In short

Defy IT’s cloud and server support covers setup, monitoring, updates and performance tuning for cloud, on-premise and hybrid servers. It suits businesses that depend on a server, or are thinking about moving to the cloud, and want a local team to manage it.

Server management

Cloud, on-premise or both.

What we defy

One-size-fits-all server advice.

Where your systems run should depend on your business, not a trend.

Talk through your options
  1. “Move everything to the cloud” — the norm we reject.The right balance of cloud and local for how you work.
  2. Cloud or on-premise — pick one — the norm we reject.Hybrid environments, integrated and managed as one.
  3. Running an old server until it dies — the norm we reject.Planned replacement with minimal downtime.
  4. Servers only checked when they fail — the norm we reject.Monitoring, updates and maintenance as routine.
  5. Hardware you have to buy and babysit — the norm we reject.Your server hosted in Azure or AWS instead.
  6. Office-bound applications — the norm we reject.Secure remote access to your apps from anywhere.

The right balance

Not everything belongs in the cloud.

Some legacy applications and heavy design files run better — or cost less — on a local server. We help you find the right mix.

  • Microsoft 365 for email & files
  • Local servers for heavy apps
  • Hosted in Azure or AWS
  • Terminal servers & RDS
Replacing an old server

The whole lifecycle, handled.
