★ Hardware

Small, quiet kit.
Built to sit in your cupboard.

When your systems run on-premises, we supply and install the hardware: a storage server for your data, a few office computers to run your apps, and a way for us to fix things without a visit.

★ What's on-premises?

Your systems, in your office instead of a data centre.

Most businesses keep their files and apps in the cloud, which really means someone else's computers in a data centre. On-premises means they run on computers in your own building instead.

The big win is that your office keeps working when the internet doesn't. If the NBN drops out, your team can still open files and message each other, because none of it has to leave the building. Large files open much faster too, and apart from an encrypted backup kept off-site, your data stays with you. It also brings your monthly price down.

★ What we install

What's in the cupboard

It runs in your office and we look after it.

01

The storage server

Where your files, photos and backups live. Built around an AMD Ryzen 5 or 7 processor with error-correcting (ECC) memory, which catches and fixes memory errors before they can damage your data.

  • ✓AMD Ryzen 5 or 7
  • ✓32 GB ECC memory
  • ✓Mirrored drives, sized to you
  • ✓Encrypted, with off-site backups

02

The compute fleet

Your apps run on a few small, ordinary office computers. They share the work between them, so if one fails, its apps move to the others and your team keeps working.

  • ✓Everyday office computers
  • ✓Apps shared across them
  • ✓Cheap and quick to replace

Remote management

A small KVM unit plugs into the storage server and gives us its screen, keyboard and power button over the internet. We can fix it, even when it won’t start, without coming out.

  • ✓Screen, keyboard and power, remotely
  • ✓Works even if the server won’t boot
  • ✓Fewer site visits

Spend where it counts

ECC memory and mirrored drives go in the one machine that holds your data. The rest is everyday kit.

Nothing is precious

Every machine is built from the same recipe. If one fails, we send an identical replacement and you plug it in.

Fixed from here

Between monitoring and the KVM unit, most problems are sorted before anyone needs to visit.
