Managed IT for Business

Many small and medium sized businesses can’t afford to hire a full time IT staff.  Just one knowledgeable IT Manager would cost a minimum of $40K a year, and would be sitting around with nothing to do most of the time.

That’s where Managed IT Services come in.  With Managed IT, businesses outsource their IT department, allowing them to have access to an off-site, fully staffed and equipped IT department without having to spend money on facilities and equipment of their own.  You get all the benefits of a in-house IT department with none of the expenses.

Managed IT will allow your business to have high-reliability, faster performing computers with fewer problems and almost zero down-time due to remote monitoring, maintenance, and proactive service.

Managed IT Service typically includes some, or all of the following (depending on your business needs):

• Backup Management – We help you establish robust backup and disaster prevention policies.  Whether your backup method employs online or physical media, we monitor your backups to be sure they are happening on schedule and without errors.  This prevents situations where the business assumes backups are being made, when in reality the tape drive has been broken for months and no backups have ever been made.
• Storage Management – We monitor your free space on your servers and other important computers, and let you know when the hard drives begin to reach critical capacity.  This helps prevent situations where employees transfer large amounts of uncompressed photos or music onto the server and cause it to crash, leading to loss of productivity and increased down-time.
• Network Management – We monitor and manage your network; adding or removing users, allocating storage space, setting up network shares and user permissions.  We also plan, design, and deploy any network infrastructure your business may require.  We also setup and configure firewall hardware, keeping your workers off time-wasting social media sites, or other sites not aligned with your business.
• System Management – We manage and monitor all your workstations, keeping them in top working condition.  We can perform user activity monitoring; to be sure employees are not breaking established IT usage policies.   We make sure antivirus and antimalware software is running and updated.  We prioritize and address any issues we may find.
