PPR Solutions Infrastructure Refresh

Following an Infrastructure Health Check the client and PPR Solutions are then in a position to address these recommendations - updating and modernise the IT Infrastructure across the following Infrastructure components:

Server Refresh: Your server is the key to your IT infrastructure and to the day to day operation of your business. If you’re server is not performing as it should , it may be under performing and reducing the productivity of staff or may even cause a significant risk of lost data

Desktop / Laptop Refresh: Are you operating with end-of-life desktop / laptop hardware and software? Is your hardware / software patched with the latest security vulnerability protection patches? Do you need to improve ease of use, functionality and user experience through enhanced software, configuration, flexibility and reliability of your desktops and laptops? All of these are issues PPR can resolve for you.

Network Refresh: The Network is the "veins" of your IT Infrastructure. Are you sure all traffic on your network is productive traffic? Are there critical bottle necks effecting the operation, reliability and security of your network? Are you sure your network is keeping the "good in" and the "bad out"? PPR has the experience to assist in understanding these questions and getting the issues resolved.

Security Refresh: Implementation of a security solution tailored to your exact requirements will protect your network, your sensitive data and your users. Essential in this day and age when the Internet and e-mail can open up your network to hackers and unauthorised users.

Storage Refresh: A tailored solution for storing and backing up sensitive business data - this service looks at ensuring valuable company data is stored, secured and backed up correctly. The following questions are also addressed as part of a Storage Refresh:

• Can data be restored from an existing back-up?
• When did you last backup this data?
• How much would it cost you as a business if your server crashed and was down for a day?
• How much would it cost your business if your server crashed and you lost the data stored on it?
