Disaster recovery
Just having a backup solution is not enough for most organisations. A backup may allow you to restore files, but it probably won’t allow you to restore all your systems in the case of a major failure. We can help with the design, implementation, documentation and testing of full disaster recovery systems. Be prepared and avoid the chance of significant loss to your business.

We set up warning notifications so we can monitor our retained clients systems for FREE. This allows us to identify and resolve critical issues, often before they are noticed by users. Our proactive monitoring saves time and provides our clients with better performance and higher systems availability.

Virtualisation lets you meet your objectives of greater efficiency and flexibility by consolidating your systems onto fewer physical platforms. We can explain the benefits of virtualisation and consolidated storage, and how they can apply to your business. We have a long track record of implementing VMware vSphere for companies just like you.
Remote solutions
Remote working and mobility has become an essential part of most organisations. We provide advice on the different options and implement remote access solutions from all leading vendors – including the very flexible Netconnect platform.
Solutions
A lot of our clients are small to medium businesses so we understand their issues well – multi-site environments; getting backoffice functions to the corners of the factory floor; working within and around the limitations imposed by buildings that were never designed with 21st Century computing in mind.
