Cloud IT Services
We supply the hardware.
And we manage it.
Servers, storage, switches, Wi-Fi, site gateways and edge computing: not a catalogue, but components of an architecture we design, configure, monitor and renew over time. A service delivered by a company certified ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, 27018 and ISO 9001.
Buying hardware does not mean
having an infrastructure
A server bought online, a gateway left on factory settings, a switch with no segmentation: hardware without governance is a vulnerability, not an investment. Without monitoring, patching and a renewal calendar, hardware becomes the weak point of the whole infrastructure.
From September 2026 the European Cyber Resilience Act requires manufacturers to report vulnerabilities and, from December 2027, to provide security updates for the whole declared support period: whoever buys hardware today needs to know until when it will be updated. We write it into the design, component by component.
Requirements, architecture, the right hardware for the job. No lock-in with a manufacturer: the right technology for the problem, even when it is the one you already own.
We invoice the hardware and deliver it configured: hardening, segmentation, policies, integration with what you have, following ISO/IEC 27001 controls.
Continuous, automatic health checks: CPU, memory, disks, temperatures, power supplies, RAID, firmware. Proactive alerts, intervention before the outage.
End of support for firmware and operating systems, warranties, disks reaching end of life: we keep the replacement calendar. No surprises.
Infrastructure hardware
as a managed service
Servers and virtualisation
Rack and tower servers for the site and for the edge. Sizing, installation, operating system, virtualisation platform, high availability and continuous monitoring. Hardware support with response times defined in the contract.
Storage and backup
Enterprise NAS, SAN, hyperconverged storage. RAID configuration, local and cloud replication, retention policies, immutable copies against ransomware. Integration with our managed backup platform.
Managed switches and Wi-Fi
Site gateways
The device that connects the site to the cloud firewall, in a high-availability pair where the business cannot stop. Configuration saved in the cloud and restorable on a spare, firmware kept up to date, centralised logs.
Edge computing
Lifecycle and end of support
Why managed hardware
instead of purchased hardware
Purchased hardware is an upfront cost that becomes a problem over time: outdated firmware, no monitoring, reactive replacement. Managed hardware is a continuous service that keeps the infrastructure secure, compliant and running.
We work in four ways: full service, from design to day-to-day management; architecture and design only, which your internal IT then implements; consulting only, for decisions, audits and tender specifications; or management only of the hardware you already have, whatever the brand. A company with one site and one with fifty have the same question: who keeps the devices in order every day.
No lock-in with a single manufacturer. We choose the best hardware for the project, not the one with the highest margin, and we also manage what you already own.
From supply to decommissioning: firmware updates, tracked end-of-support dates, planned replacement, warranties, WEEE-compliant disposal.
Every component is tracked, documented and managed by a company certified ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, 27018 and ISO 9001. Ready for NIS2 audits.
On-premises hardware is one of the four options for your data and integrates with the other three: backup, replication, monitoring and central management from the cloud.
Frequently asked questions about managed hardware
The questions we hear before renewing servers, networks or site devices.
Buying hardware means purchasing a product and looking after it yourself: firmware updates, monitoring, replacement on failure, documentation for audits. With managed hardware we design the architecture, supply and invoice the hardware ourselves, deliver it configured, monitor it continuously and automatically, and plan its renewal before it becomes a problem. The hardware is a component of the service, not a product off the shelf.
The Cyber Resilience Act is the European regulation on the security of products with digital elements, which includes servers, switches, access points, gateways and cameras. From 11 September 2026 manufacturers must report actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents; from 11 December 2027 they must guarantee security updates for the whole declared support period and design products securely from the start. For buyers it means one simple thing: every device has an end-of-support date that must be known before purchase and planned for afterwards. In our designs that date is written next to every component, and we keep the renewal calendar.
Edge computing brings computing capacity close to where data is generated, outside the central data centre. It is needed when latency is critical (industrial automation, IoT, video surveillance), when data cannot leave the site for regulatory reasons, or when operations must continue even without connectivity to the cloud. It is the fourth of the options we offer for your data, the on-premises one, and it integrates with the other three.
We are independent of any manufacturer and choose hardware based on the project, not on margin. For site networks our reference is Ubiquiti UniFi, of which we are an Enterprise partner, with the controller hosted in our European cloud; for servers and storage we work with the main enterprise manufacturers through authorised distributors; for virtualisation with VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix, Proxmox and Acronis. We name them here and not in the rest of the page because the choice starts from your requirements: if a constraint calls for a different manufacturer, we integrate and manage it through our partners.
Yes. We are certified ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, 27018 and ISO 9001, and every infrastructure we design and manage is aligned with those controls and with the requirements of the NIS2 Directive: asset inventory, patching, monitoring, hardening, centralised logs and audit documentation. On request we also support the TISAX compliance path for the automotive supply chain: we are not TISAX certified, and we say so plainly.
Yes. We design and manage complete site networks, access points, switches and gateways, and we host the controller in our European cloud, on infrastructure managed under ISO/IEC 27001: automatic backups, scheduled updates, monitoring and secure access, with no appliance or server to maintain on site. For customers with a management contract, controller hosting is included in the service.
We move the main firewall to the cloud, where it filters traffic for every site and every mobile user; on site we install gateways, in a high-availability pair where the business cannot stop, which connect to the cloud firewall over an encrypted link. This page covers the device; the perimeter architecture, from segmentation to Zero Trust, is described on the dedicated firewall and network security page.
We continuously and automatically monitor the health of every component: CPU, memory, disks, temperatures, power supplies, RAID status, firmware version. Alerts are proactive and reach our team before a degradation becomes an outage. Monitoring is integrated into our central management platform, with logs and periodic reporting for governance; response times are those defined in the contract, not generic promises.

Is your hardware infrastructure managed or abandoned?
We analyse your current infrastructure: servers, storage, switches, Wi-Fi, gateways. We show you what works, what is reaching end of support and what is missing to be secure and compliant.
