Experience the Ease and Power of WinAir Hosting

Experience the Ease and Power of WinAir Hosting

In today’s fast-paced aviation maintenance environment, simplicity, security, and efficiency are essential. With WinAir Hosting, organizations of any size can seamlessly transition their WinAir system to a secure, cloud-based infrastructure—unlocking faster performance, lower costs, and greater flexibility, without the burden of in-house IT maintenance.

Why Choose WinAir Hosting?

Whether you’re a large operation or a lean team, hosting your WinAir system offers transformative advantages:

1. Lower IT Costs and Simplified Maintenance

Self-hosting a system like WinAir involves extensive infrastructure:

  • Database management and SQL licensing

  • Data backup systems and offsite storage

  • Regular patching, hardware upgrades, and failover planning

  • In-house or contracted IT personnel

These costs add up. WinAir Hosting eliminates the need for much of this overhead. Your data and systems are maintained by WinAir’s expert IT team, allowing you to redirect resources to your core operations.

2. Advanced Backup and Disaster Recovery

With hosting, you get robust, built-in protection:

  • Daily backups, triple-replicated across geographically diverse data centers.

  • Encrypted at rest and fully managed by WinAir.

  • In catastrophic events, full recovery is typically completed within 24 hours.

  • Standard retention periods of up to 90 days depending on your hosting tier.

That’s peace of mind you won’t easily achieve in-house—unless you’re prepared to invest heavily.

3. Always Up to Date, Always Secure

WinAir Hosting follows strict NIST 800-53 security frameworks, with:

  • Secure browser access via SSL/TLS (A+ SSL Labs rating)

  • Role-based access controls and two-factor authentication

  • Environments segregated per customer for maximum isolation

  • Continuous threat monitoring and semiannual internal user training

Plus, hosted customers benefit from timely product updates managed by WinAir, keeping your system compliant and competitive without effort.


Real-World Success: Smooth Transition

An Air Ambulance operator recently migrated to the WinAir Hosting platform and reported immediate improvements:

  • The transition to WinAir’s hosted environment has been very smooth.

  • Performance (speed and accessibility) has been excellent, both on-site and when accessing from personal/home devices.

  • Mechanics have found it convenient for remote/on-call tasks without needing company devices.

Beyond improved accessibility, they also highlighted faster support and system responsiveness:

  • WinAir support could directly access systems, allowing faster issue resolution.

  • The hosting solution eliminated delays from previous dependency on IT for database uploads.

This kind of efficiency is hard to achieve with a locally hosted system tied to corporate IT processes.Remote Access When It Matters Most

Even outside typical working hours, hosted customers are finding value:

  • While no one wants to bring work home, one team member noted how useful it was to quickly log into WinAir from their phone or home computer to address an urgent pilot issue—without needing to power up their work laptop.

  • Mechanics shared similar feedback. Being on call over the weekend no longer means driving into the facility just to perform a quick task. Instead, they can access WinAir from a personal device, laptop, tablet, or even a phone—making after-hours support far more manageable.

This kind of flexibility is game-changing for teams that operate 24/7 or support remote crews.


A Scalable, Cost-Effective Solution

With Standard and Premium Hosting tiers, you get:

  • From 500GB to 1TB storage

  • Daily backups and 60–90 day retention

  • Hosted sandbox environments for testing
