A service built around your individual requirements

Our managed services can be scaled up or down, depending on your technical resources and desired level of control, but typically our services can be broken down like this:

  1.  A light touch: We manage computing, networking and storage but applications, middleware, operating systems and VMs sit with you. 
  2. A halfway house: Taking care of all your environment except applications and middleware.
  3. A full-service: We'll take care of everything.
