Unitt focuses on the optimisation of service delivery to Benelux customers, expanding its market share, and supporting partner organisations locally. Aimed at the demanding business user looking to host a high-traffic site, e-commerce solution or mission-critical (online) application, Unitt provides stringent SLAs including guaranteed resolution times, and 24x7 support. Moreover, there’s simply no call centre: customers gain direct access to the Unitt engineers who can act as if they were another department of the customer. The portfolio entails public and private cloud platforms as well as managed hosting, built up from leading-edge technologies and concepts. Examples of these include ‘multi-data centre’ configurations, Disaster Recovery, Web Application Firewalls, high-end loadbalancers, and SAN technology – without the customer investing upfront in hardware.
