Infrastructure, cloud, and security — designed, built, and run as one
CES designs, builds, and runs the technology that mission-critical organisations depend on. We combine trained local technical capability with international enterprise standards, so the systems at the core of your business stay secure, resilient, and running — everywhere, all the time.
Most clients work with us across all six areas, as one accountable partner rather than a set of separate suppliers. We are a managed services provider (MSP) — but more than that: we design and build the systems we run, so the same team is accountable from first design to day-to-day operation.
Advise. Build. Run.
Whatever the technology, we work the same way: we help you decide what you need, we design and deliver it, and we run it day to day. The team that advises and builds is the team that stays accountable.

Built to run continuously, in the toughest conditions.
From network to data centre and server room, we design and manage the infrastructure that essential operations depend on. Our approach is built for demanding conditions — engineered to perform without interruption and to lower the total cost of keeping systems on.
- Enterprise infrastructure design, deployment, and management
- Networking and connectivity for complex, distributed environments
- Data centre, hosting, and server infrastructure
- Ongoing managed services and support
Make technology a strength, never a vulnerability.
Risk is now the defining business challenge, and security can no longer sit at the edge of the system. We build it in — protecting the network, the infrastructure, and the cloud your operations run on, and standing behind it with continuous monitoring and rapid response.
- 24/7 cybersecurity monitoring, threat detection, and response
- Access control, network security, and endpoint protection
- Business continuity and resilience planning
- Governance and compliance aligned to ISO and ITIL standards
The right cloud, wherever your business runs.
Whether you run in your own environment, in ours, or on a global hyperscaler, we design, migrate, and manage the cloud around your operation — to the same enterprise standards, wherever it lives. Our own CES Private Cloud runs on Azure in a Tier 2 data centre, and we hold hyperscaler partnerships with both Microsoft Azure and AWS, so the platform fits the workload rather than the other way round.
- Cloud strategy, migration, and modernisation
- Managed cloud and hosting
- Backup and disaster recovery
- Cloud security
- Monitoring and optimisation
- Microsoft and cloud licensing (see Software & Licensing)
How our cloud offering works
We deliver and manage cloud across three types of environment, so the platform fits the workload.
- In your own data centre or a third-party data centre, designed, built, and managed by CES
- CES Private Cloud, running on Azure (currently available in Mozambique)
- CES Managed Hosting (available in Namibia)
- Microsoft Azure
- Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Reliable operations depend on reliable connectivity.
We keep organisations connected across some of the most complex environments on the continent. Unified, secure communication and collaboration that connects teams, streamlines how they work, and holds up wherever the work happens.
- Unified communications and collaboration platforms
- Secure, managed connectivity across distributed sites
- Integration with existing infrastructure and cloud
- Ongoing support and management
The hardware your people work on, managed end to end.
From laptops and desktops to mobile devices, we supply, deploy, secure, and manage the endpoints your teams depend on — as a managed lifecycle rather than a one-off purchase. Backed by our Dell and Lenovo accreditations, devices arrive configured, protected, and ready to work.
- Device supply and procurement (Dell, Lenovo, and others)
- Configuration, deployment, and rollout
- Endpoint security and management
- Lifecycle management, support, and refresh
The right licenses, sourced and managed.
We supply the software licenses our clients run on — and manage them properly. As an accredited partner to vendors including Microsoft, we source the right licenses, keep you compliant, and help control what you spend, so licensing supports the business rather than surprising it.
- License resale and procurement (Microsoft and other vendors)
- License advisory — the right products and editions for your needs
- Renewals, true-ups, and compliance management
- Cost optimisation across your software estate
