Infrastructure for ERP, SQL and remote work
An accounting or ERP system is where the company keeps its memory. We pick the servers and licences it needs, move it over without losing a day of work, and keep it running afterwards.
Why companies move these systems to us
Sized for the database, not for a brochure
We look at the real database size, the number of concurrent users and how heavy month end gets, then choose CPU, memory and NVMe to match.
Licensing counted properly
Windows Server, SQL Server and RDS CALs are counted for how your people actually work, and supplied together with the servers.
Remote work without a slow client
The application runs next to its database and is published to the user as a desktop, so a thin connection stops being the bottleneck.
Backups sized for a real restore
Database backups run on their own schedule, separate from file copies, because restoring a database is not the same job as restoring a folder.
What we put in place
- Application server for your ERP or business system
- SQL Server with the edition and licensing that fits
- Windows Server and RDS CALs for user access
- Protected access over VPN or published desktops
- Database and file backup with tested restores
- Monitoring, updates and ongoing administration
How the move happens
- 1
We survey the current system
Version, database size, integrations, printers and scanners, who works when, and what the system is not allowed to be down for.
- 2
We build it and test the migration
Servers and licences go in, then we copy the data and run a rehearsal so both sides see the system working before the real switch.
- 3
We switch over and stay on it
The final switch is usually a weekend or an evening. After it we watch performance and stay in touch while the first month end passes.
Questions we get asked
Will our ERP vendor support the system after the move?
In our experience yes, and we prefer to have them in the conversation from the start. The vendor usually cares about the environment meeting their requirements, not about which building the server stands in. We share the planned specification with them, agree who does what during the migration window and who to call if something behaves oddly on the first working day. If your contract with the vendor names a specific setup, tell us early and we build to it rather than around it.
How much server do we actually need?
That comes out of the survey, not out of a price list. The numbers that matter are the size of the database today and how fast it grew over the last two years, how many people are logged in at the same time, whether reporting and closing periods create heavy peaks, and which integrations run in the background. A system used by eight accountants is a very different machine from one where forty people also work in a warehouse module. We size for the peak you actually have, with headroom to grow, and we would rather tell you the current server is enough than sell a bigger one.
Do we need SQL Server Standard or is Express enough?
Express is free and fits small installations, but it has limits on database size, memory and CPU use that a growing company eventually hits, usually at the worst possible moment. Standard removes those limits and supports proper scheduled backup jobs. We check what your system uses now and where the ceiling is, then say plainly which edition we recommend and what it costs. If Express still fits, we say so.
