No-obligation proposal. # SEPLEU: IT built from scratch and managed from day one At a glance For decision-makers short on time. - 01 In 2021 SEPLEU had its entire IT infrastructure built from scratch by DataRoad. - 02 Dell PowerEdge server, Active Directory, firewall with VPN, NAS and off-site backups, and Wi-Fi. - 03 DataRoad now manages it all under an annual IT Unlimited contract. ### In this article **A server on its own is not an infrastructure: without identities, a firewall and backup, the first mistake or failure stops the organisation.** In 2021, SEPLEU (the Union of Graduate Educators and Teachers) chose DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting to build its entire IT infrastructure from scratch and then manage it under an annual IT Unlimited contract. The project brought together a server, identity management, perimeter security, two-tier backup, Wi-Fi and monitoring into a coherent whole, in which each element reinforces the others. ## Project overview | Field | Detail | | --- | --- | | Client | SEPLEU: Union of Graduate Educators and Teachers | | Sector | Companies and offices | | Year | 2021 | | Scope | Business wireless network, firewall and security, servers and infrastructure, IT Unlimited | ## Components installed - **Dell PowerEdge server** Running Windows Server 2019. - **Active Directory** Centralised management of users and permissions. - **Firewall with VPN** Secure remote access. - **Backup NAS** With additional remote off-site copies. - **Wireless network** Throughout the premises. - **Monitoring and alerting** Across the entire infrastructure. ## Why a server on its own is not enough Each component closes off a different risk: - **Without Active Directory**, access is scattered and hard to audit. - **Without a firewall and VPN**, remote access is exposed. - **Without two-tier backup**: local NAS and off-site copy, data is at the mercy of a hardware failure, but also of a fire or theft on the premises. Designed as a whole, SEPLEU’s environment has followed security and continuity best practice from day one. ## Ongoing management under IT Unlimited After installation, DataRoad maintains the entire infrastructure through [IT Unlimited](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/it-unlimited-managed-it-services-fixed-fee/): - **Support** On-site, remote and by telephone. - **Scope** Workstations, Wi-Fi, printing and servers. - **Connectivity** Management of internet connections. - **Operations** Ongoing monitoring, alerting and reporting. ## Results - **Infrastructure aligned with best practice** Security and continuity built in from the start. - **Controlled access** Centralised in Active Directory. - **Protected data** Local and off-site copies. - **Prevention** Faults dealt with before they affect the union. ## More projects and news - [24 public contracts with RTP, Técnico, Lisbon Faculty of Medicine and SSAP](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/public-contracts-it-partner-rtp-tecnico-ssap/) - [France Affiches: IT audit at two locations in Paris](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/france-affiches-it-audit-paris/) - [Embassies and international bodies choose DataRoad](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/embassies-international-groups-msp-portugal/) - [The DataRoad website in five languages](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-it-services-five-languages/) See our [case studies](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/case-studies/), [news and projects](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/news/) and [fixed-cost managed IT for business](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/lisbon-msp-managed-networks-it/).
