About

Fortress IT is s an  Information Technology consulting and integration company that specializes in designing and implementing highly-available, secure, fault-tolerant trusted computing infrastructures.

Our mission is to deliver enterprise-level computer and network technology, solutions and best practices to businesses of all sizes -- at a price point that won't break the bank!

We believe that the required underlying hardware and software components on which the infrastructure is built and which support the ultimate goal of providing reliable, “always on” access to a company's digital assets must be properly selected and engineered in from the ground up, and not some "bolted-on" afterthought, and that just as importantly they should be available to business of all sizes -- not just those with lots of money and big budgets.

It is our passionate belief in this that our mission is based on and at its core, the very reason for our existence.
