Personalised service to fit your individual needs

Depending on your technical resources and desired level of control, our Azure managed services can be scaled up or down, but our services are commonly split down in the following ways:
  • A light touch: We manage your computing, networking and storage but applications, middleware, operating systems and VMs sit with you. 
  • A halfway house: Taking care of all your environment except applications and middleware.
  • A full-service: We'll take care of everything. 

Built-in disaster recovery as standard

In the case of a disaster, our disaster recovery provides the ultimate safety net for minimising downtime and data loss.

Our experts are ready to go at a moment's notice, whenever calamity hits, to get your critical apps back up if there's a problem. We use back-up mechanisms that ensure three independent locations for your data.

Disaster recovery is highly successful and cost-efficient, as it works on a pay-as-you-go basis, kicking in just when you need it – giving you a peace of mind and lower costs, when it really matters.
