IT-CONSULTING: TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE MEETS STRATEGIC GUIDANCE
As a full-service IT provider with its own highly secure, geo-redundant data centers in Austria, we have been reliably managing our customers’ IT systems for over 35 years. Each partnership begins with comprehensive consulting and a thorough evaluation of the current status.
When choosing the right setup or solution, our experienced conova specialists provide comprehensive guidance – from strategic planning to technical implementation, and for all inquiries relating to infrastructure, security and performance.
We also do not rely on a fixed architecture – instead, we focus on the intelligent combination of managed hosting in our data centers, on-site solutions at your location as well as public cloud services. This approach allows us to find the ideal balance between security and control, flexibility and cost efficiency – bringing the best of both worlds together.
