Server Installations and Upgrades

With so many patches, upgrades and new software versions being released all the time, it can be difficult to keep up. If you need to deploy or upgrade mission-critical servers, we can make the process quick and painless for you.

Independent Advice and Conflict Resolution

Far too often we have seen customers struggling with "grey area" problems - the hardware supplier says it's a software problem, whilst the software supplier says it's clearly a hardware problem.

We can cut through the confusion, identify the true cause of the problem, and then help fix it.

Network Health Checks

It can be extremely useful to have an independent observer look at your network and produce an impartial assessment of its condition.

We can inspect your servers and network infrastructure, report any problems we find, and make suggestions as to how they might be improved. Over the years we have found backup systems that are writing blank tapes every night; incorrectly configured firewalls that are exposing networks to the outside world; file servers that have been compromised by hackers; mail servers that have no anti-virus protection and hundreds of other similar issues.

And even if we don't find anything nasty, you'll get peace of mind knowing that your systems actually are as safe as you thought they were.

Advice on New Technologies

We can advise you of other technologies that would be useful to you and to your business.

This is often difficult for your own IT staff to do - they're usually too busy, and they don't get exposed to the same variety of systems and applications that we do.

You could be missing out on vital cost savings, advanced functionality or improved efficiency that other technologies offer.

Additional Resources

Perhaps your existing IT staff are overwhelmed, or you need more manpower for a particular project.

We can provide experienced, qualified staff to work with you in a cost-effective manner, both on a short-term and long-term basis. All of our consultants spend time working in network support, so they know what works in the real world and what doesn't. Support experience also means they know how to deploy systems that are reliable and easy to manage in the long term.

Data Infrastructure and Cabling

Integrations can provide for all means of data infrastructure from fibre to wireless.

All work is carried out to the highest standard and testing sheets can be provided. We will also consult on the various options available.
