Services

We look after the everyday technology a business runs on: workstations, laptops, servers, printers, email, file storage and the network underneath all of it. Whether that means a monthly support arrangement or a once-off rebuild, the scope is agreed up front.

Because we also install the cameras, the access control and the WiFi, there is never a debate about which supplier owns the fault.

• Desktop, laptop and server support
• Network design and cabling
• Email, file storage and cloud migration
• Hardware supply and setup
• Backup and disaster recovery
• Ongoing maintenance agreements

From a single gate motor at a house to a multi-door site with biometric readers and time-based permissions, access control is about removing keys from the equation and knowing who was on site.

We install the readers, run the cabling, configure the rules and show your staff how to add and remove people themselves.

• Biometric and card readers
• Intercoms and video entry
• Gate and boom automation
• Door controllers and maglocks
• Time and attendance reporting
• Visitor and contractor access

A camera pointed at the wrong angle is an expensive ornament. We plan coverage around the way your site is used — entrances, tills, stockrooms, perimeters — then specify cameras that can handle the lighting they'll face.

Footage is stored on site with remote viewing from a phone or laptop, and we set retention so the recordings you need are still there when you go looking.

• IP and analogue CCTV installation
• Coverage and lighting planning
• Network and standalone recorders
• Remote viewing on mobile
• Licence plate and perimeter cameras
• Upgrades to existing systems

Small businesses are targeted precisely because they're assumed to be unprotected. We put practical layers in place — a properly configured firewall, endpoint protection, patched software, tested backups and a password policy people can live with.

At the centre of it sits DN-Guard, our own layer 7 firewall, built in house and running in South African and UK data centres. We are also a certified Fortinet partner for enterprise firewalls, VPN and IPSEC tunnels, and supply Panda Security for endpoint protection.

We spend time with your staff too, because most incidents start with a convincing email rather than a clever exploit.

• DN-Guard layer 7 DNS firewall
• Fortinet firewalls, VPN and IPSEC tunnels
• Panda endpoint and antivirus protection
• Backup strategy and restore testing
• Email filtering and phishing protection
• Staff awareness guidance

Consumer routers were never designed to cover a warehouse or a school block. We survey the site, look at building materials and interference, then place access points that hand devices over cleanly as people move around.

Guest networks stay separate from your business network, and the whole thing is managed from one place.

• Wireless site surveys
• Access point supply and installation
• Mesh and point-to-point links
• Guest and staff network separation
• Fibre and LTE failover
• Coverage troubleshooting

Parking control is access control with a vehicle attached. We supply and install booms, ticketing and licence plate recognition so that entry is automatic for the people who belong there and deliberate for everyone else.

Systems can be tied into your existing access database, so one record governs both the door and the boom.

• Boom gates and barriers
• Ticketing and pay stations
• Licence plate recognition
• Tag and remote-based entry
• Visitor parking management
• Integration with access control

When the network is down or the site is large, radios are still the fastest way for staff to reach each other. We supply handsets, programme the channels, sort out the licensing and keep spare batteries and chargers on hand.

We also supply the smaller pieces that tend to get forgotten: housings, mounts, power supplies, UPS units and cabling.

• Two-way radio supply and programming
• Repeaters and base stations
• Licensing assistance
• Batteries, chargers and accessories
• UPS and power backup
• Servicing and replacements

Connectivity is the first thing everything else depends on. We look at what is actually available at your address, what your usage really is, and what happens on the day the primary line goes down.

Solutions are tailored per site rather than sold off a rate card, and we handle the ISP relationship so you are not stuck between two suppliers when something breaks.

• Fibre optic
• Licensed microwave
• LTE and DSL
• Satellite
• SD-WAN
• Business network security

We supply and configure VoIP handsets and hosted PBX so your numbers follow your people rather than your desks, including staff working from home.

For meeting rooms we install Yealink and Grandstream conferencing equipment, set up so that joining a call does not need a technician in the room.

• Voice over IP (VOIP)
• Hosted PBX (VBX)
• Yealink conferencing equipment
• Grandstream devices
• Desk and softphone setup
• Work-from-home extensions

We offer data backup with protection — antivirus, malware protection, patch management and cloud backup — administered from a single console as an IronTree authorised reseller.

Disaster recovery goes a step further. If a disruption takes your site out, your data and systems are spun up in a managed cloud recovery site and recovered back to your own hardware afterwards, keeping a typical workload to roughly a fifteen-minute delay.

• Ransomware protection
• Patch management
• Local and offsite backup
• Cloud backup console
• Managed cloud recovery site
• Restore testing

Not every organisation is ready to move everything to the cloud, and not everything should. We host desktop applications on virtual private servers where that is the better fit, and move you to Microsoft 365 where it is not.

As a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider we handle the licensing, the migration and the support afterwards.

• Microsoft 365 licensing and migration
• Hosted and virtual Exchange services
• Server hosting configured to your needs
• Remote desktop licensing
• Work-from-home solutions
• Fully managed service

Our team handles development, design, deployment and implementation of both new and modified software products, as well as ongoing business projects.

That covers websites and hosting through to custom applications — DN-Guard itself came out of this side of the business.

• Website design and hosting
• Custom web applications
• Mobile and app development
• System integrations
• Ongoing maintenance
• Domain and email hosting
