If you have a funny square box in your back office that no one but a technician touches, you can be fairly sure it’s a server doing something important. If that server is carrying your email or phone systems, and it goes down, you are stuck without a business which could last for days/weeks. Despite this, we have found that an increasing number of businesses are looking to host and virtualize their own servers on site.

Reasons for this include:

• Cost savings on hardware
• Easier backup and administration
• Reduced / eliminated downtime in the event of a failure
• Decreased disaster response times
• Dramatically faster deployment times
• Security
• Protection of company information
• Integration with existing infrastructure

Typically, though, onsite server hardware comes with the following problems:

• A server is setup and works – then left without maintenance
• There is no onsite support to deal with problems or upgrades
• Server access is not physically or virtually secured
• Vendor lock in results in high repair costs
• Servers are not virtualized where virtualization makes sense.

We provide a comprehensive set of server and virtualization solutions including:

• Consulting and design
• Supply , setup and configuration
• Repairs and emergency callout
• Maintenance and monthly check-up’s
• Range of different server hardware and virtualization platforms
