Infrastructure — servers, storage and networks

A server is not bought from a catalogue, but depending on the operation. We design and supply servers, disk arrays, network switches and WiFi — from a single server to highly available clusters. We are not tied to a single manufacturer: we choose technologies according to the task and the budget, and we say openly what the manufacturer decides and what you decide.

We supply hardware as part of the whole — with virtualisation, backup and monitoring from the same division.

What we supply

Supply and implementation of servers, disk arrays, network switches and WiFi. We work with established enterprise hardware brands and design solutions according to the real needs of the operation — from a single server to highly available clusters.

Hardware does not end with delivery: we can also operate the infrastructure we deploy — with monitoring and technical support under a P1–P4 priority model.

Servers and computing power

A single server for the office as well as a highly available cluster for critical applications. We put the configuration together according to what will actually run on the server — not according to a catalogue offering.

Disk arrays and backup

Where the data will sit and how quickly it will be back after a failure. We design the capacity, the performance and the backup scheme — including copies outside the main storage.

Dell · HPE · Huawei · Veeam

Networks, WiFi and firewalls

Switches, WiFi for the whole building and a firewall at the network boundary. We deal with the network together with the server — otherwise the bottleneck just moves one layer down.

The brands we supply — and who decides on them

We are not tied to a single manufacturer. We choose the brand according to the task and the budget, and we say openly what the manufacturer decides and what you decide. Each row also states who tends to be our partner in the decision — because engineering and procurement need different supporting material.

Partnerships and certifications

A partner level is not a badge for the wall. It determines the price, the availability of spare parts and how quickly we can reach the manufacturer's support when a customer's operation is down. That is why we hold them where we actually deliver: Dell Technologies Platinum Partner, Proxmox Authorized Reseller and Training Partner, Cisco Partner a Silverfort Silver Partner.

Experience in this area

We supply servers, disk arrays and networks into environments where an outage is not an inconvenience but a problem for the whole institution. Four projects from our references — the full text of each of them is on the References page:

Public sector · State Housing Development Fund

Servers, switches and backup in a single delivery

A cluster, replacement of the network switches with high-throughput ones and a backup system with copies to both a disk array and a tape library — supplied and deployed as a single whole.

Frequently asked questions

Are you tied to a single manufacturer?
No. We work with established enterprise hardware brands — Dell and HPE for servers, Dell, HPE and Huawei for storage, Cisco, Aruba, Fortinet and Huawei for networks — and we choose the technology according to the task and the budget. We will say openly what the manufacturer decides and what you decide.
Will you supply hardware only, without services?
Yes, but a server is not bought from a catalogue, it is bought for the operation. That is why we supply hardware as part of a whole: with virtualisation, backup and monitoring from the same division.
Is it worth adding to the existing servers or buying new ones?
What decides it is the age and warranty of the existing equipment, planned growth and whether the current platform can carry further virtualisation. An assessment of the current state is therefore part of the configuration design.
Do you look after the infrastructure after delivery as well?
Yes. We can operate the deployed infrastructure with monitoring and technical support under a P1–P4 priority model; the scope and response times are agreed in the service contract.
Who on our side is usually the partner during the selection?
Usually procurement together with the IT admin — for backup, the backup admin as well. In the proposal we therefore separate technical decisions from procurement ones, so that each side sees what concerns them.
What partnerships do you have with manufacturers?
We are a Dell Technologies Platinum Partner, a Proxmox Authorized Reseller and Training Partner, a Cisco Partner and a Silverfort Silver Partner; we also work with HPE, Huawei, Fortinet, IBM and Red Hat. The partner level determines the price, the availability of spare parts and how quickly we can reach the manufacturer's support — which is why we hold them where we actually deliver.
