Best-of-Breed Technology,
Deployed by Experts
We partner with the vendors we trust most — not the ones with the biggest rebates. Every product in our stack was chosen because it does the job better, integrates cleanly, and is supportable by any member of our team.
Our Technology Stack
Every vendor below is actively deployed across our client base. We don't recommend products we haven't built with ourselves.
FortiGate next-generation firewalls form the security backbone of every Melbit network deployment. We use FortiGate for perimeter security, SD-WAN, SSL inspection, and IPS across all client sizes.
Industry-leading threat intelligence via FortiGuard, tight SD-WAN integration, and enterprise-grade security at SMB price points.
As a Microsoft partner, we deploy and manage Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID, Intune, and Defender across 200+ client tenants. Microsoft underpins the productivity and security stack for most of our clients.
Deep integration across identity, device management, email, and collaboration. One vendor, one console, one bill.
Aruba is our preferred vendor for enterprise wireless deployments — healthcare, high-density offices, and warehouses. Aruba Central provides cloud management with deep RF visibility and role-based access control.
Best-in-class roaming, granular VLAN policy enforcement, and compliance-ready access control for regulated industries.
Ubiquiti UniFi is our go-to for SMB wireless and switching deployments. The unified controller makes multi-site management straightforward, and the U6 Pro / U6 Enterprise APs deliver excellent Wi-Fi 6 performance at competitive price points.
Excellent performance-to-cost ratio for SMBs, unified cloud management, and Wi-Fi 6 coverage in standard office environments.
Veeam powers our backup and disaster recovery solutions. We use Veeam Backup & Replication for on-premises workloads and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to protect Exchange Online, SharePoint, and Teams data.
Reliable, fast recovery with immutable backup support. Critical for meeting the ACSC Essential Eight backup requirements.
Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud provides integrated backup and security for endpoints and servers. We use Acronis across managed service clients for automated, monitored backup with built-in anti-ransomware protection.
Combined backup and endpoint security in a single agent reduces complexity and closes the gap ransomware exploits between backup and AV tools.
Yealink IP phones and conferencing equipment are our standard for Microsoft Teams Phone deployments. Yealink devices are certified for Teams and integrate natively with Microsoft 365 voice plans.
Teams-certified hardware at competitive price points. Reliable, easy to deploy, and fully managed through the Teams admin centre.
Datto BCDR (Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery) appliances provide local and cloud backup with instant virtualisation capabilities. Used for clients with on-premises servers where downtime tolerance is low.
Instant virtualisation means a failed server can be running in the Datto appliance within minutes, not hours — critical for accounting and legal firms.
How We Choose Partners
We're not locked into distributor agreements or vendor incentive programs that push products regardless of fit. Our selection criteria are straightforward:
- Does it work reliably in Australian business environments? We've deployed it, not just certified on paper.
- Can every Melbit engineer support it? If the answer is no, we don't standardise on it.
- Does it integrate with the rest of the stack? Fragmented tools create support gaps.
- Is the vendor financially stable? We've seen SMB IT vendors disappear mid-contract.
- Is the security track record clean? We check CVE history before deploying to clients.
Not an IT Reseller
We make more money from managed services than from hardware margins. That means our vendor recommendations are based on what works best for your business, not on what generates the highest reseller commission.
