Services
No servers. No IT overhead. We provide a fully managed environment with shared drives, domain control, and endpoint protection.
Staff use familiar mapped drives like S:\Projects, from anywhere — ideal for CAD and finance.
One login per user across devices. We manage permissions, security updates, and quickly add/remove access when people join or leave.
Keep every device patched and protected — we handle updates and antivirus centrally.
How it works
We keep the process straightforward so you can move away from an old server without chaos.
We map out your current shares, devices and who needs access to what.
We design your VPS sizing, shared folder structure, domain layout and basic policies.
We set up the VPS, configure the domain, migrate shared folders and configure mapped drives.
We join devices and look after updates, antivirus and policies over time.
No traditional VPN required
Remote staff connect over Tailscale, seeing the same mapped drives wherever they are—without a clunky legacy VPN client.

About
Make “the office server” something small businesses never have to worry about again.
AXSIS came from seeing the same pattern again and again: small businesses moved from an ageing server to Google Drive or OneDrive, but their CAD tools, accounts systems and staff still needed simple mapped drives and predictable folders. At the same time, most PCs were a mix of editions, missing updates and running weak or expired antivirus. AXSIS brings back the reliable shared drive and domain experience, while quietly keeping devices patched and protected in the background.

Why not just use Google Drive or OneDrive?
Cloud-sync tools aren’t built for CAD files, accounting databases, or mapped-drive workflows, so they often create file conflicts and break sync. AXSIS gives you a mapped S:\ drive with a clean, consistent folder structure that works with CAD, PDFs, photos, and finance tools—without sync conflicts.
Do we need Windows Pro?
To join the domain and be centrally managed, PCs need Windows Pro, Pro for Workstations, Education or Student. Windows Home can still access the shared drive but can’t join the domain.
Do we need a VPN for remote access?
No. AXSIS uses Tailscale for secure connectivity, so remote staff see the same mapped drives wherever they are—without a clunky legacy VPN client.
Can you work with our current IT provider?
Yes. We manage the hosted VPS, shared drives and domain; they can continue supporting your devices and local network.
AXSIS moves your domain and shared drives to a managed VPS, giving staff the familiar experience they expect—while we handle updates, antivirus, and secure access.
