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.
