Our IT Infrastructure division works hand in hand with our technical services division to specify the products needed on projects. Our key partnerships allow us to harness the leading solutions from the leading manufactures.
Our key Windows platform relationship is with HP. We believe in their products and we are a Preferred Partner, which means that when it comes to HP we know what we are talking about for servers, desktops, laptops, and for storage. We also have a close relationship with Apple and we are pleased to be one of the largest Apple Solutions Experts in Europe. The ASE classification is reserved for those that have the highest levels of capability in the Apple arena. In addition to HP and Apple we are also pleased to offer two of the best cross platform solutions with Centrify and Quantum Storenext. Together, they allow Rapid to take the lead when it comes to connecting the Mac and windows platform for mail, networking, and shared storage. Finally, we are pleased to have accredited status with Sonicwall, Xyretec, Infotrend, and Sophos to name just a few of the 21 accreditations we have.Open Directory? Active Directory? Whatever you have, we can make it better!
Rapid Group has been an Apple Authorised dealer and Service Provider for many years. We can help you deploy and troubleshoot your Mac OSX Server backend systems. Whether you want just a small server for collaboration amongst a handful of individuals, or to install Open Directory to service the needs of hundreds of staff. Rapid Group has the resources to enable you to wring the maximum out of Apple’s powerful new network operating system. But we can go further, Rapid Group’s team can help integrate your Mac OSX system (both Servers and Desktops) into Active Directory. We can:
- Plan and Deploy Active Directory from scratch;
- Upgrade your NT or Windows 2000 infrastructure;
- Help consolidate your existing servers;
- Build your new Exchange 2003 system and migrate your old exchange 5.5 + 2000;
- Help your staff to understand how it all works and what to do if it goes wrong.
Whether you have one site, or multiple sites across the country. Need Windows users to access Mac networked resources? No problem. Want it kerberized so it fits seamlessly into Active Directory, that’s how it should be and that’s how it is when we build it!
Our Technical staff make it a priority that you understand your systems. This empowers you to help yourself if trouble strikes; and if you can’t fix it, we can.
Mobile Device Integration
In this modern “Stay Connected” world, being out of touch with the office can mean lost business, or lost time spent catching up. Rapid Group can help you work on the go or at home.
If it is just e-mail that you need, we can help implement Blackberry and Outlook Mobile access. Using a Mac on the road and need access to e-mail in your Exchange or Small Business Server at work? Rapid can help Mobile Device Integration with a variety of solutions to make this work. Bandwidth an issue? Terminal Services may be the answer. Got a PDA and need to sync it with your server, Mac or PC, we can do that too. Wherever you may be in the world, if your mobile network supports it, we can help you communicate effectively with your office.
