Onsite servers
For the practices, surveyors, trades and offices where the cloud alone doesn't cut it — big files, special software, or data that has to stay in the building. We spec, install and look after the metal locally.
When the cloud isn't the whole answer.
Plenty of businesses run perfectly on cloud alone — but not all. Huge CAD and survey files, line-of-business software that wants a local server, patient or client data with strict handling rules, or a site where the internet just isn't fast enough. That's where an on-premise server earns its keep.
We size the right server for your team, set up shared files and logins, lock it down, and — most importantly — back it up properly. Often the best setup is hybrid: a local server for speed paired with the cloud for off-site safety.
// what we handle
- 01
File servers
Fast shared storage for big files and busy teams, with proper permissions.
- 02
Domains & logins
Central user accounts and policies so staff and security are easy to manage.
- 03
Line-of-business apps
Servers for the practice, accounting or industry software your business runs on.
- 04
Backup & redundancy
On-site and off-site backups, with drives mirrored so one failure isn't a disaster.
- 05
Hybrid cloud
Local speed where you need it, cloud safety where it counts — working together.
- 06
Ongoing care
Monitoring, updates and a known number to call when something needs a hand.
On-premise makes sense when you…
- Work with very large files daily
- Run software that needs a local server
- Have data that must stay on-site
- Need fast access regardless of internet
- Want central control of staff logins
- Have outgrown a shared drive or NAS
Good questions, straight answers.
Isn't everything moving to the cloud now?
A lot is, and for many businesses that's the right call. But not everything — large files, certain software, and data-handling rules can all make a local server faster, cheaper or simply necessary. We'll give you a straight assessment, not a one-size pitch.
What happens if the server fails?
That's what redundancy and backups are for. We mirror drives so a single failure doesn't stop you, and keep both on-site and off-site backups so even a serious problem is recoverable.
Can a server and the cloud work together?
Yes — hybrid setups are common and often ideal. You get the speed of local storage with the off-site safety of the cloud. We design the two to complement each other.
Do you look after it once it's in?
We do. Servers need updates, monitoring and the occasional check-up — we keep yours healthy, and you've always got a local number to call.
