Operate
Servers, networks and backups, designed, secured and kept running.
For businesses that want systems they understand and control. We plan, set up and look after your servers, office network, backups and safe access for staff working away from the office, and we monitor all of it.

What you get
What we take care of
Everything below is part of the service. You get one team that knows how it all fits together.
-
01
A plan before you buy
Capacity, what happens if a part fails, cost and where your data lives, all decided before any hardware or cloud service is bought.
-
02
Servers set up properly
Servers built the same documented way every time, locked down against attacks and kept up to date with security updates.
-
03
More from the same hardware
One server split into separate, isolated parts, so you get more from the hardware, one problem doesn't stop everything, and recovery is simpler.
-
04
Installed the same way every time
Your applications are packaged so they go live the same way every time, behind a secure connection.
-
05
A network that limits damage
Office and server networks divided so that one hacked or infected device cannot reach everything.
-
06
Safe access from outside the office
Staff and suppliers connect safely, each with their own login, instead of through doors left open to the internet and shared passwords.
-
07
Backups that restore
Copies of your data kept in another place and tested by actually restoring them, so getting your data back is a routine, not a hope.
-
08
Watched, with alerts to a person
Each server's health, free space and security certificates are watched, along with signs of a break-in, and a person is warned if something is wrong.
Try it
Every layer, looked after
Every visit to your website passes through each of these layers. Choose one to see what we take care of there.
Layer 1 of 6
The front door
Your domain, the padlock, protection from attacks
Visitors reach you over a secure connection, and junk traffic is stopped before it gets in.
Layer 2 of 6
One entrance
Every visit goes to the right place
A single, guarded entrance sends each visitor to the right website or app, with protective settings on the way.
Layer 3 of 6
Your applications
Website, online shop, automatic tasks
Each one runs on its own and is updated the same careful way every time.
Layer 4 of 6
Your data
Customers, orders, content and files
Kept where the internet can't reach it, with room to grow, and backed up.
Layer 5 of 6
The servers
Separate spaces on each machine
Every service has its own isolated space, so one problem doesn't take everything down.
Layer 6 of 6
Day-to-day care
Watching, alerts, backups, updates
A person is warned when something goes wrong, backups are tested, and updates are planned.
The problem
Does this sound familiar?
-
One server runs everything, and nobody is sure what is on it.
-
There are backups, but nobody has ever tried to restore one.
-
Staff connect from outside the office through makeshift, unsafe set-ups.
Habits, not promises
How we run things
The routines behind every server and site we look after.
- Security updates on a schedule, with a backup taken first
- Copies of your data kept somewhere else, and tested so they really work
- Alerts that reach a person, not a forgotten inbox
- Everyone has their own login: no shared passwords
- Everything written down, so nothing depends on one person's memory
FAQ
Questions about infrastructure
Straight answers. Anything else, ask us directly.
Should my business use the cloud or its own servers?
It depends on what you run, how sensitive your data is and the cost over time. We design for the cloud, your own hardware or a mix of both, and show you the trade-offs in numbers you can check.
Do you do penetration testing?
No. We design, secure, monitor and review your systems' settings. For a formal penetration test (a controlled, simulated attack), we recommend an independent specialist, and we will help you act on what they find.
Can you take over servers someone else set up?
Yes. We start by listing what is there and checking the risks, write it all down, then fix the most urgent problems first.
Is there an alternative to VMware?
Yes. Mature open-source platforms run virtual machines and containers, can spread them across several servers so one failure doesn't stop everything, and include backups, without per-core licences. Paid support plans are available when you want them. Many businesses reviewed their options after VMware's licensing changes in 2024. Whether a move suits you depends more on the design (what happens when a part fails, storage, backups) than on the product name.
What is the 3-2-1 backup rule, and is it enough against ransomware?
It means three copies of your data, on two different types of storage, with one copy kept off site. Against ransomware (software that locks your files and demands payment), it is not enough on its own. Add one copy that cannot be changed or deleted, protect the backup system with its own separate logins, and test restoring on a schedule: a backup that has never been restored is only a hope.
How can staff access company systems safely from outside the office?
Through a secure, private connection (a VPN or zero-trust access) with two-step login, never by opening remote desktop or admin pages directly to the internet. Give each person only the access they need, and keep a record of who connected and when.
