RECOVER.

Focused services for small and medium-sized organisations, delivered with enterprise-grade discipline but without enterprise overhead. Recommendations follow the requirement, not a preferred vendor or licensing model.

SERVICE PRINCIPLES
  • 01 Secure and supportable by design
  • 02 Recovery objectives made explicit
  • 03 Clear ownership and documentation
  • 04 Controlled implementation and handover
WHAT WE DO

PRACTICAL IT.

AUVIK MSP PARTNERSHIPAuvik

SEE THE NETWORK.
CHOOSE HOW IT'S RUN.

Auvik brings your network into one clear view. It discovers supported devices, builds and updates the network map, watches device health and performance, raises useful alerts, and keeps configuration copies when supported by the device.

01

Network visibility

See switches, firewalls, access points and other supported devices in one place, with the information needed to understand what is connected.

02

Automatic mapping

Replace manually maintained diagrams with a map that is built from the network and updates as the environment changes.

03

Monitoring & alerts

Watch availability and performance, then surface important changes and problems through alerts that can be tuned to the environment.

04

Configuration backups

Keep automatic, versioned copies of supported network-device configurations so changes can be compared and a known configuration can be recovered.

OPTION 01 // MANAGED

Managed network monitoring

Paulioskos deploys and manages the Auvik monitoring service for you. We agree the devices and sites in scope, configure useful monitoring and alerts, and use the resulting visibility to support your network operations.

  • Discovery, collector setup and a living network map
  • Device-health and performance monitoring
  • Alert review and handling within the agreed service scope
  • Configuration-backup oversight for supported devices

OPTION 02 // CUSTOMER-MANAGED

Auvik referral & onboarding

For teams that want to operate Auvik themselves, Paulioskos can make the referral and help you plan, deploy and understand the platform. Your team retains day-to-day control of its own environment.

  • Requirements and device-readiness review
  • Referral and onboarding coordination
  • Collector deployment and initial discovery support
  • Map, alert and configuration-backup setup guidance
DISCUSS SELF-MANAGEMENT ↗

Clear scope, no hidden promise: monitoring does not mean a 24/7 staffed response. Service hours, alert handling and response arrangements are agreed in writing. Configuration backup depends on device support and access, and protects network-device settings rather than business data.

TECHNOLOGY ECOSYSTEM

THE RIGHT PLATFORM.
THE RIGHT OUTCOME.

Broad commercial and open-source platform experience lets recommendations follow the requirement. Except for the Auvik relationship expressly described above, these are technologies we work with, not claims of vendor partnership.

ENGINEERING IN PRACTICE

REPRESENTATIVE WORK.

Representative examples illustrate team experience and internal engineering capability without identifying third parties or exposing sensitive implementation detail.

01 // RESILIENCE

Resilient Engineering Environment

We designed and operate a segmented environment used to test infrastructure, networking, monitoring, automation and recovery before changes reach live systems.

Outcomes

  • Safer validation
  • Faster troubleshooting
  • Repeatable recovery testing
  • Reduced deployment risk
02 // RECOVERY

Backup and Recovery Engineering

We build and validate layered data protection covering local recovery, off-site protection, immutability, restore testing and operational documentation.

Outcomes

  • Clear recovery objectives
  • Verified restore processes
  • Improved resilience
  • Documented handover
03 // PLATFORMS

Secure Internal Business Platforms

We have developed self-hosted platforms for finance, documentation, monitoring and service operations around controlled access, maintainability and data ownership.

Outcomes

  • Central workflows
  • Less manual administration
  • Control of business data
  • Room for future growth
04 // OPERATIONS

Monitoring and Service Operations

We design operational tooling that consolidates service health, alerting and infrastructure visibility into a clearer, manageable experience.

Outcomes

  • Better visibility
  • Actionable alerting
  • Faster fault finding
  • Scalable operations
05 // MIGRATION

Hypervisor & Platform Migration

Our team has hands-on professional experience planning and delivering VMware migrations to Proxmox VE, Microsoft Hyper-V and Platform9. As organisations reassess VMware estates amid licensing, commercial and platform-strategy changes, target selection follows workload, operational model, resilience, supportability, cost and skills requirements—not every platform suits every workload.

Outcomes

  • Discovery, dependency and compatibility assessment
  • Storage, networking, backup and recovery validation
  • Sequenced cutover and rollback plans
  • Post-migration validation with minimal disruption
06 // SECURITY

Identity & Access Hardening

Our team has hands-on professional experience improving identity and access controls across Microsoft and hybrid environments, including Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, MFA, role-based access, secure administration and service authentication. The focus is practical risk reduction without making systems difficult to operate.

Outcomes

  • Stronger identity and access controls
  • Reduced administrative exposure
  • Clearer privilege and role boundaries
  • More secure service authentication
