Servers for Schools
Should our school have on-site servers?
It depends on your infrastructure strategy. We can design a hybrid or cloud-first environment — servers are specified to be secure, resilient and aligned to DfE storage standards if used.
Do you support backups and disaster recovery?
Yes — cloud backup options and disaster recovery planning are available as part of our services.
Are on-site servers still required in schools?
Not always. Many schools benefit from cloud or hybrid models — we help assess the best approach based on curriculum and data needs.
How do you secure school servers?
We implement firewalls, access controls, patching and monitoring aligned with DfE cyber security standards.
Can you replace ageing server infrastructure?
Yes. We design and install modern server solutions or migrate services to the cloud where appropriate.
