Business Service

I offer a comprehensive, scalable solution for companies who rely on Apple products to run their day to day business. Every company is different and the last thing yours needs is to waste time and money on an extravagant and expensive IT solution that ultimately doesn't meet your needs. The Macintosh is a very stable and cost effective platform when utilized correctly in a business environment.

Most offices today have both Macs and Microsoft Windows PCs. For this reason, I partner with RedPine Systems, a Portland based Windows consulting company. We work together to ensure that all of your computers play nice together, no matter what operating system they're running.

Backup Systems

Computer hard drives, which store your data, are the most unreliable component of your computer. Spinning at 5,000 rpms or faster, with a microscopic head flying over the surface of the drive at an equally small height, hard drives have multiple moving parts and generate large amounts of friction heat. it's no wonder that these small wonders burn out so often, with an average expected lifespan of 5 years. In the business world, loss of data can mean lost customers, revenue, or even a loss of your business entirely. I ensure that you have a reliable and fully automated backup solution, so you can rest knowing that your data, and business, are safe.

Security

With the explosion of the internet and computer usage in general, security should be a top priority for any company that relies on computers to store and transmit confidential data of any sort. As a Macintosh user, you've already got the upper hand on security and I work to ensure that all of the pieces are in place. I offer solutions for securing your wireless network, encrypting your most confidential data, tracking lost or stolen hardware, regulating employee access to files, and much more.

Consulting

Whether you're contemplating a system upgrade, need help with a platform migration, or are installing a new network - I can help. I offer consulting on just about every topic ranging from storage solutions to Mac based video security systems. Just ask.

Web Hosting and Domains 

I also offer website hosting and domain management, to help ease the burden of implementing and maintaining an internet presence.
