Data Center & IT Support

But our IT Guy Handles That…

In this age of specialization, businesses are laser focused on their core mission and outsource just about everything else. One of the easiest functions to move out of your office – both literally and figuratively – is your data center.

Applying security patches, monitoring your servers 24/7/365, guaranteeing uptime, monitoring against security breaches, and complying with increasingly complex audits and security requirements… these are probably not part of your company’s mission statement. And at the end of the day, even if you don’t mind hosting your own data center, it’s likely that you simply don’t have the bandwidth, or the funds, to provide the level of security and redundancy that your customers, investors and auditors demand.

The Winmill Difference

If it’s time to outsource some or all of your data center functions, it’s time to call Winmill. Our Data Center Services are perfect for organizations that want to simply move their existing server infrastructure from their own facility to ours. Or for organizations that want to maintain some local infrastructure, but bolster that with offsite backup or disaster recovery. Or for organizations that want to host websites or applications in our inexpensive, shared (but highly secure) environment. On the other hand, if you are ready to take advantage of inherent cloud capabilities such as microservices and autoscaling, then you are probably ready for AWS or Azure, and you should talk to us about our Cloud Services.

Managed IT Services

If your company is located in the New York Metro area, you can take advantage of Winmill’s Outsourced IT Services. We are the virtual IT Department for dozens of companies, all of whom have realized that they can save money by hiring Winmill to tend to their technology while they tend to their actual business. Our staff is knowledgeable, friendly and local! Call us today to find out how Winmill can support all of your IT needs.

Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity

Hurricanes. Blackouts. Floods. Ransom hackers. It used to be easy to say "that will never happen to us," but chances are you've suffered at least one disaster in the last five years. And you never know when the next one will hit. Is your organization protected? If you were shut out of your building today, could you be up and running tomorrow?

Winmill can help you to be prepared for the day we all hope never comes. We can back up your local server with automatic, cloud-based backups. We can host your primary and disaster recovery sites. Don't leave the reliability of your infrastructure to chance. Leave it to Winmill.

Smart Procurement

If you ask a waiter what’s good, invariably they will point to the most expensive item on the menu. You will likely get the same kind of answer if you ask an IT sales person what you should buy. Don’t fall for it! Our technical team will help you to decide what hardware and software you really need by carefully considering your technical, business and budgetary requirements. Because we partner with dozens of vendors, we can probably get you the best price; but if we can’t, we’ll engage one of our partners who can. It’s not just procurement; it’s smart procurement.
