Request a no-obligation… # Certifications and partners of a premium MSP in Portugal At a glance For decision-makers short on time. - 01 Apple Technical Partner, certified Ubiquiti (UniFi) partner and Microsoft partner. - 02 Team certified in Cisco/Meraki, Fortinet, Sophos, VMware, Dell and HP. - 03 More than 138 sites and 1321 Ubiquiti devices managed by DataRoad. - 04 No standalone equipment sales: everything is installed and managed under IT Unlimited. **A top-end switch that is badly configured fails just as often as a cheap one, except that it cost more, and the decision-maker only finds out when the network stops. Vendor certification is what separates the two. DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting, one of Portugal's reference providers of network management and managed IT services, is an Apple Technical Partner, a certified Ubiquiti (UniFi) partner and a Microsoft partner, and works with Cisco/Meraki, Fortinet, Sophos, VMware, Dell and HP. The result: networks built to official specifications, complex incidents escalated straight to the vendor and the right equipment chosen first time. Headquartered in Alfragide, with support across Portugal.** ## What risk does a certified partner remove? - **Long incidents** Escalation goes straight to the vendor, with no layers in between. - **Errors at source** Configurations aligned with official specifications and validated practices. - **Vulnerability windows** Security alerts and fixes applied as soon as they are published. - **Frictionless warranties** DataRoad follows up the warranties of the equipment it installs and manages. We do not resell boxes. We take technical responsibility for everything we build and only install and manage technology our team is certified in. ## Which vendors does DataRoad work with, and for what? | Brand | Role in your company | | --- | --- | | Ubiquiti | UniFi networks, business Wi-Fi and high-density LAN: more than 138 sites and 1321 devices under management | | Apple | Management of Mac, iPhone and iPad fleets, as an Apple Technical Partner | | Microsoft | Microsoft 365, Azure, licensing and productivity | | Cisco/Meraki | Enterprise-grade switching, networking and security | | Fortinet | Managed firewalls and perimeter defence | | Sophos | Protected endpoints and managed security in critical environments | | VMware | Virtualisation and software-defined infrastructure | | Dell Technologies and HP | Servers, storage and professional hardware | Other brands come in when a specific project justifies it. ## Why is certification worth more than the logo on the box?

DataRoad is an Apple Technical Partner, a certified Ubiquiti (UniFi) partner and a Microsoft partner, with a team certified in Cisco/Meraki, Fortinet, Sophos, VMware, Dell and HP. With Ubiquiti, DataRoad manages more than 138 sites and 1321 devices. These credentials underpin every network, security and fleet management project the company installs and maintains. ### What does certification change in practice? Certification changes three things: the team has official vendor training, complex incidents are escalated directly to the vendor's support, and configurations follow practices validated by those who design the equipment. For the company, that means shorter incidents, fewer configuration errors and a network that holds up for years. ### Do you install brands outside this list? Yes, when a specific project justifies it. The choice is made case by case, according to the client's needs, the existing environment and DataRoad's ability to manage the equipment at the same service level. If a brand cannot be managed to that standard, we say so before the proposal. ### Can I buy just the equipment? No, DataRoad does not sell standalone equipment. Equipment is always part of a contracted service, installed, managed and maintained by DataRoad under the IT Unlimited contract. That model is what allows us to answer technically for everything we build, from day one to end-of-life replacement. ### Does certification make the service more expensive? No, the price of the service is that of the IT Unlimited plan: from €395 per month + VAT for Essential, €750 for Premium and €1,200 for Premium 365. Certification reduces costs over time, because it avoids reworked configurations, wrong purchases and long outages. The contract is annual and no lock-in. ## Next step: hand your infrastructure to a certified team Entrusting your network to an uncertified provider costs more later.
