How we can help
What happens if the old server will not start?
It may still work, but the warranty has expired, storage is nearly full or only one person knows its configuration. We check the applications that depend on it and plan the changes needed.
Choosing the setup
We check application requirements, storage and computing resources. We compare keeping existing equipment with a new configuration.
Installation and virtualisation
We configure physical servers and virtual machines, separate systems and allocate resources according to applications.
Application migration
We prepare the transfer of data and services. We test operation with the people or suppliers who know the applications.
Administration and checks
We monitor storage, updates and the services included. We keep settings and the details needed for maintenance.
How we start
Check dependencies
We review applications, users and requirements, then check backups and access.
Prepare the new setup
We install the environment and test the transfer where possible. We agree a migration window and a recovery plan.
Migrate and check
We move the agreed services, check applications and document the changes.
How we price the work
Equipment, licences, virtual server numbers and migration complexity determine the proposal. Monthly administration and backup can be included as separate services.
View plansWhat the proposal covers
We agree the applications, data and tests included and estimate the interruption needed. For commercial applications, we check requirements with their supplier.
Frequently asked questions
Can we keep existing servers?
Yes, if their condition and resources support the setup needed. We assess them before recommending purchases.
Does virtualisation replace backup?
No. A virtual server can lose data just like a physical one. Backups and restore tests need planning for each important system.
