The scope of our IT consultancy services includes upgrading and supporting existing systems as well deploying new infrastructures from scratch. We specialise in Microsoft windows 2000 and NT4 server solutions integrating Exchange 2000 server as an e-mail and groupware solutions. Services include server configuration, workstation support and configuration of perferal devices

Utilising proprietary products we deliver cost effective technology solutions tailored to individual client needs.

The successful integration of computer systems is a prerequisite of an effective modern business.

Our professional IT consultants will discuss in depth your specific business objectives, evaluate your current systems and develop a solution that delivers real value to your organisation.

Academy Networks is purely a computer consultancy and is not a reseller. We have no interest in recommending one brand over another. The products we put forward are selected purely on the basis of their functionality, stability and proven reliability.

We do not replace products unless it is necessary and will utilise existing resources where possible. Where new hardware and software are required we use our extensive market knowledge and relationships we ensure that products are purchased at the lowest possible prices.

A well designed system is only effective if it is deployed correctly.

Academy offers the expertise to systematically plan, install, configure and test all aspects of hardware and software to ensure the system is fully functioning.

We will endeavor to maintain the functionality of legacy computer systems to ensure disruption, if any, is kept to a minimum. Normally the final commissioning will take place over a weekend.

All existing data will be migrated to the new system

Forming the core of most commercial networks, the performance and reliability of the servers is fundamental in providing an efficient solution.

When evaluating existing systems and proposing new hardware we endeavor to specify failover protection where possible by utilising RAID disks systems and redundant power supplies. Academy have found that deploying well specified servers at the outset offers significant benefits as the cost of upgrading older equipment tends to be relatively expensive.

From experience we recommend using the Microsoft Windows 2000 and NT4 server operating systems as they offers a reliable, mature, well supported platforms that are compatible most proprietary applications. Windows 2000, the successor to NT4, incorporates Active Directory which streamlines the management of user and computers and comes as standard with Terminal Services for remote administration.

Academy offer the expertise to deploy single or multi-server environments to host all the e-mail, file, print, web and database services that your organisation may require.
