Managed Services
Flexible and scalable fully managed services
IT works best when you don’t notice it. But when things go wrong, resources are stretched, staff are reduced, vendors are late or maintenance is not maintained, your IT performance is at risk. Which means your business is at risk. The truth is, most companies don’t have the resources, expertise and financial resources to manage their infrastructure in-house to a reliable and secure level.
Fully Managed Services
The challenge
Technical support can be a challenging task especially if you are supporting clients 24/7/365, which means you either spend significant operational expenditure staffing your business or you outsource the support to a third party. The key is understanding what you are capable of doing in-house against what your current team is not able to support. Coreix are able to help you find the right balance between the two and work with your business and existing teams to achieve a common goal.

Examples of Data Security Products
-
Penetration Testing
We offer penetration testing services using a trusted third party to assure you that nothing is overlooked or missed in ensuring your data is protected. The solution is highly consultative and we can work with you and the partner to achieve a security scan that meets both your personal requirements and your compliance needs.
-
PCI-DSS Scanning
A PCI scan is an internal and external scan of a company's network that accepts, processes, and stores credit card data. Quarterly PCI scans, carried out by an approved PCI vendor, are mandatory to qualify for the PCI DSS (payment card industry data security standards) requirements.
-
Firewalls with IPS/IDS
An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is a network security/threat prevention technology that examines network traffic flows to detect and prevent vulnerability exploits.
An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a device or software application that monitors a network or systems for malicious activity or policy violations. Any intrusion activity or violation is typically reported either to an administrator or collected centrally using a security information and event management system.
Coreix can provide high availability firewall solutions with IDS/IPS and antivirus solutions. -
Anti-Virus and AntiMalware
Antivirus software or anti-malware products can be installed on your servers to mitigate potential threats. We have a partnership with Malwarebytes who provides these solutions. Malwarebytes offers one of the best antivirus programs to protect computers against malware, hacks, viruses, ransomware, and other ever-evolving threats.

Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
Aren't these the same thing?
Not really - Business Continuity is making sure your business runs normally given adverse conditions and whilst a disaster recovery plan is part of that, disaster recovery is what happens in the event of catastrophic failure.
Coreix likes to look at it in the same way we look at storage. Business Continuity is like a RAID array. If you have a drive resiliency, drives can fail and your business will run as normal while the array rebuilds. However, if the whole array fails then you need to restore from backup which is your disaster recovery plan. This is why RAID is no substitute for a comprehensive backup plan!
We’re prepared for the unexpected - are you?
Our managed disaster recovery service mitigates against the risk of unforeseen events - from fire and flooding, through to cyber-attacks. If the unexpected happens - our expertise will keep your mission-critical systems on, delivering business as usual, with minimal disruption. By understanding your business, we can develop, implement and test your disaster recovery measures, to ensure you’re fully prepared.
What are business continuity and disaster recovery and why do I need them?
The scope of business continuity and disaster recovery is wide but pertains to the policies and processes surrounding the recovery or continued uptime of a data centre's infrastructure and equipment. It is important for a data centre to have a fully operational plan so as to protect your data in the case of a natural or man-made catastrophe.
It is also possible to actively backup your data, helping you to ensure that if the worst does happen and the data centre suffers a catastrophic outage, you won't need to worry about your data being lost.
We offer different levels of disaster recovery from fully replicated across multiple data centres and regions to snapshots in keeping with your requirements. We can help you choose the best for your business and explain the benefits and drawbacks for each to allow you to make a truly informed decision.
Always check with your data centre provider what their disaster recovery plan is. If your data centre isn't prepared for the worst, they won't be able to deal with any situations if they do occur - which isn't good for your business.
Examples of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Products
-
Active/Active Multi-Site Solutions
Replicate your mission-critical systems, data and applications across our network creating an active cluster of services across multiple datacentres. These solutions can be achieved with both cloud products and dedicated server products. -
Active/Passive Multi-Site
Achieve cost-effective failback provision, by replicating your mission-critical systems at a secondary site. -
Load Balancing
Use our multi-site load balancing and clustering to support automatic failover to our datacentre locations. -
Managed backup
Gain peace of mind with our automated managed backup service, which stores your data safely off-site. -
Local backup
Good practices start with simple solutions. Adding additional drives to your dedicated servers or taking additional space on Cloud for backups is a good start to a comprehensive backup plan. -
RAID
If you are taking dedicated servers then RAID should be a standard consideration, in particular, RAID1 for a very simple and straightforward and cost-effective business continuity practice.

Compliance Services
Helping you achieve your goals
Coreix has been compliant with standards such as ISO 27001 for many years and we frequently work with our clients to achieve their compliance goals.

Due to our experience in working within this industry and through achieving our compliance in-house we have built up the necessary skills over the years to assist our clients in achieving their compliance goals with a focus on making their technology solutions compliant to standards such as PCI DSS.
Coreix can engineer solutions to a specific PCI DSS specification as required and host the solution in a facility that meets the required standards for your accreditations. Members of the Compliance Management Forum from Coreix work with the solutions architect to ensure compliance is achieved and compliant solutions are developed.
