Network Services

In today's competitive world, solid IT platforms are needed to give your business the edge over the competition. As senior management demand higher productivity, more efficiency and of course cost reductions, the demands on the IT department have never been higher. SolarTec recognise this and work with our clients in a partnership to help meet these demands and give you the knowledge and peace of mind that both strategy and day to day needs are being fulfilled.

With a support centre based in Bristol, SolarTec offers a range of services to clients large and small, whether attending to urgent adhoc requests or working with you to plan future projects and implementations. Our team of dedicated IT professionals have a wealth of expertise in a broad range of disciplines. You may find our holistic approach both refreshing and innovative alongside a pedigree of 20 years helping clients with voice and data solutions.

Backup and Disaster Recovery

80% of companies that experience a disaster or data loss will close within 12 months. Backup has always been a critical process for the IT manager and is now even harder with regulatory compliance creating more demands on storage. Until now, tape media storage has been sufficient, but as data grows, the nightly back up is spilling onto two or more tapes, resulting in more downtime. Factor in pan-European workers, and this tried and tested method for securing data is simply unrealistic.

SolarTec have partnered with a number of blue-chip online backup providers to help us give you the best solution for your business. An on-line backup can work in the background, or nightly, ensuring your information is securely stored off site. Most importantly, backups are easily available to you should you experience data loss or a disaster. Utilising your existing internet access, there is no need for additional hardware - an online system can be deployed very quickly, giving you complete peace of mind.

SolarTec have the experience and knowledge to look at your current setup and will make recommendations for getting the best value from our proposals - we want to ensure you are backing up the right information at the right time.

Mobile Solutions

Technology has empowered us as colleagues and customers to achieve so much more from our working day. People can remain connected yet work remotely, collaborating and sharing ideas and knowledge. Mobility can also be a burden to some, as they work isolated and insular, without all of the tools they need to achieve, creating management headaches rather than solutions.

Solar have a range of solutions to suit those companies looking to create or improve mobility within their work place. From 3G PDA's to complete IP telephony with web based document management, our solutions can be designed to suit your timescales and budgets.

Although much of the technology we use is available on the high street, SolarTec have the skill and resource to provide the 'glue' which brings a solutions together, ensuring ease of use, reliability and high-level security.
