Problems we solve
Sound familiar?
Large files too slow in the cloud
Design, video and CAD files open instantly from a local server.
Data must stay on site
Keep sensitive files on premises, under your control.
Old server nobody understands
We document, tidy or replace it.
Need access away from the office
Secure remote access to your files from anywhere.
Save money
Pay once, instead of every month
Cloud storage and hosting bills keep coming every month, and grow with every user and every gigabyte. A local server is a one-off cost. See what that means for you.
Example figures. Change them to match your business.
Estimates only, before VAT. Local hardware also needs an off-site backup; we include that in the plan. Licences for any software you run are extra in both cases.

Can I access files from home?
Yes, through secure remote access.
What does local hosting and support include?
