IMMIX Network Solutions rebrands as Triple4
“The new name and corporate identity reflects the new shareholding structure of the company in which ContinuitySA holds 50 percent and the directors 50 percent,” says Kevin Mortimer, MD of Triple4. “It also recognises the strong value proposition we have taken to the market and the enthusiasm with which it has been accepted.”
Triple4 traces its birth back to 2007 when IMMIX Network Solutions was founded. “Our basic premise is that IT has moved from being a useful business tool to the platform on which businesses actually run. We offer our clients a way to elevate their IT infrastructures to that level, so that their IT is truly operating at the level required to help them realise their business strategies,” Mortimer explains. “The key to our success is that we really take the trouble to understand our clients’ businesses—and then provide them with the total IT infrastructure solution they need to make those plans a reality. Our clients are typically companies who understand the role that IT plays in their success, and want to build a long-term relationship with a trusted supplier.”
Triple4 offers a range of services to clients from micro companies to large-scale enterprises like Fintech, Ocean Basket, Collect-A-Can and Aspen Pharmacare. Professional Services provides the consulting that is the essential first step to getting the right level of IT infrastructure. Outsourced Services offers traditional outsourcing with onsite personnel, but the increasingly popular approach is Managed Services, in which the vast bulk of the management is done remotely. “It’s all a question of how mature the client organization is in terms of its approach to IT,” notes Mortimer. “We can offer an appropriate mix of outsourced and managed services to suit what the client needs.”
Finally, Triple4 also offers Hosting Services, in terms of which infrastructure is provided as a true service. In this area, Triple4 hosts Capacity on Demand production environments, replication continuity services and now Microsoft Exchange and Lync as a service. “Our relationship with ContinuitySA adds tremendously to our hosted continuity offering because now clients can access total workspace recovery down to parking bays as well,” says Mortimer. “Our hosting option is truly flexible because we allow companies the flexibility to scale up and down, something that few South African providers offer, as well as the cost benefits. We are also a true cloud provider in that we have invested in our own equipment, which is housed in data centres around the country, with negotiations with an international data centre well advanced.”
