Virtual CIO

Our Virtual CIO consulting services provide businesses with customized strategic technology planning, oversight, and high-level management that aligns technology with business goals.

Many businesses do not have the budget or business need to keep a full-time Chief Information Officer on staff. This means that many organizations are constantly trying to keep up with what’s working, what’s not, and what’s on the technology horizon. Without a knowledgeable resource to solve the technology riddle, many businesses are at risk.

Adding a Virtual CIO as part of your Managed Services contract is the answer to this dilemma, as well as many other business issues impacted by technology.  With Virtual CIO consulting, our customers get everything from network infrastructure and disaster recovery planning to cybersecurity and cloud migration recommendations, all customized and tailored to your business’ specific needs and long-term success.

Security Threats

With an ever-increasing prevalence of security threats and cyber-attacks on businesses today, ensuring that your business has the appropriate cybersecurity solutions in place is more critical than ever.  We understand the prevalence and types security threats today–and the importance of staying one step ahead of them. We also understand that not every business requires the same cookie-cutter cybersecurity plan and the importance of balancing security with usability. This is why our vCIOs work with each client individually to customize a cybersecurity plan that not only keeps them secure but works for their business operations.

Backup and Disaster Recovery

One often overlooked area of IT management is Backup and Disaster Recovery Planning. Unfortunately, too often this means that companies lose time, money, and data in the event of an emergency. Natural disasters, fire, flood, theft, and even hardware failures can be catastrophic without the proper backups in place. You need a plan to make sure that your critical business information is backed up and easy to recover quickly.

With Backup and Disaster Recovery planning from Nauticon, you can build a business continuity plan that incorporates the services we offer, including:

  • On-site and cloud-based image backups
  • Cloud-based file-level backups
  • Immediate virtualization for access to critical data in the event of a failure

Our true disaster recovery solution includes local image backups of servers to an on-site appliance and to two redundant off-site data centers. Then, if a server fails, the local appliance can immediately stand in as the server. Finally, if both the server and local appliance fail (i.e. natural disaster), we can virtualize a server to be accessed from anywhere with Wi-Fi—all fully managed and supported by our local team of experts.
