Virtualization, Managed IT Services, VOIP, Remote Backup, Cloud Computing… Information technology is a rapidly developing field.

Network Design

Does your network seem to be running slower, especially during the critical busy hours? Are you having problems with corrupt data? Are you worried about security breaches? With a properly designed and configured network, Edafio can help eliminate these worries. We can help you with improved system performance enhancing your user experience and avoiding lost profitability. We can also make sure your network is scalable, so as your business grows your IT can grow with it.

Virtualization

The power of today’s servers provides for unique hardware opportunities. Virtualization allows companies to run several systems and applications on a single piece of hardware. Certain applications lend themselves to this environment very effectively. Let Edafio review your hardware and software application requirements to determine if this technology makes sense for your environment and reap the benefits of our strategic IT consulting services.

• Our business was working with an outdated IBM system, which they no longer supported. We began an exhaustive search for a completely new system - computers, software, you name it - and eventually were referred to Edafio.
  
  From the very beginning they spoke our language. There was no computer lingo we had to decipher, and we were all impressed with their ability to help our transition from the old system to the new one. In fact, Edafio's ability to communicate with our team of professionals is one of the most appreciated aspects we have of them. Edafio's professionals are dependable - our engineer is here every Tuesday whether we have an IT problem or not - and they know about problems and usually have them fixed before we ever realize anything was wrong. Edafio's professionalism, ability to communicate and dependability have made them an indispensable part of our team.

• In our business, when our network is down or not performing at peak capacity we are losing money. Edafio keeps us up and running with minimal service interruption. I am not sure exactly how they do it, but they seem to know when we are going to have a problem before we have it and that is worth a ton! Their engineers are always courteous, knowledgeable and professional. I can’t imagine what we would do without them.
