IT AMC · Dubai · UAE

IT support contracts built around uptime, not ticket counts

An IT AMC from Proto Link covers the systems your business actually runs on — servers, network, endpoints, firewalls and backups — with response times agreed in writing and our own engineers on site when it matters.

What an AMC covers

Everything between your power socket and your cloud

Most AMCs are written to limit what the provider has to do. Ours is written around keeping your environment working — here is what typically sits inside a contract.

Servers & storage

Physical, virtual and hybrid
  • Health monitoring — disk, memory, CPU and thermal alerts before failure
  • Patching & firmware — scheduled, tested, out of business hours
  • Backup verification — restores actually tested, not just jobs marked green
  • RAID & storage health — degraded array response and disk replacement

Network & connectivity

Switching, Wi-Fi, firewalls, links
  • Switch and router support — configuration, VLANs, port faults
  • Wi-Fi coverage issues — dead zones, roaming and interference
  • Firewall management — rules, VPN users, firmware and licence renewals
  • ISP fault coordination — we deal with the telco so your team does not have to

Desktops, laptops & users

The day-to-day support layer
  • Hardware faults — diagnosis, part replacement, warranty claims
  • Operating system & software — rebuilds, drivers, application issues
  • New staff onboarding — machine setup, accounts, mailbox and access
  • Printers & peripherals — network printing, scanners and shared devices

Security & continuity

Reducing the odds of a bad week
  • Endpoint protection — deployment, alerts and cleanup
  • Patch compliance — closing the holes attackers actually use
  • Backup and recovery planning — defined recovery points and recovery times
  • Account and access reviews — leavers removed, permissions kept tight
How it works

From site audit to a contract you can hold us to

STEP 01

Site audit

We document what you actually have — servers, switches, endpoints, licences and where the weak points are.

STEP 02

Scope and response times

You decide what is covered and how fast we must respond to each severity level. It goes in writing.

STEP 03

Onboarding

Monitoring, documentation and access are set up so the first incident is not the first time we look at your systems.

STEP 04

Ongoing support

Remote and on-site support, scheduled maintenance visits, and a quarterly review of what broke and why.

Common questions

IT AMC questions we get asked

What exactly does an IT AMC include?

An annual maintenance contract covers ongoing support and upkeep of your IT environment — typically servers, network equipment, firewalls, desktops and laptops, printers and backups. It includes remote and on-site support, scheduled preventive maintenance, patching, and monitoring. Hardware parts are usually quoted separately unless we agree otherwise upfront.

How fast do you respond when something breaks?

Response times are agreed before you sign, by severity. A site-wide outage or server failure gets the fastest response; a single user with a software issue is handled within the standard window. We put the actual hours in the contract rather than promising unlimited availability.

Can we cover only part of our IT, like just the servers and network?

Yes. Many clients start with the critical infrastructure — servers, switches and firewalls — and add end-user devices later. The contract is priced on what is in scope, so a narrower scope costs less.

Is remote support included, or only site visits?

Both. Most issues are resolved remotely, which is faster for everyone. On-site visits are included for anything that genuinely needs hands on the hardware, plus scheduled preventive maintenance visits.

What happens if hardware fails completely?

We diagnose, handle the warranty claim if the device is still covered, and supply replacement hardware if it is not. Because we also supply IT hardware, replacements are usually sourced quickly rather than leaving you waiting on a third party.

Can we start an AMC part-way through the year?

Yes. Contracts can start any month and are commonly aligned to your financial year. We audit first so nobody signs a contract based on assumptions about what is installed.
