Technology & Managed IT Services

At Alliant, we focus on providing appropriate IT solutions to add value to your business whilst ensuring it is reliable and secure.

We understand that the IT infrastructure of a business is at the core of your efficiency so we take the time to understand your exact requirements and tailor a solution around that.

The Alliant team has years of experience and industry recognised accreditations to ensure the right solution is implemented at the highest level.

Uncertainties such as cyberattacks, data corruption and natural disasters are damaging and sometimes fatal to your business.

Our future proof data backup solutions guarantee your vital data is always available and protected no matter what. We tailor to your unique data management needs and provide you with private cloud migration and storage services. They are not a substitute for a DR (Disaster Recovery) Plan.

Reliable Backup – Seamlessly backup and access your data anytime and anywhere knowing that it will always be there

Effortless Recovery – Your files will be restored with lightning fast speeds to minimize recovery time.

Remote Storage – Data is secured in our off-site private cloud. Access and restore at any time from anywhere.

Proactive Security – Vigilant 24×7 infrastructure and data monitoring allow us to engage in preventive measures against any disaster or malicious activity that may threaten your business.

A DR Plan should be a part of every business’ strategy; to determine the maximum amount of time it can be without its IT systems if disaster was to strike.

You need a DR plan, overseen by experienced professionals to ensure a faster recovery time, thereby reducing the negative impact on your business.

We, at Alliant Advisory, provide comprehensive disaster recovery solutions. We deliver cloud-based backup services that:

• Automatically create an image of network at a pre-set interval (e.g. every five minutes, every hour)
• Automatically backs-up all the data stored on your network

All backup information is stored in the cloud where it can be accessed from anywhere in the event of disaster. That means:

• Can have a functioning network available within minutes of an outage
• Can run business from a temporary location and have access to all your programs and files
• We can recreate a network in a fraction of the time it would take to rebuild it from scratch

Let Alliant Advisory prepare your business to survive network disasters. We assist more about disaster recovery and for a full recommendation report tailored to customer business’ needs.

When machines are limited to a single use, network operations and network expansion become cost-prohibitive. Modern businesses can reduce costs and allow their networks to grow to accommodate increasing demands through virtualization.

Virtualization delivers the benefits of reduced costs for network expansion and network management. Plus, since most virtual machines can be moved to the cloud, you get the benefit of redundancy and reliable accessibility to your network environments and data.

Types of Virtualization We Handle

There are several ways virtualization may be implemented in a network environment, and Alliant Advisory handles them all:

• Server virtualization
• Desktop virtualization
• Virtual private networks (VPNs)

We have an in-depth understanding of virtualization technology that allows us to expand your network capacity and streamline network maintenance.
