Business networks, Wi-Fi, cabling and the backup and recovery systems that decide whether an incident is an inconvenience or a disaster.
Network solutions
Slow Wi-Fi, dead spots, a network that drops whenever the office gets busy — these are usually design problems, not bad luck. Consumer equipment and improvised cabling do not survive a real business load.
- Business Wi-Fi — access points placed and configured for actual coverage, with a separate guest network so visitors never touch your internal systems.
- Network design and installation — planned properly around how many users and devices you have, and what you expect to add.
- VPN setup — secure remote access for staff working from home or between sites.
- Router and switch configuration — business-grade hardware, configured and documented rather than left on factory defaults.
- Structured cabling — tidy, labelled, tested runs, whether for a handful of desks or a full office fit-out.
- Internet and ISP coordination — we handle the provider: ordering the line, chasing the install, and escalating faults.
Backup and disaster recovery
Backups are the part of IT that everyone agrees is important and almost nobody tests. A backup that has silently failed for eight months is worse than no backup, because you were counting on it.
- Automated data backup — scheduled, monitored, and verified, so a failure is noticed by us rather than discovered by you.
- Server backup — full system images that can be restored rather than rebuilt from scratch.
- Workstation backup — protection for the files staff keep on their own machines.
- Disaster recovery planning — a documented plan for what happens after fire, flood, theft or ransomware: what gets restored, in what order, and how long each step takes.
- Business continuity — arrangements that let you keep trading while the primary systems are being brought back.
Ransomware is a backup problem
Most small businesses that recover well from a ransomware incident do so because they had isolated, tested backups — not because of anything clever. Most that pay do so because their only backup was reachable from the same network that got encrypted. We separate the two.
Have your backups been tested?
If you cannot remember the last time a restore was actually attempted, that is worth an hour of someone’s time. We will check what you have and tell you whether it would hold up.
