When the server's the thing keeping you up at night

One box quietly running half the business — until it isn't. These are the situations we're called in for most.

"It's getting slower every month"

Logins drag, files crawl, apps time out. Usually it's disk, memory or a service quietly eating resources. We tune it before it grinds to a halt.

End-of-life and unsupported

Server 2012 is done; older boxes are a security and insurance risk. We plan and run the upgrade with minimal downtime — not a panicked weekend.

Patching nobody owns

Updates get postponed for months because no one wants to risk a reboot. We patch on a planned schedule, out of hours, with backups in place.

Outgrowing on-prem

Hardware's ageing and you're weighing a new server vs the cloud. We give you an honest comparison — on-prem, hosted or hybrid — and run the move.

Active Directory tangle

Permissions, group policy and shared drives that have grown messy over the years. We tidy access so the right people reach the right things.

No eyes on it overnight

The first you hear of a failed disk or full drive shouldn't be Monday morning. Our monitoring flags it the moment it happens.

How We Work

We take the server off your plate

Whether you've got one box in a cupboard or a rack of virtual machines, the approach is the same: understand it, stabilise it, keep it healthy.

1

Health check

We document what you're running, spot the risks — patching, disk, backups, end-of-life — and give you a clear, prioritised picture.

2

Stabilise

We fix the urgent stuff first: failing hardware, missing updates, exposed services and shaky backups.

3

Monitor & patch

Proactive monitoring and a planned patch schedule keep it healthy — issues get caught and handled before they bite.

4

Plan ahead

Capacity planning and upgrade roadmaps mean migrations happen on your terms, not as a 2am emergency.

Common Questions

Server support, answered

Should we keep our server on-site or move to the cloud?

It depends on your apps, your internet connection and your budget — there's no one right answer. We'll give you an honest comparison of on-prem, hosted and hybrid, including the real running costs, and let you decide. We support all three.

Our Windows Server is end-of-life — is that urgent?

Yes, it's worth acting on. Unsupported servers stop getting security patches, can breach cyber-insurance conditions and put your data at risk. We can plan a smooth upgrade or migration with minimal disruption — no big-bang weekend required.

Do you support Linux as well as Windows?

Yes — Windows Server, the main Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS) and virtualisation with Hyper-V and VMware. Mixed environments are completely normal for us.

Can you take over a server someone else set up?

Absolutely. We start with a health check to document and understand it, then take over monitoring, patching and support. You don't need to start from scratch.

What happens if it goes down out of hours?

Our monitoring alerts us to problems as they happen, and you get a real engineer on the phone — not a ticket in a queue. We work to agreed response times to get you back online fast.
