Server Installation

Any of our Server operating systems will come preinstalled on your new Server, this may be a physical or virtual server at your premises, or a physical or virtual server located in a datacentre. All servers can be configured to your requirements to make them suitable for your current and future needs.

From the inital discussions through to the hand over of the servers you will be in complete control.

Server Servicing

We recommend Monthly checks on your servers to ascertain the health of it.

This involves installing all necessary updates and having them checked before going out to the whole system.

We shall also make sure everything is running as smoothly as possible and notify you of any problems which might occur and how to prevent them from happening.

We try to do all server servicing out of hours to minimise the amount of downtime for your company and an engineer would be available the following day in case of any problems.

If the worst happens and one of your servers has a software or hardware problem then we can repair the system either onsite or in our workshop.

We aim to get the system back up and running in the shortest time possible to cause the minimal amount of downtime for your company.
