Standard Platform Enterprise & Standard Platform SME

Standard Platform is a fully automated, 'ruthlessly standardised' IT solution for small to medium-sized businesses. It enables you to enjoy all the benefits of an enterprise-scale IT infrastructure, but without the expense.

Economy

Reduce the delivery cost of applications, and eliminate the need for highly specialised support staff. Our all-inclusive packages are based on a transparent, easily affordable monthly subscription, which means service levels are always within your control.

Reliability

Unlike Microsoft Small Business Server, which is limited to one server and offers no resilience in the event of hardware failure, Standard Platform can be scaled across multiple servers, while its 'ruthlessly standardised' build technology means that all components work together seamlessly to deliver total reliability and 24/7/365 uptime.

Flexibility and scalability

Begin with a single-user hosted service and add up to 1,000+ users. New users can be added with ease and their new computers can be built and deployed in less than an hour.
Access your email, files and offline folders from anywhere in the world with a secure virtual private network (VPN).
We can tailor roaming solutions for 20 people through to organisations of 1,000+. Standard Platform is highly scalable, enabling you to add new users, servers or complete offices to support multiple national or international operations.

Wireless connectivity

Move your people around without having to move their machines. Our build technology will deliver their applications to them wherever they are, and on any computer. Quickly and easily alter office layouts and change rooms or floors without worrying about cables.

Remote and home working

Work remotely on your laptop or desktop from home.
Standard Platform's secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) enables you to log-on to your office computer from any location and from any web browser. Access your email and offline files on your home PC or laptop by connecting to the office via the Internet. And you can continue to access your office files on your laptop even if you're not connected to the office network.

Security

Although centrally managed, Standard Platform servers remain on-site, giving you peace of mind that your intellectual assets - documents, emails, etc - are exclusively within your control.
Standard Platform servers come with pre-installed anti-virus software which is configured to automatically update whenever a new version is available, and includes the latest security updates, patches, etc.

Contingency planning and disaster recovery

Every Standard Platform has a tape backup facility that automatically saves an up to date copy of your data. In the event of an emergency, such as a fire or flood, your data can be restored from any location. We create a backup schedule appropriate to your business as part of the installation process.
Standard Platform's unique reproducibility enables your infrastructure to be completely re-created from off-site backup tapes in the minimum possible time.

Monitoring

We fix problems with your system even before you know they exist. We provide continuous monitoring of your infrastructure. Potential problems, such as lack of disk space or backup failures, can be fixed before they cause business disruption.

Resilience and fault tolerance

Standard Platform architecture maximises fault tolerance and system resilience. Critical services are distributed between multiple servers to minimise the impact of a server failure.
Users that perform the same business function are distributed between servers so that a server failure does not prevent an entire business unit or department from working.

Block inappropriate content from employees' internet use

Studies reveal that typically office workers do less than four hours of constructive work each day, costing the UK economy £140 billion annually! We'll work with you to maximise productivity by restricting selected employee access to social networking, auction and music sites, while creating secure office and home-working environments.

Total support

Remote management and support is available at any time from our helpdesk. If we can't fix your problem remotely our engineers will visit your site within a pre-agreed time..
We tailor a service level package to provide comprehensive on-site support and maintenance, leaving your IT staff free to focus on front-office business.
