Our IT infrastructure services cover six key elements

1. Physical Cabling
A secure and reliable cabling infrastructure is essential for growing businesses to ensure their voice and data communication applications can accommodate any future changes. Because industry standards require this infrastructure to utilise high performance products and be installed to the highest possible quality, our network installation service includes:
Cable infrastructure Design and installation Testing of both voice and data cabling 25-year workmanship guarantee	CAT5e CAT6 Fibre Wireless solutions

2. Components That Join Everything Together
Once the cabling is in place, devices such as hubs, switches, routers and firewalls create a network infrastructure – the backbone of your business. We ensure that this is reliable and secure, combining our knowledge with that of leading brands including Netgear and Draytek. This creates a network infrastructure capable of meeting increased demands as your business grows.

3. Server Infrastructure

Any business with two or more computers should consider using a server system. It helps run your business more efficiently; keeps data more secure; and allows you to communicate more professionally with your customers. Combining the latest leading manufacturers’ hardware and Microsoft® server software, enables us to design a secure, reliable and affordable business infrastructure capable of managing all users’ devices such as PCs, laptops and tablets.

4. Virtualisation

Virtualisation is the process that allows businesses to run multiple virtual servers on a single computer by sharing the physical resources (Processor, Memory and Hard Disks). It brings a high degree of flexibility to your IT infrastructure and by consolidating multiple servers into a simpler environment, offers cost savings to your business. Because the virtual environment exists on your network, in the same way as any other computer, it can be managed and controlled in exactly the same way.

5. Connectivity
Connectivity to the outside world is critical. Supply chain management, client services, voice solutions and integrated web solutions all need fast, reliable, cost-effective and stable connections. Without them, any organisation will fail to operate effectively. We can provide and manage the right package for your business that can include:
ADSL/ ADSL 2+ Leased lines Wireless leased lines and solutions Fibre to the cabinet	Ethernet in the first mile Ethernet over fibre to the cabinet ISDN SIP trunks

6. Relocation Services

Relocating or expanding a business into new premises can be costly and time-consuming. As well as moving the furniture, the whole IT and telecom system needs to be packed up, transported and rebuilt on the new site. With the added pressure of keeping staff working during normal business hours and the company operational, it can be a demanding and stressful period. Having assisted many businesses in this process, we have the experience and expertise to ensure the smooth running of the technology transfer, allowing you to focus on other aspects of the move.
