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

Whether you’re looking to offload traditional data center responsibilities, enhance your existing on‑prem environment, or begin shifting workloads into the cloud, Winmill can help you find the right balance. We provide secure, high‑availability hosting options, support hybrid architectures, and guide organizations through modernization efforts that leverage Azure and other public cloud platforms. Our team helps you determine what should remain on‑prem, what belongs in the cloud, and how to ensure continuity, resilience, and efficient operations every step of the way.

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.

Cloud Hosting & Hybrid Infrastructure Options

Modern organizations rarely operate in a single environment. Winmill helps you evaluate and implement the right mix of Public Cloud, Private Cloud, and Hybrid Cloud so your applications remain secure, scalable, and cost‑effective — wherever they run.

Public Cloud

Public Cloud platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure offer an ever‑expanding set of managed services designed for built‑in security, scalability, redundancy, and uptime. Whether you need fully managed services or traditional virtual server instances, Winmill helps you navigate these options and design a cloud architecture that meets performance, compliance, and budget requirements.

Private Cloud

For organizations that need microservices‑ready infrastructure but require full control over their computing stack, a Private Cloud may be the best fit. Winmill can build a Private Cloud environment on‑premises or within a hosted facility, delivering the benefits of service‑level architecture, built‑in redundancy, and high availability — without sacrificing control.

Hybrid Cloud

Hybrid Cloud environments blend Public and Private Cloud so sensitive data and workloads stay isolated while less‑sensitive applications leverage the elasticity of the public cloud. Winmill designs Hybrid Cloud solutions that balance security, flexibility, and efficiency — enabling you to run each workload in the environment best suited to it.
