Anvil Solutions’ managed services will make sure your cloud services run safely and effectively.
Cloud Services You Can Rely On
Using cloud services for your IT opens up many possibilities for your business. You can access your information and programs from anywhere, take advantage of Software as a Service (SaaS), and have the assurance that your information is safely stored off-site.
If it’s not set up and managed properly, cloud services can pose a security risk or functionality may be compromised.
The team at Anvil are well versed in a range of cloud services and can provide cloud solutions for storage, email, backup, virtual networks, as well as our Anvil Managed Services.

In addition, we provide automatic blocking of known bad web/IP addresses such as known botnets, spam servers, infected web servers, known criminal IP addresses, malware grids and known phishing sites.

We also monitor network devices via SNMP and network discovery, monitor applications you specify, run system checks you may request (e.g. file size checks, log checks) and much more via our management platform.
