Media businesses turn to us when

Their current IT provider does not understand broadcast infrastructure, media workflows, or Ofcom requirements
Edit suites and grading rooms are suffering from storage bottlenecks, dropped frames, or render failures
They need to migrate from legacy tape-based workflows to file-based or cloud-native production
Digital asset management is chaotic, with content scattered across disconnected drives and platforms
They have failed or fear failing a TPN (Trusted Partner Network) or studio security assessment
Playout or ingest systems are unreliable, risking Ofcom penalties and lost advertising revenue
They are scaling their content output and need infrastructure that grows with production demands
Remote and hybrid production workflows are not performing well enough for editors and producers
Cyber security concerns are growing as high-value unreleased content becomes a target for attackers

Why choose Cloudswitched for your media business?

We understand the difference between a dropped frame in an edit suite and a slow Outlook inbox -- both get fixed, but we know which one stops your production.

Our engineers speak the language of media: codecs, frame rates, colour spaces, and playout specifications are part of our everyday vocabulary.

We provide proactive monitoring of shared storage, render nodes, and ingest systems so that capacity issues are flagged before they impact deadlines.

Flexible support models accommodate the project-driven nature of media production, scaling up for busy periods and down during quieter months.

A dedicated account manager with media-sector experience ensures every interaction reflects an understanding of your production environment and business pressures.

What is managed IT support?

Understanding the difference between reactive break-fix and proactive managed IT — and why it matters for your media business.

Beyond break-fix

Managed IT support is a proactive approach to maintaining your business technology. Rather than waiting for something to break and then calling for help, a managed IT support provider continuously monitors, maintains and optimises your entire IT environment — preventing issues before they cause downtime, data loss or productivity drops.

With a managed IT support service, your media business gets access to a full team of qualified IT engineers, an IT helpdesk for day-to-day issues, scheduled maintenance to keep systems healthy, and strategic guidance to align your technology with your business goals — all for a predictable monthly cost.

Who is it for?

Managed IT support is ideal for media businesses that don't have a dedicated internal IT department, or businesses that want to supplement their existing IT staff with specialist expertise and overflow capacity. Outsourced IT support gives you the coverage and capability of an entire IT team at a fraction of the cost of hiring in-house.

Whether you're a 10-person media office or a 200-person company, our IT support packages scale to match. We handle the technology so you can focus on running your business.

Our support plan

Proactive monitoring, security, maintenance and expert helpdesk support — everything your media business needs to run without IT headaches.

01

Monitoring

Ongoing performance monitoring of your devices to establish baselines, deliver alerts when business-critical services stop working and provide transparent accountability on network health. We monitor any number of critical processes depending on your chosen support package.

02

Managed Anti-Virus

Software and service inclusive security — real-time protection from malware, viruses, Trojans, spyware and rootkits. Through our console we identify and respond to threats in real time, often before you're aware of them and before they can spread across your network.

03

Patch Management

Microsoft operating system and Office application patches managed across your environment in accordance with your update policy. We maintain central records of device patch history, reducing interruptions and keeping your staff working at peak efficiency with up-to-date, secure systems.

04

Scheduled Maintenance

Regular defragmentation, disk clean-ups, critical system log review, cache clean-ups and monitoring maintenance. Essential for a stable, optimised environment — reducing interruptions, maintaining performance and extending the life of your equipment to maximise your investment.

05

Remote Support

Helpdesk engineers available 8:30am to 6pm (UK time) via email, phone or web portal. Your dedicated team includes L1 engineers certified for desktop operating systems and L2 engineers fully certified for server, network and cloud platforms. All issues tracked and logged for consistent results.

06

Onsite Support

Whether you need infrequent on-demand visits or regular scheduled onsite presence, we tailor a support package to suit. Through our onsite management service we ensure peace of mind, increased staff productivity and enhanced IT performance across your business.

07
