Backup and Business Continuity
Hot Backup
Keep your business running – even when your servers aren’t.
With Hot Backup, your data lives on your local server for day-to-day operations, and is securely backed up each night to our Auckland data centre. If your server goes down, we can get you up and running fast with a cloud-hosted recovery – minimising downtime and disruption.
Critical Backup
The files that matter, protected every hour.
Our Critical Backup service sends your key data off-site every hour. That means in the worst-case scenario – a power cut, hardware fault, or system failure – you’ll never lose more than an hour’s work.
Need to relocate or upgrade? You can switch to your off-site backup and keep working with minimal interruption.
Individual Backup
Laptop or home office – your data is safe and local.
If your laptop is lost, stolen, or damaged, how long will it take to get your files back?
With our Individual Backup service, your data is stored in our local data centre – not overseas. That means fast recovery, and if needed, you can even come in and collect it on a drive. We’ll load it onto your new device while you wait.
Private Storage
Private Storage
Smart file access for small teams on the move.
Private Storage is ideal for small operations that don’t need a full server – just a simple, secure way to access files from anywhere. Whether you’re working from home, in a client’s office, or in a flexi-space with no IT support, it keeps things running smoothly.
Personal Cloud Drive
Your files. Always available. Never offshore.
With Personal Cloud Drive, your documents follow you – at home, at the office, or on the road. Work online or offline. As soon as you’re connected, your files sync and back up automatically.
It works just like Dropbox or iCloud, but with one important difference: your data is stored locally, right here in our Auckland data centre.
Small Office Cloud Server
A lightweight server alternative – with full backup and remote access.
For teams who don’t need a full server setup but still want shared file access, printing, and remote access, this is the sweet spot.
We install a compact device in your office that syncs with a matching unit in our data centre. You get all the core functionality you need – and if disaster strikes or the office becomes unavailable, you can access your data remotely or collect it directly from us.
Additional Cloud Services
Cloud+
The best of both worlds – cloud and on-site, working together.
For many businesses, a blended IT setup works best. Cloud+ brings together the benefits of the cloud with the convenience of local IT support – all managed by one team that knows your environment inside and out.
Cloud+ IT Support
Seamless support across cloud and on-site systems.
With Cloud+ IT Support, some or all of your servers are hosted in our secure Auckland data centre – while we continue to support the equipment you keep on site. You get one engineer for everything, whether it’s remote or in person.
That means consistent, personalised service from someone who knows your systems, your setup, and your business.
We provide full helpdesk support, onsite callouts, server maintenance, and whatever else you need to keep things running smoothly – both in the cloud and in your office.
Cloud+ Office
Your backup office – ready in four hours.
If your office is hit by a disaster, Cloud+ Office gives you a ready-to-go workspace for up to 12 people. It’s fully equipped with PCs that mirror your normal setup, so your team can get back to work quickly.
With just half a day’s notice, we can have everything online in our dedicated recovery space – minimising downtime and keeping your business moving.
Cloud Hosting
Cloud Hosting
Resilient. Flexible. Secure.
Cloud Hosting gives you all the benefits of modern IT – without the overhead of managing your own hardware. Your systems run on our infrastructure, in our Auckland data centre, with full support from our team.
You stay focused on your business. We’ll take care of the rest.
Virtual Server Room
Run your business from the cloud – securely and reliably.
Also known as IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), this option puts your servers in our data centre. You connect via PC, thin client, or tablet – and work just like you would from your own office.
We handle the backups, security, updates, and virus protection – so your systems stay healthy and your team stays productive.
Virtual Filing Cabinet
Archive data, always ready when you need it.
If you’ve moved on from old systems but still need occasional access to legacy data or applications, we can host it for you. Whether it’s a simple data archive or a full application server, it’s there when required – either always online or made available on request.
Perfect for compliance, reference, or peace of mind.
Virtual Web Server
Web hosting with flexibility – and no hardware to manage.
When traditional hosting doesn’t quite fit, our Virtual Web Server option gives you the control you need without the hassle of running your own server.
With the infrastructure handled, you can focus on what really matters – your website.
Short term Hosting
Short-Term Hosting
When disruption is planned – or unexpected – we’ve got you covered.
Sometimes you know your servers will be out of action – whether it’s renovations, a relocation, or delays with new hardware. Other times, an ageing server needs to stay alive just long enough to access legacy data. Or maybe you’ve acquired a business and only need their systems for the short term.
Whatever the reason, our short-term cloud options give you flexibility without the commitment. No contracts, no penalties – just the support you need for as long as you need it.
Temporary Server Home
Your hardware – safely hosted off-site.
If you want to keep using your existing server, we can host it securely in our Auckland data centre. You’ll still access it as normal – from your office, home, or wherever you’re working.
Just bring us the box. We’ll rack it, connect it, and set you up.
Temporary Data Home
Your server – replicated in the cloud.
If you’d rather leave the hardware behind, we can take an image of your server and run it from our infrastructure. You’ll get the same access as if it were still on-site, with the added benefit of cloud resilience.
Our team will come to you, take the image, and handle the setup – so you’re back online quickly, with zero hassle.
