In many ways cloud computing has opened up a whole new world for businesses. OAC Technology can provide cloud support services to help your business make the most of evolving technologies.
Cloud computing uses a network of remote servers to run applications and store data, which is accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. This off-site approach to computing gives businesses the means to stay productive without purchasing expensive server and storage hardware.
Many companies decide to transition to cloud services and cloud-based backups because they are simple to use, easy to scale and are continually updated with new features. We implement cloud compliance solutions to ensure security and regulatory requirements are met, such as NIST, HIPAA, or SOC 2 Compliance. Our cloud support services will ensure you meet or exceed your industry standards to keep data secure.
Moving to cloud services often improves business efficiency, because there is no need to update software or hardware to get the most out of cloud infrastructure. What’s more, transitioning to cloud support services has never been easier. Our experts are here to help you create a cloud computing environment that provides your business with peak efficiency and security.

We watch your cloud servers, applications and response times around the clock, in AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or a private cloud, and fix problems before they become outages.
At OAC Technology, our cloud support and managed IT services combine proactive measures with reactive solutions. We work hard to reduce downtime while improving performance. With OAC Technology, your business gets the flexibility it needs to keep growing.
Cloud infrastructure management keeps the pieces your business runs on, servers, storage, networks and virtual machines, stable and efficient. We run regular health checks, handle updates and patching, and allocate resources so nothing is starved and nothing is wasted.
For businesses that want out of the server room altogether, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) replaces on-site hardware with servers, networking and virtualization layers we host or run for you in the cloud. It costs less to operate and maintain than hardware you own, it frees the space that hardware occupied, and the time-consuming work, creating virtual machines, deploying middleware, balancing network traffic and troubleshooting applications, becomes ours instead of yours. Our server support and cloud migration teams handle the move.
A cloud you do not watch is a cloud that fails at the worst time. We monitor your critical cloud systems, applications, resources, uptime and response times around the clock, in Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and private clouds, and alert you before a slowdown becomes an outage. The same monitoring watches for security vulnerabilities, so systems get patched and configurations get corrected proactively rather than after an incident.
Diagnostics are available from any device with an internet connection, and when something does go wrong you are not reading dashboards alone: our technicians identify the source of the problem and get you running again. If you would rather keep a server close to home, we also offer private cloud hosting.
Cloud migration and deployment services include everything you need to take the step toward moving to and settling on the cloud. Our team handles everything from planning to execution.
Cloud vulnerability is one of the main reasons why many companies decide against the move. In reality, with proper support, your data is fully secured. Our cloud backup and recovery services focus on creating secure copies of your information and arranging quick data recovery. The goal is to avoid downtime and ensure business continuity.
There is no cloud. It is someone else’s server, and how they secure it is not the same as how you would secure your own. Many business owners assume that once data is in the cloud, security is somebody else’s problem; in reality you remain responsible for your data and your customers’ data, and most cloud breaches come from settings that were never configured, not from the provider.
We configure and maintain cloud environments to meet or exceed SOC 2, HIPAA and NIST requirements: identity and multi-factor authentication, encryption, firewalls, threat monitoring, and the ongoing configuration reviews that keep a cloud secure long after the migration is over. Our managed cybersecurity services cover the rest of your environment, and because OAC Technology is itself audited under SOC 2 every year, the vendor section of your own compliance questionnaire has an answer.
Creating, sharing and finding files was inefficient until cloud file sharing arrived, and it is inefficient again when a company has three ways of doing it. We set up cloud file sharing, usually on Microsoft 365 with SharePoint and OneDrive, so your team can reach documents and folders from anywhere with an internet connection, in the office, at home or on the road, with permissions that make sure files are only visible to the people at your company who should see them.
We also sit down with your team to look at how files actually move through your business, find the places where the process breaks, and set the structure and training so the new system is used rather than worked around. See our Microsoft 365 support for the platform itself.
Nearly every employee has a smartphone in their pocket, and many use it for work. For companies with bring-your-own-device policies, that means company email, contacts and files on hardware you do not own. Mobile device management gives you control without taking the phone away: application management, usage monitoring, device deployment, and the ability to wipe company data from a lost phone or a departing employee’s device, across iOS and Android.
The result is a team that can work from anywhere with easy access to business apps, email and content, on a footing you can defend to an auditor or an insurer.
Cloud support services provide real value for business owners and operations managers. They don’t just help reduce costs and improve efficiency, but also make it easier to adapt to changing business needs.
Cloud solutions grow with your business. If you need more storage, it’s always available. When you need to add a user, it’s only a matter of a few clicks. This flexibility allows you to respond faster to business changes and avoid the limitations of traditional IT systems.
At OAC, we also provide Microsoft 365 Support to help your team stay connected across the world.
Cost savings are the main reason why companies migrate to the cloud. There is no need to purchase expensive hardware or maintain on-site servers. Instead, you simply pay for what you use. Meanwhile, maintenance and upgrades can be done within the cloud.
Cloud-based systems make it easy for employees to work together even if they are on different continents. Files and tools are accessible from any device that has an internet connection.
Many industries rely on cloud computing for efficiency and compliance. Cloud support services are especially valuable for organizations that handle sensitive information.
Healthcare organizations need secure systems to protect patient data. Cloud solutions support HIPAA compliance while improving access to records and applications.
Law firms and financial companies handle large amounts of sensitive data. Cloud support helps protect this information while meeting standards like SOC 2 and NIST.
Retail and e-commerce businesses need flexible systems to handle changing demand. Cloud solutions provide the necessary scalability. Meanwhile, they keep inventory and operations connected across multiple locations.
Having the right strategy for cloud migration can help you minimize downtime. At OAC Technology, we guide businesses through every stage of cloud transformation.
We assess your current systems and identify your goals. Based on this data, we create a strategy that includes deciding what to move and when to move it, as well as how to ensure the long-term success of the new cloud environment.
Our team uses proven methods to move data and systems in phases. This way, your business continues to operate throughout the transition.
After migration, we make sure the new cloud environment works according to the requirements. This includes adjusting resources, improving system speed, and tweaking security settings.
No. Most of our clients run a hybrid: Microsoft 365 for email and files, some workloads in the cloud, and a server or two that has a good reason to stay on-site. We design around what should move, not around moving everything.
Microsoft 365 and Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and private cloud hosting when you want a server close to home.
It is as secure as it is configured to be. The provider secures the building and the hardware; the settings, identities and permissions are your responsibility, and that is the part we manage and monitor.
Ongoing cloud infrastructure management is part of our flat-rate managed services, priced per device and cloud instance; migrations are scoped and quoted as projects. See how much managed IT services cost or use the pricing calculator.
Yes. We start with an assessment of what is there, what it costs and what is exposed, then fix the configuration before we change anything else.
That is most of what cloud support is for: secure access to the same files, apps and phones from wherever your people are.
