Cloud & Servers

In your office, in the cloud, or both — managed either way

Some things belong in the cloud. Some belong on a server in your own back room. Most businesses need a mix — and a partner who'll tell you honestly which is which, instead of selling whatever's trendy.

What's covered

Servers and cloud, soup to nuts

Server care

Your servers — in the office and in the cloud — monitored, patched, and kept healthy, with a heads-up before you run out of room.

Moving to the cloud

When the cloud is the right call, we move you there with a plan, a way back if you need it, and no surprise downtime — handled by Microsoft-certified engineers.

Fewer boxes, less risk

We can run several servers on one modern machine — easier to back up, move, and recover than a room full of aging hardware.

Hosting & web hosting

Business applications and websites hosted and maintained — a service we've provided Reno businesses for years and still do.

Licensing

Microsoft and cloud licensing untangled — the right plans, no shelf-ware, and renewals handled before they lapse.

Cloud cost optimization

Cloud bills have a way of creeping. We review what you're paying for, kill what you're not using, and right-size the rest.

Straight talk

"Move everything to the cloud" isn't a strategy

Cloud is brilliant for email, files, and collaboration. It can be expensive and slow for big local datasets or specialized line-of-business software. We'll tell you which of your systems belongs where — and what it'll cost either way — before anything moves.

  • Honest assessments — we don't earn more by moving you to the cloud
  • Migration with a net — tested rollback plans on every move
  • One bill, one partner — servers, cloud, and licensing under the same retainer
IBM AS/400 & Power Systems

Yes, we speak AS/400.

Plenty of solid Northern Nevada businesses still run on IBM iron — and most IT companies won't touch it. We handle day-to-day administration and support for AS/400 / IBM i systems, and when it's time to modernize, we plan and execute it in coordination with IBM support under your existing IBM contract.

Aging server?

The end-of-life decision, made easy

When a server ages out, you have a few options — replace it, consolidate it onto fewer machines, or move it to the cloud. We'll price each one for your situation and recommend the right fit — with the reasoning in plain English.

Wondering what your servers should look like in two years?

Book a consultation. We'll review what you're running, what it costs, and where it should live next.
