Initial
Ensim Software Installation
Our highly experienced staff can
perform the initial installation & configuration of the Ensim control panel
onto your dedicated server so that it is then ready for you to use and gives
the peace of mind that the server is correctly set up. We perform the
installation on your server using our own high-speed repositories so as to
avoid any potential issues with Ensim's servers being busy at peak times and
so slowing down or causing time-out issues whilst downloading packages. This
enables us to perform an install & set up your server in as little as 10-15
minutes as opposed to over an hour for a normal installation.

Ensim
Version Upgrades
If you're running older version
of Ensim, we can upgrade this to the latest version if required. Depending
on your current version and what customisations have been performed, this
needs to be assessed and priced on a per-server basis. We offer free
estimates for this work, outlining what is required, what the implications
are and any costs involved.
Prices from: £20 + VAT
Ensim Monthly Server Management
With our monthly server
management service, we ensure that your server is kept up to date and
secure. We install all operating system updates and control panel updates
and hot fixes to ensure that your server runs smoothly and is as secure as
possible. We also perform regular security and performance auditing so that
issues can be rectified before an issue occurs, therefore leaving you to
concentrate on running your business and not managing the server.
Please note, this service
includes software updates for the control panel and operating system within
the same major version number, ie it would exclude an upgrade from Redhat 4
to Redhat 5 or an Ensim upgrade from v4 to v10 which is a major software
upgrade. This would be arranged separately with you as a one-off job.
We can also offer server uptime
monitoring as an additional part of this service. In the event that your
server stops responding for any reason, with our network operations staff
monitoring your server they can immediately respond to a failure
notification and then address the issue or liaise with your data centre on
your behalf to ensure that the server is back online as soon as possible,
thus minimising any downtime to your server. Please ask for specific details
and costing of this service.
Prices from: £30 + VAT per
month
Server
Migrations
Our staff are very experienced
with the migration of accounts between servers. Whether you're upgrading to
a newer, faster server or switching between control panels, our staff are
able to provide the services you require to ensure a smooth transition with
as little disruption to your clients as possible.
