SA1 provide tailored server solutions, specific to the needs of our customers.
SA1 understand that servers are an important part of any business. Whether your organisation needs physical on-site servers or hosted cloud, we have the experience and understanding to provide you with the server solution you require.
A server is a computer, a device or a programme that is dedicated to managing network resources.
More simply put, it is a computer designed to process requests and deliver data to another computer over a local network or through the internet. Some dedicated servers focus only on one functionality, while other types such as a file server can be used for multiple purposes. Most medium sized companies will run multiple types of servers on their network. These can include web servers, email servers, FTP servers print servers, virtual servers and many more!
Get in Touch about Server SolutionsAlthough cloud computing has taken a lot of the workload from servers, they still hold a key position in a network system.
They have many different functions and are an important part of your computer network. If you do not have the correct functionality you could be holding your business back. This is why is many companies choose to go down the route of outsourcing.

Don’t want the hassle of owning your own hardware? No problem we have our own data centre!
SA1 have our own fully functioning data centre here at our head office. We provided rented space, this can be a perfect option for small businesses who do not want the expensive cost of setting up their own environment.
SA1’s online cloud backup service is a fast, secure and automated system that enables an organisation to access their business data anytime and anywhere, via a secure internet connection to our data centres.
You simply log in through a using a web browser. Data loss can seriously affect an organisation in many ways and system downtime can cripple productivity, therefore it is critical that an organisation is prepared with the latest technology.
SA1’s backup manager uses a hybrid cloud architecture, allowing SA1 to restore business continuity after a disaster, our technology concentrates on reducing backup times by storing changes instead of full files. This allows the customer to back up files quickly and frequently, helping to reduce and prevent the chance of losing data. Our backup manager also uses strong encryption both in-transit and at rest, so you can be assured that additional security measures are in place to protect your data. By leveraging a hybrid cloud architecture our customers have the control and speed of an on-premise backup combined with the convenience and added redundancy of a cloud-based approach.
SA1 offers this option to any organisation, usually one server will sit with the customer and another will be positioned within SA1’s data centre.
This service for a monthly subscription will literally replicate your data every 5 minutes to the secondary server.
So, you may wonder what is the difference between replication and cloud backup?
Cloud backup will take a snap shot of your data at a specific time/date, (usually every 24hours) and will update any files that have been altered during that time period. In a disaster recovery situation cloud backup can be accessed via the internet but will need to be redownloaded to your new environment, this depending on how much data you have can take time. With replication our data will already be on a secondary device, all SA1 will need to do is either switch it on in our data centre for you to have full access or we can literally unplug that server from our centre and drive it to your location!
