Your server in safe hands

If you have a server – whether its onsite or cloud based – you need to know that it is being carefully looked after to minimise the risk of downtime for users, or even worse.

With our server management packages your server is in safe hands.  We use a comprehensive range of tools for security, management and monitoring but we don’t just rely on those; at least once a month a senior engineer carries out in depth checks as well.

Alerts when there is any failure on a server are automatically reported to all our engineers so we can start working on problems as soon as possible – usually before there is any effect on users.

Additional Layers of Security

Server management isn’t just about keeping things running—it’s about ensuring your data, applications, and users are always protected. We provide end-to-end security with proactive measures that go beyond just monitoring. Our team can implement advanced firewall protection and intrusion detection systems (IDS) to guard against malicious activity. By analysing traffic and system behaviour, we can identify and counteract threats before they escalate.

Patch Management and Vulnerability Scanning

Security is an ongoing effort. Our system includes automated vulnerability scans to spot potential risks in real-time, along with a comprehensive patch management process that ensures your server’s software is up-to-date with the latest security patches and fixes. This reduces the likelihood of exploits and minimizes your exposure to cyber threats.

Incident Response and Recovery

In the rare event of a security breach, we have a robust incident response plan in place. Our team acts swiftly to contain, investigate, and mitigate any threats, ensuring business continuity. Furthermore, our disaster recovery solutions enable rapid server restoration, minimizing downtime and keeping your business operations intact.

We have various backup options dependent on your needs.
