Software keeps getting slower
Data and user numbers grow every year, but server capacity has never been reassessed.
Ready infrastructure, secure data
WETEC deploys private servers or cloud, sets role-based access and builds a backup plan that has been test-restored.
Common situations
Risks that are easy to overlook
Backups that were never restored
No one is sure the backups work, or how long it would take to bring systems back after an incident.
Shared accounts, broad permissions
When several people share one login, it is hard to tell who viewed which data or changed a setting.
Expected results
Data is always ready for recovery
WETEC simulates an incident and restores from the latest backup, so you know exactly how long recovery takes to complete.
- Application server stops responding
- On-call admin starts the recovery procedure
- Restoring data from the 12:00 backup
- System back online, data checked
- Data at risk
- 2 h 20 min From the last backup to the incident
- Downtime
- 45 min From incident to recovery
Scope of work
Matched to your needs and scope
Private servers or cloud is decided by software requirements, usage and your team’s ability to administer it.
Infrastructure deployment
We assess data processing, storage and sharing needs. We configure the software environment and install monitoring tools with real-time alerts so administrators can track system health.
Deliverables
- Configured and checked infrastructure
- Configuration and admin guide
Access, backup and recovery
We review access rights and data risks, then set backup schedules and recovery procedures. A simulated recovery test proves the plan works.
Deliverables
- Risk and access-rights review
- Backup plan proven by a test restore
Delivery process
Proven before handover
Usage requirements, the data to protect and the recovery test scenario are agreed at the outset.
Review the current state
Check servers, accounts and current backups to identify the risks to address.
Current-state and risk reportDesign the solution
Choose the infrastructure model, access scheme and backup schedule that fit real usage.
Infrastructure and backup planConfigure and rehearse
Deploy the infrastructure, check permissions and run a recovery drill.
Recovery drill resultsHand over to administrators
Train administrators, hand over the system and guide them in monitoring, backup and incident handling using the documentation.

How we deliver
Infrastructure built around the software and the team
We have extensive experience deploying on Microsoft Azure, cloud platforms and utilities’ private infrastructure.
Sized for the software
Resources match real data volumes, user numbers and connections, with nothing wasted and nothing missing.
One person, one account
Access is granted by role, keeping business users and administrators separate.
Test restores on record
Test-restore results are recorded so you know how long it takes to bring systems back.
Administrators who can take over
Documentation covers configuration, backup schedules, recovery steps and support contacts.
