Run it.Secure it.Prove it recovers.
For more than two decades Storcom has designed, delivered and managed cloud, backup, disaster recovery, security and infrastructure, and now AI security and governance too. One accountable team answers for all of it.
Products and services
Seven practices. One accountable team.
Buy the products and run them yourself, hand the day-to-day to us, or mix the two. Either way, one team designs it, deploys it and answers the phone when it breaks.
AI security and governance
An inventory of the AI tools already in use, a policy people can follow, and controls that enforce it.
You can say which AI tools touch which data.
AI enablement and automation
GPU servers, storage and data protection sized for AI workloads, plus automated recovery testing.
The pilot runs on something built for it.
Managed cybersecurity
Managed EDR, managed firewall and continuous risk scanning for teams without security headcount.
Someone is watching at 3 a.m., and it is not you.
Backup and disaster recovery
Immutable off-site copies and failover built to a stated RTO and RPO, then tested with a written report.
You have restored from it, on purpose, recently.
Infrastructure
Storage, server and network refreshes compared across vendors and sized to your data.
The refresh is priced three ways before you sign.
Cloud and hybrid cloud
Hosted private cloud, Azure and AWS, with each workload placed where it costs least to run well.
The monthly bill has an explanation.
Managed IT services
Monitoring, patching, testing and 24×7×365 support for the infrastructure you hand over.
One team answers for uptime, in writing.
When IT teams call us
- AIStaff are using AI tools nobody approved.We inventory what is in use, help you write a policy people can follow, and tune the controls you already own to enforce it.See AI security and governance
- CapacityThe team is too lean to run all of it.Managed EDR, managed firewall, managed recovery and CrowdStrike exposure management give you specialist coverage without specialist headcount.See managed IT services
- RenewalYour VMware renewal quote jumped.We model three paths: stay and right-size, move to our hosted private cloud, or re-platform. You get pricing on all three before you commit.Compare VMware alternatives
- RecoveryThe backups run, but nobody has restored from them.We test against a real RTO and RPO, document the runbook, and assign a service delivery manager who owns the failover.See managed recovery
- RefreshThe array or the servers are out of support.Modern storage checks every I/O for ransomware-like behavior and flags it in under a minute. Resilience arrives with the refresh.Plan a storage refresh
Every engagement starts with a discovery call
See what the call covers- 1
Discover
A discovery call about your environment, your goals and what is driving the project.
- 2
Design
Architecture and a roadmap built to your workloads, recovery objectives and budget cycle.
- 3
Implement
Procurement, migration and deployment, without re-platforming applications that work.
- 4
Manage
Monitoring, testing and 24×7×365 support against an agreed service level.

DR and business continuity for a Chicago architectural firm
A large Chicago-based architectural firm needed round-the-clock operations as more projects started abroad, and its aging systems had to be replaced. Storcom sized a DR and business continuity solution, replicated the firm’s data to a Storcom data center in Chicago’s western suburbs, and built a DR runbook that the firm tests on a schedule.

Industries we know
The compliance questions, budget cycles and uptime pressures are different in each, so the design is too.
Questions we hear first
What is shadow AI?
Shadow AI is the use of AI tools that IT has not reviewed or approved, often on personal accounts. It matters because company data can leave in prompts and uploads with no record. Storcom finds it using the endpoint, firewall and cloud telemetry you already collect.
What does managed EDR include?
Managed endpoint detection and response (EDR) pairs an EDR agent on every laptop and server with people who watch, investigate and act on its alerts around the clock. With Storcom, that includes agent deployment and policy tuning, 24×7 monitoring and response on CrowdStrike Falcon or Arctic Wolf, containment such as isolating an infected host, and reporting your team can act on. Storcom support is available 24×7×365 if you need to talk to someone.
What is a Storcom discovery call?
A discovery call is the first step of every Storcom engagement: a no-cost conversation about what you run today, what is changing and what you need to protect. You leave with a plain answer about whether Storcom can help and what the next step would be. Storcom does not run scans or assessments as a first step.
What changed with VMware licensing after Broadcom bought VMware?
After Broadcom completed its acquisition of VMware in late 2023, it ended perpetual licenses in favor of subscriptions, consolidated products into bundles such as VMware Cloud Foundation and VMware vSphere Foundation, and moved to per-core pricing with minimum core counts. Many of the IT teams we talk to have seen renewal quotes rise sharply as a result. Storcom models three paths before you renew: stay and right-size, move to a hosted private cloud, or re-platform, with pricing on each.
What is the difference between DRaaS and backup?
Backup keeps copies of data you can restore, but restoring whole systems takes time and needs hardware to restore onto. Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) replicates servers to a ready recovery environment where they start in a planned order, so the business runs there until the primary site is back. Most organizations need both: backup for retention and file-level restores, DRaaS for the applications that cannot wait. Storcom offers both on Veeam, with Zerto where continuous replication is needed.
When should we refresh a storage array?
Plan a refresh when the array is approaching end of support, when its support renewal costs more than the array is worth to you, when capacity or performance can no longer keep up, or when it lacks features you now need, such as immutable snapshots and ransomware detection. Start before the support end date so the replacement can be budgeted, migrated and tested without a gap in coverage. Storcom compares Dell, HPE, Everpure and IBM FlashSystem options against your data and workloads.
