Secure, monitored and resilient hosting for the servers behind modern managed buildings
Building management systems, access control, CCTV, metering and other building systems depend on servers and virtual machines that are often ageing, undocumented or sitting in a plant room with no clear owner.
IT4Automation provides secure, monitored and resilient hosting for the building-system servers and virtual machines that support modern managed buildings, delivered through our Host foundation.
In many managed buildings, the servers that run building systems were installed by different contractors at different times. Over the years this can leave property and FM teams with:
Hosting these workloads on fit-for-purpose, clustered (high-availability) OT server infrastructure gives the building a supported, documented platform. Specialist contractors keep responsibility for their own applications, while IT4Automation supports the hosting layer underneath.
IT4Automation hosts building-system workloads on the same approach we use for other critical operational systems:
Hosting is monitored by our UK-based NOC and SOC, and backups are monitored and restore tested so recovery is proven before it is needed.
OT data centre hosting aligns to the Host foundation and delivers the same three outcomes as every IT4Automation service.
A clear record of the servers, virtual machines, operating systems and backups that support your building systems.
Managed hosts and virtualisation, with planned patching, workload support and a defined recovery process.
High-availability hosting, backup monitoring, restore testing and lifecycle reporting that gives the property team evidence, not assumptions.
The OT data centre is one part of how IT4Automation hosts operational technology. Our Host page explains the detail: high-availability OT server clusters, fully managed hosting, cyber defences, backups and cloud migration options.
For managed buildings, hosting usually sits alongside landlord networking and secure contractor access as part of OT Assurance for Managed Buildings.
Start with a one-building OT infrastructure risk review and get a clear view of the servers, backups and recovery routes behind your building systems.
