Infrastructure & cloud
Where your data and applications live — hosting, servers and backups handled together, because they fail together.
Three questions decide how solid a computerised business is: where your applications run, who holds your credentials, and how long it has been since anybody tested a restore. This family handles all three together because they fail together.
Hosting is not a technical choice, it is a trade-off. A server in Algeria answers your local users faster and leaves you somebody reachable; hosting abroad often costs less and offers more services. Neither is right in the abstract: it depends on your data, your obligations, and who administers it.
An in-house server stays relevant longer than people admit — file sharing, user accounts, line-of-business applications never designed to work over a distance. We say so when it applies, even where recurring hosting would earn us more.
Backup is the one budget line that never justifies itself until it is needed. So we deal with it first, and we verify it by restoring for real. A backup nobody has restored is an assumption, not protection.
What we usually find
- Your backup runs, and nobody has ever tried to restore a file from it.
- Your data sits with a supplier whose administrator credentials you do not hold.
- The server is under a desk, with no UPS, and everyone has got used to it.
- You pay for hosting and nobody knows exactly what is on it.
What changes
A proven restore
A file, then a whole system, restored in front of you, with the time it took. That is the only evidence a backup exists.
Credentials that belong to you
Accounts, domains and consoles in your name, passwords in your hands. Changing supplier becomes a decision rather than an obstacle.
A known monthly cost
Hosting, licences and storage line by line, with a stated margin whenever we resell something.

Cloud Hosting & Infrastructure
Hosting sized for your real traffic, in your name, that you can leave — and whose cost you know in advance.Windows Server
Centralised accounts, shares and permissions — worthwhile above a certain size, unnecessary below it, and we will tell you which side you are on.NAS & Backup
A backup that restores, tested regularly — because a backup never restored is an assumption, not a protection.
What you get
Inventory of what exists
What runs, where, under which licence, with which credentials and dependencies. Most projects begin by discovering what was missing from that list.
A reasoned hosting choice
Local or remote, shared or dedicated, with the three-year cost and the practical consequences of each option.
A server sized to the load
Installation and configuration — roles, accounts, shares, updates — for the real load rather than for the catalogue.
Backup in three copies
One local, one remote, one offline or immutable. It is the rule that survives a fire and ransomware alike.
Restore testing
Scheduled, executed, recorded. We note the real recovery time, which is almost always longer than anyone imagined.
Documentation handed over
Diagram, inventory, credential list and restore procedure, written so somebody other than us can use them.
Is this the right fit for you?
This is for you if
- You could not reconstruct your data if the premises burned tonight.
- Shared files or an application carry the daily work.
- You want to know what you pay and where your data sits.
This is not for you if
- You work alone with a few documents in a consumer online service. That is enough.
- You want the cheapest hosting with no discussion of the rest. We will not be cheapest.
- You want everything moved to the cloud on principle. We move only what gains from it.
What we commit to
The restore is tested in front of you
A backup never restored is not delivered as finished. The test belongs to the job, not to an optional extra.
Credentials are in your name
Domains, hosting accounts and licences belong to you. We have access to them; we do not hold them.
The hardware margin is stated
You see the purchase price and our margin, and you stay free to buy elsewhere and give us only the installation.
Hosting data in Algeria
Latency to Europe is still noticeable on interactive work, and a link going down is not theoretical: a business whose invoicing tool lives only abroad stops when the connection stops. So we always plan the degraded mode — what has to keep working offline.
Server hardware is imported, and a failed part is waited for in weeks rather than days. That changes the arithmetic: redundancy is worth more here than elsewhere, and a maintenance contract with parts on site often beats a more powerful server.
Finally, for some data the legal question comes before the technical one. We set out the options and their consequences; the choice is yours and we do not dress it up as a technical constraint.
Frequently asked questions
Should we host in Algeria or abroad?
It depends on the nature of the data, on your obligations and on your users. We lay out both columns — cost, latency, reachability, consequences in a dispute — and you decide knowing what you are choosing.
How often should backups run?
The better question is how many hours of work you are willing to lose. The answer sets the frequency, and it is almost always shorter than the interval currently in place.
Is the cloud cheaper than a server?
Not always. Over three years, a depreciated server is often cheaper for a steady load; the cloud wins where load varies or where nobody on your side administers anything. We do the sum on your case.
Can the existing server be kept?
Often yes, with memory, disks and a system upgrade. We look at that before proposing a replacement, because it is frequently enough.
What happens if we leave?
You leave. Credentials are already in your name, the documentation is current, and we export your data in open formats. No exit fee.
Who administers it after installation?
You, us, or both. We train your team on everyday tasks and keep whatever needs an on-call rota. That split is written down rather than implied.
How to start
Tell us what would stop you soonest: losing shared files, an application going down, or losing email.
We come back with the real state of your backups, the recovery time you have today, and the two or three fixes that move that number most.

The number in a model’s name does not say whether it will fit. Three others do, and they are worked out before buying anything.Infrastructure: where your data lives, and how long it takes to leave
The only family in this pillar that produces nothing visible. The useful question is not local or cloud: it is the notice period for getting out.The mains before the UPS: earth, circuit and heat
A UPS fixes neither a missing earth, nor a shared circuit, nor the heat that follows an outage. What damages equipment upstream of it, and how to check.Cloud hosting: what costs is not the storage
The line everybody compares is the cheapest on the invoice. The other three get paid on the day you need them most.The account, not the server: what you actually lose in the cloud
Everything you keep there passes through one login, one mailbox and one card. What breaks that chain, and in what order.The restore test: the one day you know the backup exists
A backup never restored is a hypothesis. The test is scheduled, timed and recorded — twice a year, onto a machine that is not the original.
