More Data Centers than any other provider

FileMaker Hosting near you

When using FileMaker Server with FileMaker Go or FileMaker Pro, it’s important to consider network latency due to FileMaker’s chatty nature over the network. FileMaker applications frequently exchange data with the server, and high latency can significantly impact performance. That’s why we have more data centers than another FileMaker Hosting provider.

Don't get fooled with lite data centers

Some providers, like AWS or companies that use AWS, do not have fully capable data centers in all their locations.  For example, although you can put a FileMaker server on AWS ‘s Dallas data center, it will be a small server incapable of handling even a moderately busy application.  Ottomatic’s data centers can handle servers of nay size.

Security first, second, and third!

Ottomatic is the only SOC II-certified FileMaker Hosting Partner.

Other included security features

  • Enhanced Firewall
  • Basic DDOS protection
  • Active monitoring for security exploits
  • Maintenance – OS and application patching

FileMaker Hosting with less stress

Multi-tiered backups & Disaster recovery

Ottomatic’s FileMaker Hosting platform includes a multi-tiered backup strategy. Backups are sent offsite every day and held for 14 days by default. Point-in-time snapshots are made at 30-minute intervals and stored for up to 7 days. Backups can be downloaded or restored from the Ottomatic Cloud Console or OttoFMS whenever necessary.

Additional backup and disaster recovery options like full VM snapshots and offsite backups to your own s3 buckets are also available.

Active and responsive monitoring

Ottomatic uses industry-leading tools to monitor and maintain your Ottomatic Instance.

Ottomatic employs active port and endpoint monitoring to ensure the availability of your application from anywhere on the globe. Our resource monitor collects critical statistics on bundled software like FileMaker Server and Otto. Our systems forecast potential issues and keep our team informed about the performance of your Ottomatic Instance. In addition to real-time monitoring, we store valuable statistical data, such as Event and Access logs, for historical analysis and auditing.

Fully managed Filemaker hosting

Ottomatic’s FileMaker hosting platform is fully managed, meaning you do not have to worry about managing our maintaining your FileMaker Server. We do all the maintenance and ensure that the instance runs as expected.  All you have to do is build your applications.

But you still have all the access you need to the server through the FileMaker Server Admin Console. OttoFMS, and the Ottomatic Cloud console. You upload and download files, setup schedules, run deployments and data migrations, and even restart FileMaker Server processes.

FileMaker Hosting with OttoFMS

OttoFMS is a powerful enhancement for FileMaker Server that streamlines server management and automation. As a key component of the Ottomatic platform, it provides developers with tools for efficient DevOps workflows, including automated data migrations and seamless file transfers. Its REST API enables extensive control over FileMaker Server.

Advanced Admin Console

OttFMS also extends the FileMaker Server admin console with several unavailable features. Upload and download files with the File browser. Easily read and search all the server logs. Even restore files from backups with a single click. Not available with Essentials, as it is not a dedicated server plan.
