IT security is considered of paramount importance by Magikos IT. Hardware equipment, manufacturers and suppliers are evaluated regularly to ensure that there is a reliable supply of the right technologies for use by ourselves and our customers.
Furthermore, Magikos IT takes into consideration security recommendations from government organisations such as GCHQ and the NCSC in the selection of manufacturers of network and server equipment. Currently, the UK government has two manufacturers listed on a High Risk Vendor (HRV) list: Huawei and ZTE. Though aimed primarily at the Telco level for core infrastructure services, Magikos IT does not use any equipment from either manufacturer.
In accordance with this policy and process, Magikos IT has at the current date (October 2022), evaluated the following IT hardware equipment manufacturers and deemed them to be acceptable for deployment in our own and our customers’ infrastructure:
- Draytek
- HP
- Ubiquiti
- Dell
- TP Link
- Apple
- Polycom
- ClearlyIP
- DLink
- Netgear
- Crucial
- APC
This list and the process of evaluation is ongoing – new manufacturers will arise and others will either disappear or merge. Current and additional IT hardware manufacturers will be evaluated and assessed as project requirements dictate.
