiries.
