Cloud and infrastructure
Infrastructure implementation and optimisation
Servers, storage and networks that fit your business and keep up with it.
Overview
Infrastructure is everything that sits under your applications: the servers, storage, network equipment, power and cabling. When it is planned well, nobody notices it. When it is not, everyone does.
We plan and install new infrastructure for new offices and upgrades, and we review existing setups for slow systems, single points of failure and equipment that is near the end of its life.
We use proven equipment and keep the documentation current, so that you are never dependent on one person's memory.
What is included
Server and storage design
Sizing and layout of physical or virtual servers and storage for your workload and your growth.
Virtualisation
Running several systems on fewer machines, to cut hardware, power and maintenance.
Structured cabling and office setup
Network cabling, racks and equipment for a new or refitted office.
Performance tuning
Finding why a system is slow and changing what makes the difference.
Hardware lifecycle planning
A list of equipment with its age and support status, so that replacements are planned and not forced.
Documentation
Diagrams, passwords held safely and records of every change.
How the work is delivered
Step 1
Assess
We review what you have, how it performs and where it is likely to fail.
Step 2
Design
We draw what you need, with the equipment list and the cost.
Step 3
Implement
We install, configure and test, and we move your systems across with a plan to go back.
Step 4
Monitor
We watch capacity and health and tell you early when something needs attention.
What you end up with
- Equipment sized for your business today and the next few years
- No important system that depends on one old machine
- Documentation that a new engineer can follow
- A replacement plan instead of emergency purchases
- Faster systems where speed was the complaint
