Old servers in a closet are expensive to keep running and stressful when they start to fail. Moving to modern systems, whether in the cloud or on newer equipment in your office, can make your business faster, safer and easier to manage.
We plan, build and manage that move for you, and we choose what makes sense for your budget, not what's trendy.
What's included
- Windows and Linux servers on reliable, modern platforms, on-site or in the cloud
- Systems built so one failed machine does not take your business down
- Moves from aging or costly systems with as little downtime as possible
- Cloud email, file sharing and business apps set up and managed
- Secure file sharing with clients and outside partners
- Care of the machines that run your servers: updates, health checks, storage and performance
- Secure remote access, so your team can work from anywhere
- Planning that fits your budget, including what to keep on-site
How it works
We look at what you run today, what it costs and where the risks are. Then we recommend a plan: cloud, on-site, or a mix of both. We handle the move after hours when we can, test everything, and keep managing the new systems afterward so they stay updated and backed up.
Who it's for
Businesses with an aging server, rising software costs, or a team that needs to work from more than one place. It's also a good fit if your office has outgrown the setup it started with.
Why Unite
We're not tied to one vendor, so our advice is based on what's right for your business. We've built and managed both cloud and on-site systems for years, and we'll tell you honestly where each one makes sense. After the move, the same team that built your systems keeps them running.
Frequently asked questions
What is virtualization?
It lets one powerful machine run several separate servers at once. You buy less equipment, use less power, and it's much easier to back up and recover.
Should everything move to the cloud?
Not always. Some things work better and cost less on-site. We'll give you an honest recommendation for each part of your setup.
Will we lose work time during the move?
We plan moves to keep downtime to a minimum, usually doing the switch after hours or over a weekend.
Who manages it after the move?
We do. Updates, monitoring and backups continue as part of our service.
Is the cloud secure?
It can be very secure when it's set up correctly. Most cloud problems come from weak passwords and loose settings, which we lock down as part of every setup.
