Alerio Technology Group

Managed IT for businesses in Denver and nearby cities comes from Alerio Technology Group. The firm says it works as a virtual IT department for small and medium-sized companies, and it either maintains a client's existing equipment on site or hosts the client's systems on its own enterprise-class platform. It also serves selected areas beyond Colorado. The firm says its managed services are designed to reduce a client's costs, increase its profits and reduce its business risks, and it presents the work as a way to focus a business on running itself rather than its technology.

Backup and disaster recovery

Backup work uses tapeless systems, and the firm works with each client to balance the cost of backup against the time it takes to recover. Recovery planning goes further: Alerio helps a business work out exactly how to use its backups and what steps will get it operating again after a problem. The firm says that a temporary setback should not become a permanent failure for a company.

Hosted email, phone systems and cloud

Clients who want to stop running their own email server can use hosted email with local support, which sits between in-house servers and public cloud. Phone systems are offered on-premise or in the cloud, and the firm points to the benefit of a single provider for all of a company's technology. The cloud side covers infrastructure hosted by the firm, both public and private cloud environments, and assessments and planning of a client's technology before changes are made.

Help desk, administration and security

Help desk support, onsite administration and fully managed private cloud arrangements make up the outsourced services. Security work covers networks and physical premises, and the firm says the convergence of physical security and IT has shaped its approach. It offers protection against external attack for networks, facilities, staff, assets and data, with cost-effective measures that it chooses using the latest features available.
