Data centre management
Every layer managed as one operating environment.
Mapota takes end-to-end accountability for the infrastructure stack, combining physical oversight, systems administration, lifecycle planning and 24/7 operations.
Network infrastructure
Core switching and routing, firewalls, load balancing, WAN connectivity and bandwidth management.
Compute & server management
Server provisioning, VMware and Hyper-V virtualisation, patching and hardware lifecycle management.
Storage & data management
SAN/NAS management, capacity planning, backup, archive, data tiering and deduplication.
24/7 monitoring & operations centre
Performance dashboards, automated alerting, incident management, escalation and capacity forecasting.
Performance & capacity
Operate today. Plan ahead of tomorrow's demand.
Capacity utilisation, thermal data and workload patterns are continuously analysed to improve performance, reduce avoidable cost and ensure infrastructure scales ahead of business demand.

- Technology refresh planning and execution
Disaster recovery
Recovery objectives built around what the business can tolerate.
Mapota defines, implements and tests recovery programmes for cyber incidents, hardware failure and other disruptions - with clear RTO and RPO targets by workload.
Mission critical
RTO: <1 hourRPO: near zeroHot standby, real-time replication and automated failover where appropriate.
Business critical
RTO: <4 hoursRPO: <1 hourWarm standby with regular synchronisation and semi-automated recovery.
Standard
RTO: <24 hoursRPO: <4 hoursCold standby, scheduled backup and documented recovery runbooks.
Non-critical
RTO: <72 hoursRPO: <24 hoursArchive-based restoration within an agreed daily backup window.
Planning & strategy
- Business impact analysis
- Application-level RTO and RPO definition
- Business continuity plan development
- Crisis communication and escalation planning
- Regulatory and insurance alignment
Technical implementation
- Automated cloud and on-premise backup
- Hot, warm and cold standby environments
- Real-time data replication
- Failover system design
- Tabletop, functional and full-failover testing
An untested plan is not a plan.
Structured recovery exercises validate that people, systems and procedures work as designed, then feed results into the next improvement cycle.
Colocation services
A professional home for the hardware you retain and control.
Secure, carrier-neutral facilities provide the power, cooling, physical security and connectivity needed for resilient infrastructure without the capital cost of building your own data centre.
Redundant power
N+1 UPS design, dual feeds, automatic transfer and generator backup for continuous availability.
Precision climate control
Hot-aisle/cold-aisle management with closely controlled temperature and humidity.
Multi-layer physical security
Biometric access, CCTV, security personnel, controlled entry and individual rack or cage security.
Carrier-neutral connectivity
Multiple carrier options, diverse fibre paths, cross-connects and scalable bandwidth.
Scalable rack space
Flexible options from 1U hosting through half-rack, full-rack and private cage deployments.
Remote hands & smart hands
24/7 on-site support for installation, cabling, power cycling and basic troubleshooting.
Data sovereignty
Keep infrastructure within the jurisdiction you choose.
Facilities in South Africa and Lesotho support local data residency requirements and POPIA-aligned infrastructure decisions.
