24/7 Monitoring

We watch over your systems day and night

We don't wait for something to break: we see it coming. We keep an eye on your equipment and your network around the clock, so we spot problems and fix them before you ever notice a thing.

What we do

We find out before anyone else does

Almost no failure comes out of nowhere. There's usually a warning: a disk that starts throwing errors days before it dies, a machine that gradually gets overloaded, a connection with tiny dropouts before it goes down for good.

We're watching for those warning signs. We run a system that checks your equipment and your network every few minutes, and the moment something looks off, it alerts us straight away, whatever the hour. By the time anyone on your team would notice something odd, we're already on it.

On top of that, we send you clear reports every so often: what's been running well, what needs renewing, and where you're falling short. That way you decide based on real data, not guesswork.

We watch your equipment and softwareWe check that your computers, servers and the programs you work with are up and running, with plenty of space and memory to spare.
We watch your internet and your networkIf your connection slows down or a piece of network kit starts to fail, we see it before it leaves you stranded.
Alerts only when it mattersYou get a message (email, mobile, or whichever channel you prefer) only when something genuinely needs attention, no noise.
We catch odd behaviour earlyIf a machine starts acting strangely (a sign of a possible virus or attack), we catch it early and act on it.
We tell you in plain, clear reportsA regular summary of how things are going, easy to read, so you know what's working well and what could do with improving.
Things we caught in time

Problems we put out before they caught fire

"The server's disk filled up in the middle of the night"

The situation

At 2am, a backup got stuck and started filling up the disk where all the files live. With nobody watching, nobody would have been able to save anything come morning.

What we did

The alert fired the moment it hit the limit. Our on-call technician logged in, cleared out what wasn't needed and freed up space without stopping anything. When the office opened in the morning, everything was running like clockwork.

Nobody even knew. Sorted before the working day began.

"A computer was quietly sending data outside the network"

The situation

We spotted an office computer sending information to an unknown address abroad, little by little and outside office hours. A bad sign.

What we did

We isolated that machine from the network straight away, looked into what was going on and found a virus stealing data. We removed it, checked what might have got out, and protected the rest of the network.

Threat cut off before it could do any real damage.

"The management software suddenly went painfully slow"

The situation

The server holding the database for the management software started to choke. Everything took three times as long and people noticed, but nobody knew why.

What we did

The overload alert came through on its own. We found a scheduled task that had become hugely demanding given the year's data volume. We tuned it and speeds went back to normal.

Diagnosed and fixed in 25 minutes, without you having to lift a finger.

"The website's security padlock was about to expire"

The situation

When a website's security certificate expires, the browser warns visitors that "the site isn't secure". That scares customers off and hurts your ranking on Google.

What we did

We keep track of when each website's certificate is due to expire. We flag it a month out, then at two weeks and one week, and renew it well before the deadline.

Not a single expired certificate in 3 years of watching over our clients.
