Kraken is Your Trusted Technology Advisor with Decades of Experience
We are not a big box consulting firm or a huge managed service provider– and we’re proud of it. Kraken is an independent technology advisor, backed by over two decades of real-world experience. When you call us, you won’t reach a freshly certified, overworked entry-level technician. You’ll be connected directly to the system architect who built this website from the ground up using industry-standard tools and cybersecurity techniques.
What We Really Do
You’ve likely heard the term “consultant” when shopping around for services. What does a consultant really do? Here’s what most corporate-level consultants would say: we align technology with the enterprise’s long-term business goals. Or, they’ll say: we optimize digital transformation initiatives and streamline legacy systems. What about this banger: we maximize ROI on cloud architecture to drive operational efficiency and scalable growth. They might even mix all three of those phrases together. We love it when they do that. Because it gives us a chance to cut through the corporate jargon and tell you what we do.
We are an IT consulting firm, which means that we do three major things. We build secure, scalable infrastructure, so your employees can do their jobs without losing their minds; we keep your data on your servers, where it belongs, so you don’t wind up on the evening news; and we save you from spending thousands of dollars on cloud subscriptions you don’t actually need. Kraken doesn’t use corporate double-speak to sound impressive. We build some of the best open source software stacks in the industry, and we’re damn proud of it.
Our Philosophy
We aren’t in the business of selling support contracts. Our purpose is to deliver the infrastructure that keeps your business running. Kraken has worked on all levels of enterprise-grade hardware, from big names like Cisco and Dell, to mini PCs running OPNsense and beige box, purpose-built PBX servers. While others are frantically contacting vendors to bring their clients’ systems back online, we’re watching our clients clock their fifth year of consecutive uptime. We don’t build infrastructure that breaks every time somebody breathes on it the wrong way; we take every precaution, measure every performance improvement, and pass the benefits on to you– so you can just run your business.
That’s our philosophy: we build it right, the first time, and we don’t cut corners.
