Always-onmulti-router failover, not hope
Services
One team. Every layer.
Domains, websites, RMM, procurement, day-to-day config, failover networking, equipment, and mobile contracts. If it is IT, it is ours.
Operations
Managed IT
RMM, patching, and day-to-day configuration so the business keeps moving without a full-time IT hire.
Security
Cybersecurity
MFA, endpoint protection, mail security, and the boring controls that actually get used.
Network
Failover networking
Firewalls, Wi-Fi, VPN, and multi-router failover designed so one circuit does not take you offline.
Resilience
Backup & recovery
Offsite copies you can restore, with retention that matches real records, not a checkbox.
Lifecycle
Procurement
Hardware and software sourcing, deployment, and replacement before the gear becomes the outage.
Presence
Domains & websites
DNS, domains, and the public site, kept on the same team that runs the rest of the environment.
Mobile
Phone contracts
Mobile lines and contracts managed with the same care as the LAN, not left as a side errand.
People
Day-to-day help
The unglamorous work: accounts, printers, new hires, and the thing that broke at 7:40 a.m.
Approach
We are the IT department.
Not a ticket shop that waits for you to notice. We own the environment the way a full-time IT role would, at Fortune 500 practice, sized for SMB.
- Cradle to grave: if it plugs in, authenticates, or bills monthly, it is in scope.
- Microsoft-first where it fits, vendor-honest when it does not.
- Security and failover designed in, not bolted on after an incident.
- A real human who already knows your building, not a new voice every call.
Plans
Built around the shop, not a SKU sheet.
Every SMB is a different mix of users, sites, and risk. We scope a monthly operating plan after we see the stack. No public price list, no surprise add-on for “the other router.”

Open Source Contribution: Proxmox VE Bug 8148
We run the same platforms we support, and when we find a defect we report it and help fix it upstream.
October 2026 · Proposed fix pending upstream review
Late-appearing Wi-Fi interfaces in Proxmox VE 9.2
On October 8, 2026, Ty Carter of Strategic Network Consultants, Inc. found and reported a Proxmox VE 9.2 issue: a Wi-Fi interface (MediaTek MT7922) that appears late during boot was not brought up by ifupdown2, and the Proxmox network page showed it as inactive with no address for DHCP interfaces. He filed it as Proxmox Bugzilla Bug 8148 and proposed a fix on October 9, 2026.
- A four-patch series across pve-common, pve-manager, proxmox-widget-toolkit, and ifupdown2.
- Refreshes live interface state and shows runtime DHCP addresses in the network view.
- Brings up late-appearing “auto” interfaces at boot.
- Proxmox Individual Contributor License Agreement signed October 9, 2026; patches pending submission to the pve-devel list for upstream review.
