Hardware infrastructure supplied and managed by AtWorkStudio: servers, network and edge computing

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.

The problem

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.

Design

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.

Supply

We invoice the hardware and deliver it configured: hardening, segmentation, policies, integration with what you have, following ISO/IEC 27001 controls.

Monitoring

Continuous, automatic health checks: CPU, memory, disks, temperatures, power supplies, RAID, firmware. Proactive alerts, intervention before the outage.

Renewal

End of support for firmware and operating systems, warranties, disks reaching end of life: we keep the replacement calendar. No surprises.

What we supply and manage

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.

Server virtualisation →

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.

Backup and Disaster Recovery →

Managed switches and Wi-Fi

Managed Layer 2/3 switches, VLANs, PoE for telephony, cameras and access points, Wi-Fi designed from a coverage survey. Controller hosted in our European cloud: automatic backups, scheduled updates, monitoring, no server to maintain on site. For customers with a management contract, controller hosting is included.

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.

Firewall and network security →

Edge computing

Servers and appliances that process data where it is generated: industrial automation, IoT, video surveillance, business continuity even without connectivity to the cloud. Integrated with the central infrastructure and with off-site backup.

Lifecycle and end of support

Asset inventory with an end-of-support date for every component, as the Cyber Resilience Act requires. Warranty management, planned replacement, certified data erasure and WEEE-compliant disposal at end of life.
The difference

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.

Independent

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.

Managed lifecycle

From supply to decommissioning: firmware updates, tracked end-of-support dates, planned replacement, warranties, WEEE-compliant disposal.

Compliance included

Every component is tracked, documented and managed by a company certified ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, 27018 and ISO 9001. Ready for NIS2 audits.

Cloud integration

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.

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.
