Hosted Servers and Applications
Need a new server or application but don’t want the initial cost of a new physical server? Hardware cost is a substantial chunk of an IT budget for most SME’s. A Hosted solution then maybe the best option for you. We work with both Microsoft Azure Platform and Amazon AWS and will be able to offer you a solution that best fits your business.


Email solutions
Hosted email solutions are utilized by most SME’s due to their costs and scalability with no hardware costs. Your emails will be accessible from anywhere so long as you have an internet connection.
We primarily offer Office 365 for this email solution. There are different options available here priced per user depending on your requirements. Some options available are Office applications, Yammer (business social networking service) and Telephony VOIP services.

A backup solution is key for every business. Without backups, your business could implode. How would you handle your main file server going down if you had no backups of it? All that data would be lost. Similarly for your SQL database server or Email server.
Having a backup solution in place gives you the confidence to know that no data is ever really lost and can be recovered, it’s just a matter of time.

Another consideration when it comes to backups is a disaster. What for your company is a disaster, losing a key server for more than 60mins, 30mins, 15mins? Your entire site has been flooded? We offer backup solutions to cover this.
Cloud based backups is one of the cheaper options available here but does nothing in relation to speeding up the restore process. However, having the backups offsite ensures they are never lost due to a disaster at your premise.
We also offer DR solutions with option of having a server back up and running within few minutes. This solution can be onsite only or onsite and in cloud utilizing virtual infrastructure.

Anti-Virus

Security is a critical component of any business. Anti-Virus is vital for end user devices to ensure smooth running of the device and for security to be maintained. Viruses can have many destructive objectives which can have a small to critical impact on your users and business. Some types are
Browser pop ups for advertising (slows PC down and makes browsing web difficult)
Encryption of files (losing access to files and are asked to pay to decrypt them)
Key loggers (captures your keyboard input for logins like Internet Banking)
We offer a robust Anti-Virus cloud based solution for both Windows, Linux and MAC devices. This ensures that any and all of your devices are protected.


Network Device security upgrades.

Software patching is vital to any healthy system, network devices are no exception. Hardware vendors are consistently providing security patches for their devices to ensure bugs and security flaws are closed. If you are not patching your network devices, you are leaving these issues there to be exploited.
We offer a network patching review and upgrade path. This can either be just the review or the required software patching as well.

Email and Web filter solutions.

Email filters are a critical part of any company’s day to day business. Anti-Spam detection, blocking of emails with dubious content, certain words or types of attachments blocked. These are just some examples of vital protection to ensure a cleaner and error free user’s mailbox.
Web filters are common place for most business’s. The complexity however vastly changes. Do you wish to block certain types of websites? Gambling & pornography, specific websites?

Web filters are designed to both restrict what types of websites users can access, at what time and to ensure that low reputation websites are not allowed to be accessed.
