Daylit, your modern IT partner

Daylit is your modern IT partner, made to take all IT worries off small and medium-sized businesses. Your servers and workplaces are updated, watched and kept safe automatically, at the moment that suits you. You decide when something may happen, Daylit does the work.

What Daylit manages for you

• Servers: Windows and Linux servers, on our own cluster in the Netherlands or at a data centre. Daylit takes care of updates, checks, snapshots and backups.
• Workplaces: Windows workplaces that Daylit keeps up to date. You work on them in your browser, with Remote Desktop or through the Daylit VPN. Mac workplaces (macOS) will follow.
• Coming soon: phones, tablets and laptops (MDM). Set up and secure your staff's devices centrally: settings, apps, updates and remote wipe when one goes missing.
• Network and access: the Daylit VPN connects your laptops, phones and office. You sign in with a passkey, without separate passwords.
• Passwords: the Daylit vault keeps passwords, keys and shared login codes for your team, end-to-end encrypted.

You decide when

Every business has moments when nothing may go down. Think of mornings at the auction, the till on Saturday or the night shift. That is why you choose, per machine, when Daylit may update and restart.

• Three levels. Automatic: Daylit installs and restarts by itself, only in your maintenance window. Semi-automatic: Daylit shows what is waiting and waits for your approval. Manual: Daylit only reports, and you press the button.
• Maintenance windows: for example Sunday night from 1 to 5 am. A window may run past midnight.
• Never restart: times when Daylit never restarts and never starts anything, for example Monday to Saturday from 4 am to noon.
• Groups and order: servers that belong together, such as a cluster or a database pair, are never down at the same time. The next one only starts when the previous one runs well again, and at Daylit they never share a physical server. If one goes wrong, Daylit stops the rest of the group.

The assistant helps you choose

You do not have to work out what fits best yourself. Tell the Daylit assistant in your own words how your business works: when people work, when it really must not go down and how bad an hour of downtime is. The assistant suggests a setting and explains the risk of leaving updates waiting. Nothing changes until you press Use this.

Always a way back

• Before every update Daylit takes a snapshot.
• After the update Daylit checks that your server works well again: is it reachable, are the important services running?
• If it works worse than before, Daylit puts it back by itself and tells you exactly what happened.
• In My Daylit you see per machine what is waiting, what the last round did and what Daylit plans now. If you like, you get a notification on your phone.

Safe, without having to think about it

• Daylit Security Watch checks known vulnerabilities every day and tests your addresses every week the way an attacker would. See security.
• No open doors: management ports are not open to the internet. Management goes through the VPN or through Daylit itself.
• Sign in with Daylit: one passkey for your administrators, also for your own apps.

Honest up front

Management is an automated process. Daylit does the routine work by fixed rules: updates, checks, snapshots and rollbacks. No system administrator looks into your environment every day. For questions and outages you can always reach us. The Daylit assistant answers at once, day and night, and turns the conversation into a ticket with one click if it cannot solve it.

For IT service providers

Are you an IT service provider yourself? Then Daylit can be the platform under your service. You keep your customers, your prices and your own way of working. Daylit provides the green, automatically maintained base underneath.
