Colossus Media Group: one server for every editor
A digital media producer moved its whole creative team onto one Storinator.
Veteran-owned. Veteran-operated.
IT that stays up,
stays secure and
stays on budget.
We design and deliver the solution. You decide who runs it.
Connex designs, builds and hands over IT that is ready to run. Already have an IT team or a support provider? We work alongside them. Don’t have one? We run it for you.
CONNEXDesigns & delivers
1. AssessYour environment, risks and priorities
2. DesignRight-sized to what you actually need
3. BuildDeployed, tested and documented
4. Hand overTo whoever runs it day to day
Enterprise & Public Sector
Your team runs it
Best when you have internal IT staff who want ownership. You get full documentation, admin training and knowledge transfer, and we stay available for escalation and future phases.
Small & Growing Business
We run it
Best when the platform is specialized or nobody in-house has the time. We monitor, maintain and support it under a defined service agreement, scoped to that system only.
Mix and match by system. Your team keeps control throughout.
Resilience
Recovery planned and tested, not hoped for.
Operations
Fewer moving parts, less firefighting.
Security
Gaps closed, threats caught early.
Budget
Sized to you. Predictable, no lock-in.
Which sounds like you?
Start in the right place.
Enterprise & Public Sector
We have an IT team or a support provider
Municipalities, institutions and locally run organizations. We bring design and delivery capacity for the projects that keep stalling, then hand them back to your team or your partner.
Small & Growing Business
No dedicated IT on site
Owner-run businesses and small practices without an IT department. Hand off your IT, or share the load with the person who handles it today. Simple monthly pricing per device.
Not sure? Let’s Talk I.T. and we’ll point you to the right place.
Solution areas
Where we design and deliver
01
Security
Threats caught and contained around the clock, with protection, monitoring and a response plan sized to your organization.
02
Infrastructure
Networks, servers and connectivity designed for how you work: documented, resilient and sized to your budget, from one office to many sites.
03
Storage & cloud platforms
A safe place for your data and the right platform to work in: scalable storage for larger organizations, the right cloud platform for smaller teams.
04
Backup & recovery
Your data protected and recoverable, with offsite backup, failover and a tested plan so a bad day does not become a lost week.
05
Private cloud
A dependable place to run what matters, from a server moved out of the back office to hosted recovery and full virtualization.
06
Mobile devices
Phones and tablets set up the same way, secured and recoverable, so people can work from anywhere without exposing the business.
Engaging with Connex
From first conversation to handover
ConversationWhat is working, what is not, and what is on the plan for the year ahead.
AssessmentThe current environment and how responsibilities are split today.
Scoped proposalDesign, cost and operating model, in plain language.
DeliveryBuilt, tested and documented around your operations.
HandoverTo your team, your partner or us, as you choose.
No price list. A real number when you need one.
No two environments are the same, so every project is scoped to yours. Planning ahead? We’re happy to give you a ballpark range on request so you can budget before committing to anything.
Planning for next year?
Budget season is the right time to talk. Typical starting points: aging servers or storage, an untested backup, a security gap flagged by an audit or insurer, or a project that keeps stalling because it is nobody’s core job.
