Managed networks and IT for businesses in Coimbra and Central Portugal

Coimbra's business landscape combines healthcare units, laboratories, biotech and university spin-offs with retail and services. Many of these organisations process health data, and that changes what is required of the network infrastructure.

• Health data: Encryption, access control and a record of who viewed what, with the ability to prove it.
• Clinical equipment on the network: Devices and laboratory systems that need to communicate, but with restricted access.
• Multiple sites: Clinics with more than one location using the same systems.
• A continuous schedule: Bookings and appointments that cannot wait for an engineer.

In healthcare, laboratories and education, a flat network is a risk. Certified structured cabling is designed to separate clinical and administrative workstations, imaging equipment, access points, cameras and access control, each family on its own VLAN. Every point is certified with Fluke and documented in a report.

For business wireless networks, we measure coverage on site and configure roaming between access points, so the session does not drop when moving between consulting rooms or classrooms. Separating networks in a building that was not cabled for it always costs more than doing it from the start.

Distance does not reduce the service: a company in Coimbra receives the same as a client in Greater Lisbon, because most of it runs remotely and on-site support, on the Premium and Premium 365 plans, is set out in the proposal.

• NOC and monitoring: servers, network, connections and backups watched from Alfragide; 24/7 monitoring is included in Premium 365.
• Continuity: RPO and RTO in writing, ready replicas and annual tests, without depending on someone travelling with a disk.
• Microsoft 365: licences, email migration, MFA and tenant backup, all done remotely.
• Comparing models: IT Unlimited versus a retainer or an outsourced engineer, useful for comparing local proposals.

At Clínica Lambert in Corroios, DataRoad took over the entire IT function under IT Unlimited, including network and business wireless. At Clínica Mulher, in the Twin Towers at Sete Rios, it installed 192 network points, Wi-Fi 7 and a firewall. These are the same requirements as Coimbra's healthcare units.

• Education: network and support at Forward College's Lisbon campus.
• Industry: the network at Magnelusa's industrial unit and Panike's communications infrastructure.
• Public sector: 56 Wi-Fi 7 points across three SSAP buildings, through a public tender.
• Multinationals: Wi-Fi 6, firewall and redundant internet with failover at ReStream and IT Unlimited at Reltio by SAP.
• Hospitality: Wi-Fi 7 and CCTV at LX Arch Hotel and network and video surveillance at Ouro Rossio Hotel.

There is also an IT infrastructure project in the car rental sector and the full archive of success stories.

1. Survey: a visit to the unit and an inventory, including the clinical equipment on the network, almost always more than management expects.
2. Fixed proposal: scope, exclusions, response times, monthly fee and handling of health data.
3. Delivery: cabling, active network, security and workstations in windows outside opening hours, in the evening or at weekends.
4. Operation: support, monitoring (24/7 on Premium 365), restore tests and reporting to demonstrate compliance.
