What We Offer
We provide two tiers of service: Starter and Pro.
And our service is delivered in two phases:
- Initial Setup (one-time fee)
- Ongoing Maintenance (recurring fee)
We also offer Additional Services that are available anytime.
Phase 1: Initial Setup
Starter Tier
About the Starter tier
Give your business a robust data storage scheme with basic remote access. This is the essential setup that everyone deserves.
- Network-attached storage (NAS) setup - We configure a private NAS so you fully own your data, keeping it accessible without relying on third-party cloud providers.
- Resilient 3-2-1 backup system - Build an automated backup workflow that is resilient and provides version history (allowing you to roll back files to earlier versions).
- Power loss protection - Install UPS systems and safe shutdown automation to keep your NAS, router, and modem from corrupting data during outages.
- Shared network drive access - Create secure, organized shared drives for your home or office that are easy to access locally or over the internet.
Pro Tier
About the Pro tier
Elevate your setup with tailored and customizable data and networking solutions, built to your specifications. See how your workflow can adapt to your needs, and not the other way around.
This includes everything in the Starter tier, plus:
- Tailored workflow solutions - Design a system built around your unique workflow instead of using one-size-fits-all tools.
- Basic user access management - Assign permissions and individual accounts to reduce the risk of accidental deletions or unauthorized access to shared storage.
- Automated syncing between computers anywhere - Enable encrypted, automatic syncing between multiple devices or offices to keep remote teams on the same page without relying on the cloud.
- And business-boosting perks:
- Custom domain, email, and hosting setup - Configure your own domain name, branded email addresses, and hosting environment.
- Connect domain with preferred email provider - Set up email backed by an email provider you prefer (ProtonMail, Gmail, etc.).
- Connect domains to client portals - Link your custom domain to compatible services you already use, improving branding for portals or client-facing tools.
Phase 2: Ongoing Maintenance
After your system is up and running, we provide the following to make sure things keep running smoothly.
Starter Tier
- Drive health monitoring - Set up early warning systems for drive degradation to avoid unexpected data loss from failing hardware.
- Automated integrity checks - Regular scrubbing and checksum verification to ensure your backups stay healthy and uncorrupted over time.
- Email support and continued check-ins - Regular communication regarding your setup or about data management and cybersecurity in general.
Pro Tier
This includes everything in the Starter tier, plus:
- Maintenance of custom solutions - Customized solutions are supported remotely to maintain best possible continued functionality.
