In a constantly evolving industry, your IT infrastructure needs to be scalable, adaptable and designed around you

Today, there a various options for housing your IT infrastructure. It may be within your own environment, in a single data centre, across multiple sites or it may reside in Microsoft Azure and 365. Whatever the location, however complex the configuration, your IT infrastructure needs to be continually optimised and managed if it is to serve your business correctly.

We’ll be happy to take you through all the options, explain all the pros and cons, and detail how our management processes would work best for you. To give you a flavour, the following are typical solutions we’ve implemented and are managing now.

Where cloud services fit alongside your existing physical infrastructure, we can combine on-premise server technology with products such as OneDrive which can sync with Sharepoint and we can link Active Directory users to the power of Azure AD for Microsoft 365 users.
