Service benefits

What managed IT
does for your fleet.

Three connected benefits: visibility of your systems, remote maintenance suited to life at sea, and records that support your compliance work.

How the benefits connectabela IT · vessel and shore
  1. 01Monitor

    Central fleet visibility

    Review asset health, virtual machines, backup status and patch deployment from shore. Identify the systems that need attention.

  2. 02Maintain

    Bandwidth-aware maintenance

    Use bandwidth-aware remote access, scripts and scheduled updates to carry out the work around the vessel’s connection and operating windows.

  3. 03Review

    Compliance support & records

    Use inventories, patch records and IT policies to review completed work, track exceptions and support your team’s cyber-risk management.

Review findings feed back into monitoring and the next maintenance plan.

Delivery process

How we set up and
support your fleet IT.

Hardware, deployment and support belong in the same plan. One Net stays involved across all five stages.

Meet the Zwana Nexus platform
  1. Design

    Start with the systems your fleet needs.

    Assess servers, workstations and network requirements. Define an infrastructure baseline and the policies behind it.

  2. Hardware

    Build on Zwana Nexus.

    Bring computing, storage and networking together in a modular onboard platform that can grow with the vessel’s requirements.

  3. Installation

    Put maritime engineers on board.

    Coordinate deployment through One Net’s global engineering network, with installation planned around vessel access and schedules.

  4. Support & monitoring

    Keep shore connected to the estate.

    Monitor devices centrally, investigate faults remotely and carry out maintenance through the agreed support model.

  5. Ongoing engineering

    Keep improving the environment.

    Review recurring issues, infrastructure changes and the next engineering work needed as your fleet develops.

Inside the service

What’s included in abela IT.

abela automate brings remote, centralised management to abela IT: monitoring, access and maintenance. Its central management tools give shore engineers a consistent way to discover devices, investigate issues and apply IT policies across the vessels in scope.

Discovery, inventory and early warning

Network discovery keeps a record of installed hardware and software. Monitoring brings device health, changes and faults into the same working view, so maintenance can start with evidence from the vessel.

  • Device discovery and network maps help keep the asset inventory current.
  • Alerts and automatically generated tickets flag faults and unexpected devices for investigation.
  • Hardware, software and estate-health reports support preventive maintenance and planning.
Remote access and remediation

Engineers can adjust session quality for a limited satellite connection and work in the background where the task allows. Access permissions define which systems they can reach and what changes they may make.

  • Remote commands and file transfers support investigation and repair.
  • Background sessions allow appropriate maintenance without taking over the user’s desktop.
  • Windows Deployment Services supports workstation and server reconfiguration; prerequisites are reviewed for each installation.
Patch approvals and deployment

Central patch management brings Microsoft operating-system updates, approvals and reboot policies into one process. Fleet and vessel views show deployment status, helping the team identify systems still awaiting attention.

  • Custom rules determine which patches are approved before deployment.
  • Schedules and reboot windows are agreed around the vessel’s work.
  • Bandwidth-aware scripts and planned deployment reduce avoidable use of the ship’s connection.
Virtual machines, backup and policy

The service can cover virtual-machine management, backup status and fleet IT policies alongside the physical estate. One Net reviews these responsibilities with the existing IT team rather than assuming that every system is included.

  • Review hosted workloads, storage and recovery requirements.
  • Establish who checks backup results and carries out recovery tests.
  • Record access rights, change approvals, escalation routes and the reporting required by your organisation.
