About Proxar:
The company was incorporated in 2008 by a number of senior consultants, with headquarters located in Sevenoaks, Kent. We mainly provide our services in and around London and the south-east, but we can occasionally provide services outside our normal operational borders.
Proxar employees have worked in IT for many years, providing valued services to clients from several different industries.
Our experience comes from many different environments, from small (less than 30 servers) to large enterprise infrastructures (more than 1,500 servers). We are used to working with network equipment from the likes of Cisco, Foundry, F5, and Citrix, which makes us vendor-independent.
