OAC Technology is a server support company serving Minneapolis and the Twin Cities from our office in New Hope, with fast, friendly support for your servers and the desktops that depend on them. Our techs won’t ever talk down to you, or make you feel guilty for not knowing our industry.
Our remote support and monitoring services allow us to maintain your desktops, servers, and cloud environment from our office. We offer extensive, customized desktop, server, and cloud support to meet your business needs.
Our experts can take on any server challenge that may arise in your data center, including the initial setup. The first phase of any IT hardware implementation is crucial, and installing servers is no exception. As your IT solutions provider, we begin every server installation by taking your future needs into account, providing our customers with scalable solutions that can grow with their businesses.
Server support and setup isn’t just about hardware. It takes capable software and proper configuration to prevent performance bottlenecks and get the most out of your investment. We can install and set up important server software, such as the server OS, to minimize downtime and ensure your company is up and running quickly. Once the initial setup is complete, our ongoing support provides IT predictability on a regular basis. And when the right long-term answer is no server in the office at all, our plan for retiring the server and moving to the cloud covers the move step by step.
When you choose server maintenance from OAC Technology, you can:

The difference between managed server support and a break/fix approach is massive. Nearly every business has experienced downtime at one point or another, and it’s the type of costly event you probably don’t want to go through again. With managed support, our IT experts provide ongoing services that reduce the chances of an IT slowdown.
There is never a convenient time for a server to malfunction. When it happens, it’s understandable to feel a sense of panic. Today’s businesses rely on functional IT infrastructure to survive. OAC Technology provides businesses with remote server maintenance, troubleshooting and issue resolution. These services mean that you don’t have to wait around for one of our IT experts to arrive at your physical location, as it only takes a phone call to get in touch with our team and resolve the issue.
When you choose OAC as your go-to resource for remote IT server support, you also eliminate the need to hire an internal team to handle server issues. In the long run, this approach saves money and helps your business run more efficiently. With OAC, you get dedicated IT experts who understand your unique business needs.
The OAC Technology staff is made up of IT experts, with an expert assigned to your business. When you contact our team, we won’t waste time trying to figure out which hardware you use, what platforms you utilize or how IT fits into your business.
The result is rapid solutions to the problems that hold back productivity. With less downtime, your business is better equipped to provide certainty to your own clients, customers or other stakeholders. There is less guessing about when your IT infrastructure will be in working order and when it will be offline.
Another advantage of having a single expert for all your server needs is that they can provide insightful guidance on future IT upgrades you might need down the line. It’s easier to future-proof your business when you’ve got someone by your side who understands the intricacies of your business, managing issues that may arise, both now and in the future.

All three: physical servers in your office, virtual machines on a hypervisor, and servers hosted in Microsoft Azure, AWS or a data centre. Each is priced per server on our pricing page.
It depends on what runs on it. For many offices a Microsoft 365 migration removes the server entirely; for others a new server or a hosted one is cheaper. We lay out both with real numbers before you decide. See cloud migration.
Server backups are a separate layer priced per server, because not every server needs the same protection. We recommend them for every server that holds anything you would miss. See cloud backups.
Rarely. Monitoring, patching and most fixes are done remotely. We come on site for hardware: a failed drive, a new server, a rack that needs tidying.
We tell you plainly, help you plan the replacement, and protect the old system in the meantime. Running an unsupported server is one of the questions insurers now ask about.
Yes. We operate a data center in the Minneapolis area and offer server hosting and colocation: bring your own server, or use a dedicated server or private cloud capacity we provide, with the same team keeping it patched, monitored and backed up.
