Hear from Our Customers
IT Support Santa Clara County
You’re not scrambling to recover files when PG&E shuts off power during fire season. Cloud backup means your data stays safe even if you need to evacuate from Bear Creek Road with minutes’ notice.
Remote work actually works. Video calls don’t freeze mid-presentation. VPN connections stay stable. Your team accesses files from home offices in the Santa Cruz Mountains as reliably as if they were in a downtown San Jose office building.
Security threats get neutralized before they reach your inbox. Ransomware attacks that target small businesses get blocked automatically. Phishing emails never make it to your team. Your client data stays protected, meeting California’s strict CCPA requirements without constant worry.
Most importantly, technology stops being the bottleneck. You focus on serving clients and growing revenue while monitoring systems catch problems before they cause downtime.
Lexington IT Management Company
Red Box Business Solutions has spent over two decades helping businesses throughout Santa Clara County and Contra Costa County solve complex technology challenges. We’ve worked with more than 400 companies, from healthcare practices managing HIPAA compliance to manufacturers needing production systems that never fail.
We understand what makes Lexington unique. Remote professionals working from mountain homes near Lexington Reservoir need enterprise-grade reliability despite challenging infrastructure. Limited local connectivity options and wildfire risk create IT requirements that valley businesses never face.
Our team includes engineers who’ve designed disaster recovery systems for Silicon Valley tech companies and implemented secure remote access for distributed teams. We bring that expertise to small and medium businesses who need sophisticated solutions without enterprise budgets.
Unlike national providers who treat you like a ticket number, we build relationships. When you call, you’re talking to someone who already knows your systems, your industry challenges, and your business goals.
Our IT Services Process
We start with a comprehensive IT HealthCheck that reveals exactly where your current setup creates risk. This assessment examines network security, backup reliability, disaster recovery readiness, and compliance gaps. You get a detailed report showing specific vulnerabilities and prioritized recommendations.
Implementation typically takes three to four weeks. We deploy monitoring agents across your network, configure cloud backup systems, implement security controls, and document your entire infrastructure. This happens during normal business hours with minimal disruption—most clients continue working without interruption.
Then continuous protection begins. Our systems monitor your network 24/7, catching issues before they impact productivity. Automated patch management keeps software current without breaking critical applications. Monthly performance reports show exactly how your technology is performing against agreed benchmarks.
Quarterly strategy sessions ensure your IT roadmap aligns with business growth. We discuss upcoming projects, budget planning, and technology investments that support your goals rather than just maintaining what exists today.

What are managed IT services and how can they benefit my Lexington business?
Managed IT services provide comprehensive technology support through a flat monthly fee instead of paying per incident. We monitor your systems 24/7, maintain security, manage backups, provide help desk support, and plan strategic improvements.
For Lexington businesses, this means professional-grade IT without hiring full-time staff. You get enterprise security tools, disaster recovery systems, and expert support that would cost $80,000+ annually to build internally. Most clients see 40-60% reduction in total IT costs compared to break-fix approaches.
The real benefit is eliminating technology as a business constraint. Your team stays productive, your data stays protected, and you can focus on revenue-generating work instead of troubleshooting computer problems.
How much do managed IT services cost in Santa Clara County?
Most small businesses in Santa Clara County invest $150-250 per user per month for comprehensive managed IT services. A company with 15 employees typically pays $2,250-3,750 monthly, covering 24/7 monitoring, security management, help desk support, backup systems, and strategic consulting.
This pricing includes enterprise-grade security tools, cloud services, regular maintenance, and unlimited support calls. When you compare this to hiring internal IT staff (average $75,000+ annually plus benefits) or paying break-fix rates ($150-200 per hour with unpredictable costs), managed services typically reduce total IT spending by 30-50%.
We provide transparent pricing after understanding your specific needs during a free assessment. Factors affecting cost include number of users, security requirements, compliance needs, and infrastructure complexity.
What should I look for when choosing a managed IT provider in Lexington CA?
Look for providers with specific experience serving businesses in challenging infrastructure environments like the Santa Cruz Mountains. Ask about their disaster recovery capabilities, redundant connectivity solutions, and experience with remote workforce support.
Verify they understand California compliance requirements, particularly CCPA data privacy regulations and industry-specific standards like HIPAA. Request specific response time guarantees in writing—vague promises of “fast service” aren’t sufficient when technology problems cost you money every minute.
Check certifications from major technology vendors (Microsoft Partner, Cisco, CompTIA Security+) and ask for references from similar-sized businesses. Most importantly, ensure they provide proactive monitoring rather than just reactive break-fix support.
Do managed IT services include cybersecurity protection?
Yes, comprehensive cybersecurity is central to our managed services. We implement multi-layered protection including next-generation firewalls, endpoint detection and response systems, email security filtering, and continuous threat monitoring.
This protection goes far beyond basic antivirus software. We deploy the same enterprise-grade security tools that Fortune 500 companies use, scaled appropriately for small and medium businesses. Regular vulnerability assessments identify weaknesses before attackers exploit them. Employee security training helps your team recognize phishing attempts and social engineering attacks.
We also handle security incident response, compliance documentation for CCPA and industry regulations, and regular security reporting. This comprehensive approach protects against ransomware, data breaches, and the sophisticated attacks increasingly targeting smaller businesses.
Can managed IT services help with cloud migration and management?
Absolutely. We help businesses throughout Santa Clara County migrate to cloud platforms like Microsoft 365, manage ongoing cloud operations, and optimize cloud spending. This includes email migration, file server transitions, application moves, and secure access configuration.
Cloud solutions are particularly valuable for Lexington businesses with remote workers or multiple locations. Your team accesses files and applications from anywhere with internet connectivity, maintaining productivity even during power outages or evacuation situations.
We handle the technical complexity—data migration, security configuration, user training, and ongoing management. You get cloud benefits (flexibility, scalability, disaster recovery) without the headaches of managing it yourself or worrying about data security.
What is the response time for IT support with managed services?
We guarantee 15-minute response times for critical issues affecting business operations. This means a live technician contacts you within 15 minutes of your support request, not an automated acknowledgment email.
For high-priority issues that don’t stop operations completely, we respond within one hour. Standard requests receive same-day attention during business hours. Our monitoring systems often catch and resolve problems before you notice them—we average 98% first-call resolution rate.
When remote support isn’t sufficient, we provide on-site service throughout the Lexington area. Our local engineering team can reach properties along Bear Creek Road and near Lexington Reservoir typically within two to four hours for urgent situations requiring hands-on intervention.
