Some of the other benefits of this infrastructure were of interest to John too:

• Every night his office server is backed up, automatically, in a secure manner, and the backup data is held offsite so that if anything happens to John's offices his vital business data is safe.
• Both the firewall and the office server are fully managed remotely
• John has arranged that he can access his email securely via the Internet, so when he is away from home he can use an Internet cafe or a laptop to read and manage his email.
• Logs are kept detailing the sender and recipient of each email with the date and time, and who has accessed which websites when. John does not routinely review this information, but he is glad that it is available.
• A web page, visible to John and selected staff only, shows how many visitors the website has had, and contains lots of statistical information about those visitors, such as how they found his website in the first place.
