Patolink engineers delivering service work
Services

The Work Patolink
Actually Delivers

Five service lines from Nairobi: Cyber Security, Managed IT, IP Telephony, Microsoft Solutions, and Cloud & VPS. A service is our time. A product is what we license or provision.

A service is not a product

Services are the professional and managed work Patolink delivers: assessment, design, implementation, cutover, monitoring, and the retainer after go-live. They are scoped in hours, sites, and what “done” means.

Products are the named platforms on the same order — Sophos, Yeastar, 3CX, Microsoft 365, Dynamics, or a Cloud EA VPS. Seats, appliances, and plans renew on their own line. Our time renews on its own line.

That split is how a finance team sees what is software and what is Patolink. It is also how the customer portal will show invoices later without collapsing a firewall into a voice contract.

CEA-01

Cyber Security

systems, users, and cloud.

READ THE FULL SERVICE arrow_forward

Cybersecurity for business systems, networks, users, endpoints, and cloud infrastructure.

Cyber Security is the Patolink service that protects the estate organisations in Kenya and East Africa actually run: offices, branches, laptops, servers, Microsoft tenants, and Cloud EA virtual machines. It is our time — assessment, design, implementation, monitoring, and the retainer after go-live.

Sophos is the first vendor on the product side: firewall, endpoint, licences, and appliances. Fortinet is also in the practice when the estate needs it. The product renews on its own line. Our hours renew on theirs. That is how a finance team sees what is software and what is Patolink.

We do not lead with a SKU. A structured review produces the scope. Implementation and hardening follow. Monitoring and vulnerability management are how you notice an incident in the week it happens, not in the audit six months later.

The same desk can attach a managed cybersecurity retainer so patching of the security stack does not depend on whoever is in the office that week. Write to info@patolink.com or call +254 709 343 000. Unit 1105, Applewood Adams, Ngong Road.

Service areas

Cybersecurity assessment and consulting

A structured review of networks, endpoints, identity, and cloud so the work list is based on evidence.

Network security

Segmentation, access control, and traffic inspection for offices, branches, and data-centre edges.

Endpoint security

Protection and policy on laptops, desktops, and servers that staff actually use.

Firewall and perimeter protection

Design, implementation, and configuration of the edge — Sophos or Fortinet when that is the right product.

Threat protection

Controls that reduce malware, ransomware, and known attack paths, then keep those controls current.

Security monitoring

Watching the estate after go-live so incidents are noticed, not discovered months later.

Vulnerability management

Finding, ranking, and closing weaknesses on a schedule that matches the organisation.

Security implementation and configuration

Hands-on build and hardening, not only a report left in a share.

Cloud security

Controls around Microsoft tenants, Cloud EA VPS instances, and hybrid estates we already operate.

Managed cybersecurity services

Ongoing operation of the stack — monitoring, patching of security tooling, and response support.

CEA-02

Managed Services

someone on the infrastructure.

READ THE FULL SERVICE arrow_forward

Continuous technical support, infrastructure management, monitoring, and maintenance.

Managed Services is for organisations that need the stack watched and maintained, not only installed. Patolink takes day-to-day ownership of the agreed estate: users, devices, servers, networks, backups, and the cloud resources they depend on.

The package is configured to the client. Contracts may be monthly, quarterly, or annual. Scope is written so server, network, cloud, backup, and security management are explicit — a finance team can read what is covered and what is a project.

This line can sit next to Cyber Security, IP Telephony, Microsoft Solutions, or a Cloud EA VPS without collapsing them into one invoice. Products are attached when they are actually sold. The retainer is the watch after go-live.

Write from Nairobi: Unit 1105, Applewood Adams, Ngong Road. info@patolink.com, +254 709 343 000 or +254 722 616 999. Monday–Saturday, 8.00 AM–5.00 PM.

Service areas

Managed IT services

Day-to-day ownership of the agreed estate: users, devices, and the systems they depend on.

Server management

Build, patch, and operate physical or virtual servers, including Cloud EA VPS when that is in scope.

Network management

Switching, routing, wireless, and the change control around them.

Infrastructure monitoring

Uptime and capacity signals so failures are visible before users escalate.

Systems administration

Accounts, policy, and the unglamorous work that keeps a tenant usable.

Preventive maintenance

Scheduled work that reduces emergency call-outs.

Technical support

A defined path for incidents and requests, with hours written into the contract.

Cloud infrastructure management

Administration of VPS and related cloud resources after they are provisioned.

Backup and recovery management

Backup jobs, restore tests, and the recovery runbook — not only a ticked backup job.

Security management

Operating the controls you already bought — often alongside the Cyber Security line and Sophos.

CEA-03

IP Telephony

voice that stays on the books.

READ THE FULL SERVICE arrow_forward

Business communication and IP telephony, from a single PBX to hosted voice.

IP Telephony is the Patolink voice practice: on-site, hosted, or hybrid. We design the system, deploy it, configure trunks and users, cut over, train the people who will live on it, and stay for support. The products that usually travel with it are 3CX and Yeastar.

Patolink is a 3CX Gold Partner in Kenya. That is the path for licences, unified communications, and call-centre work. Yeastar is the path for PBX appliances, software, and hosted instances. Poly and Jabra headsets and room systems can sit on the same order when the room needs them.

Buying a licence without implementation is how a contact centre ends up with a dial tone that still dumps callers into a generic IVR. This service is the professional work. The licence, the appliance, and any Cloud EA host stay on their own product lines so renewals stay honest.

Tell us extension count, sites, and whether you prefer 3CX or Yeastar. We quote from Unit 1105, Applewood Adams, Ngong Road. info@patolink.com · +254 709 343 000.

Service areas

IP telephony

The overall voice practice: on-site, hosted, or hybrid — written before we order a licence.

IP phone systems

Handsets, softphones, and the systems they register to, including Poly and Jabra when the room needs them.

PBX solutions

Appliance or software PBX design that matches extension counts and call paths.

Hosted PBX

Voice hosted by Patolink or on a Cloud EA instance we operate, instead of a box in the cupboard.

SIP-based communication

Trunks, DIDs, and the SIP configuration that makes outbound and inbound calls reliable.

Unified communications

Presence, chat, and meetings where the chosen platform supports them — notably 3CX with Microsoft 365.

Call centre solutions

Queues, agents, recording, live chat, and reporting when the business is inbound-heavy.

Telephony deployment

Physical or remote install, cutover, and training — not a PDF left in a share.

Telephony configuration

Dial plans, IVR, recordings, and user provisioning for day one.

Support and maintenance

Ongoing changes, upgrades, and break-fix after go-live, on a recurring line.

CEA-04

Microsoft Solutions

365 and Dynamics, as services.

READ THE FULL SERVICE arrow_forward

Microsoft cloud, productivity, licensing, and business applications.

Microsoft Solutions is the professional work around Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Dynamics. We place licences, stand up the tenant, move mail, onboard users, harden identity, and can stay for administration. Dynamics work is solution selection, implementation, configuration, integration, and support.

Patolink is a Microsoft Partner. Certification with Google and Microsoft is how we stay current — including accounts that are already on Google Workspace and need the same quality of implementation rather than a forced move to 365.

The product catalogue holds Microsoft 365 plans, Dynamics products, and additional Microsoft licences. Service hours and product seats are quoted separately so a renewal does not hide tenant work inside a seat invoice.

Zoho CRM, Books, and Workplace remain the path for teams that are not on Dynamics. Either can sit next to 365 seats and a 3CX contact centre on one quotation. Write to Nairobi: info@patolink.com · +254 709 343 000.

Microsoft 365 services

Licensing

Selecting and placing the right Microsoft 365 plans for the organisation — seats stay on the product record.

Deployment

Standing up the tenant and the first wave of workloads.

Configuration

Policies, domains, and the settings that make the tenant usable and safe.

Email setup and migration

Moving mail into Microsoft 365 with MX, autodiscover, and a written device wave — not a Friday-night cutover.

User onboarding

Accounts, devices, and the first-week path for staff. Training is part of the job.

Tenant administration

Ongoing administration when you do not want that work in-house — or it can sit on a managed-services retainer.

Microsoft 365 support

A named path for incidents after go-live.

Security configuration

Identity, access, and tenant hardening — often next to the Cyber Security line.

Backup and continuity

Protection beyond native retention, where the account requires it.

CEA-05

Cloud & VPS

servers you can actually manage.

READ THE FULL SERVICE arrow_forward

Patolink provides virtual private servers and cloud infrastructure through Cloud EA.

Cloud & VPS is the Patolink service line for virtual private servers and cloud infrastructure delivered through Cloud EA. Customers choose a plan by the resources they need: vCPU, RAM, storage, operating system, IP addresses, bandwidth, backup, and billing cycle.

The published Linux packages are Starter, Growth, Pro, Enterprise, Apex, and Custom. Pro is the default for a real application stack. Apex is the published best-value step when you already know you will fill the memory. Custom is the quote when none of those shapes fit.

A Cloud EA VPS is also a product: a named plan with a billing cycle. This service page is the practice around it — design, order, provision, and the option to retain the estate under Managed Services. You can buy the VM alone, or the VM plus a retainer.

Provisioning and payments are platform capabilities. They are not sold as their own customer-facing service. The hypervisor stays on the backend. Write to Nairobi if the public cards are the wrong shape: info@patolink.com · +254 709 343 000.

What a VPS plan can include

vCPU / CPU cores

The number of virtual cores allocated to the instance — 2 through 6 on the published matrix, or a custom count.

RAM

Allocated server memory, from 2 GB on Starter to 32 GB on Apex.

Storage

Allocated virtual disk — SSD on the published matrix, from 100 GB to 700 GB.

Operating system

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or Debian 12 on published plans. Further images when we publish them.

IP address allocation

Public or private addresses where the plan includes them.

Bandwidth

Network and traffic allowance for the instance.

Backup options

Daily backups are included on published plans; extra retention can be quoted.

Billing cycle

Monthly on the public cards. Quarterly, annual, or another cycle when configured.

Scope

Written before build

Hours, products, and what “done” means are on the quote. We do not discover the real estate in week six.

Mix

Lines can share an order

A VPS can sit next to 3CX. Sophos can sit next to a managed retainer. Microsoft seats can sit next to tenant work.

Price

Quoted per account

Seats, appliances, extensions, and contract length are set per estate. The Linux VPS matrix is the public exception.

Stay

The same firm after cutover

Support, monitoring, and the portal stay with Patolink. Cloud EA is how the VPS line is sold and operated on this site.
