Such tie-ins enable us to offer the full range of NAS solutions to meet your every storage need.

Fully Fitted Workshop

To provide our engineers with the best possible environment for the assembley, repair, servicing and testing of storage devices, we have a fully fitted, on-site workshop specifically designed to take into account all of the necessary anti-static precautions required when dealing with sensitive electronic equipment.

Our workshop is equipped with multiple test workstations including all of the latest manufacturer test software as well as using bespoke customised software enabling us to see every event in real time, a large stock of spares and test media as well as a vast library of technical manuals and procedures.

Priority Turnaround

To provide you with the best possible service and to minimise you or your customers down time, we aim to turn around all servicing and repair work within 3 to 5 days.

To provide you with the best possible service, if your drive is required urgently we can ensure that it is given our best attention and a priority assessment.

Should you require a faster turnaround time we also offer a 24hr Gold Service, which means that your drive will be ready for shipping or collection within 24hr's of being received at our offices/workshop.

Veritas / Symantec Preferred Partner

We are pleased to confirm our partnership with storage software specialist Veritas now owned by Symantec.

As data back-ups become increasingly vital to users, so the requirements of your back-up software become more specialised.

Whilst the specification of your back-up device may fulfil your requirements, the way in which your drive interfaces with the rest of your network is of key importance. Not only should your software run seamlessly and quickly, it should also be user friendly and cost effective.

Veritas not only provide cost-effective back-up software which is tailored to meet your requirements but also have a support program second to none.

HP Authorised Re-seller

We at SQS are proud of our continued relationship with HP as an authorised re-seller.

Our authorised re-seller status enables us to offer you the keenest pricing on not only back-up devices and media but HP's entire range of products.
