If a fault is found, you will be issued with a written quote to fix the problem containing enough detail to enable you to obtain an independent quote should you want one. You will also receive the results of all the tests we carry out (pass or fail) along with any written notes detailing any issues which we would like to draw your attention to.

Our solutions use a combination of hardware and software specifically chosen and tested to work well together, and often involve the use of Virtual Appliances. Our primary focus is on Quality, Reliability & Business Continuity, while minimising Total Cost of Ownership.


Preventative Network Maintenance



Unlike most companies, we don't wait for something to go wrong before we fix it. We believe it is in both our interests to carry out preventative maintenance. When building and maintaining networks, we always apply the adages "prevention is better than cure" and "be prepared". This is why we try to anticipate and prevent problems from occurring, but when they do occur, ensure we're prepared for them. Being prepared reduces the time and expense it then takes to fix the problem.

Consultancy, Checkups & Servicing



If your not yet ready for a maintenance contract why not just call us for some independent expert advice, or a quick network health check? A checkup usually only takes a few hours and can reveal a wealth of information on the current state of your network. If you wish, we can fix any problems that are found. If you would rather ask another company to fix them, that's OK too; we understand the need for impartiality when giving advice.

Servers, Business Workstations & Home PCs



We build all our computers from scratch, and tailor them to your requirements. We also try to predict and account for your future requirements, especially when this can be done at little or no expense. Every component we use is vetted and chosen for it's suitability and exceptional reliability. In addition, we always soak test every computer before it's despatched. This strict quality control procedure enables us to guarantee all our computers against hardware failure for 5 years.

Backup, Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity



Backup is actually a far more complex issue than it may at first seem. The trouble is, definitions of backup vary. Consequently, many companies have no idea what their actually backing up. Time to recovery is often not considered either. Backup is actually just a small part of maintaining business continuity, and that's where we come in. We're experts in business continuity and have developed hardware and software solutions specifically for the needs of small business.

For more detailed information about our backup & business continuity solutions click here.


Virtual Servers



A 'normal' server consists of two primary parts, namely, the physical hardware and the operating system software. Any additional software is then added to gain functionality not provided by the operating system itself. The problem with this approach is that the operating system, and the software, is then dependant on that hardware. When the hardware fails, so does the server and software. By virtualizing the server, this link between hardware and software is broken.

For more detailed information about the many other benefits of virtualization click here.


Virtual Appliances



A virtual machine which only contains an operating system and a single application, is called a virtual appliance. Virtual appliances are exceptionally reliable because the application its settings and its data are completely self contained. As a consequence, the application can be moved, copied, restored, repaired, upgraded and restarted without effecting any other applications and appliances running on the same physical host server.

Most home networks consist of a wireless router, desktop computer, and a few laptops. An increasing number of homes also have a Home Server. The unfortunate side effect of all this technology is that there's more to go wrong! Self installed networks are often 'cobbled' together and tend to be far less reliable than their professionally installed counterparts. Self installed networks also tend to lack many of the features a home network can provide.

Less than 5 and it largely depends on the company, but chances are, you still need one. Although an extra computer may seem extravagant when you only have a few workstations, the benefits a server provides are essential to any business, large or small. Here are just some of the benefits a dedicated server can provide...

They can even stream live or recorded television to any computer in the house! If you want to take that recording with you on your netbook or laptop, you can do that too. Forgot to set the video recorder? That's no problem either. You can access your Home Server from any computer or mobile phone that has access to the internet.

The problem with this approach is that the operating system, and the software, is then dependant on that hardware. When the hardware fails, so does the server and software.

This section is in progress, but you can find the benefits of virtualization listed below.


Application Stability



Applications are much more reliable when isolated from other applications.


Application Versioning



Multiple Versions of the same application and data can be kept indefinitely.


Application Testing



New applications, or new versions of current applications can be tested before deployment.


Application Portability



Applications can be moved between computers if one computer fails or requires maintenance.


Multi Computer Access



An application can be shared so anyone can use it even if it isn't installed on their computer.


Multi User Access



An application can be accessed by multiple users at the same time.


Single Instance Maintenance



When an application needs patching or upgrading, this only needs to be done on one computer.


Remote Access



Applications can be made available to remote workers if required.


Simplified Backup & Restore



Applications, their settings, and their data can all be backed up.


Application & Server Maintainence Simplification



Applications are completely self contained.


Simplified Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity



Entire networks can be restored in hours in the event of a Fire or Flood.


Server Consolidation



Multiple physical servers can be virtualised and consolidated into one.


Reduced Hardware Costs



Fewer servers means less hardware to buy and less hardware to go wrong.


Reduced Power Consumption



Reducing the number of physical servers also reduces power consumption and costs.


Run Legacy Applications



Run older applications without the usual security and stability risks.

Rather than buy another computer then, why not utilise your existing hardware? Using 3CX Phone System software, this is exactly what we do. This not only saves money, but is actually a far more flexible and feature rich solution too. Virtualize the software, and the solution becomes more robust than a standard phone system too.

For smaller offices we recommend an all DrayTek solution comprising the VigorIPPBX 2820 and VigorPhone 350 Telephones. These phones are compatible with 3CX, enabling the DrayTek system to be upgraded to a 3CX one at a later date. If you have a home office, or your requirements don't necessitate a local telephone system, then you may wish to consider an 0845 Number.

The number is usually setup on the same day, and from then on the call routing can be managed using a web based management console. Any changes you make take immediate effect. Call options include routing to one or many destination phone numbers either sequentially or simultaneously. Numbers cost from 100 GBP annually, and there are no additional call charges when routing to UK landlines.

The first step in establishing Business Continuity is to carry out a risk assessment.
When we carry out a risk assessment we try to answer the following questions...

What threats are there to the network?
How likely is the threat?
What would the likely cost of the threat be?

What solutions are there to the threat?
What are the costs of those solutions?
