MANAGED IT SERVICES.
Managed IT Services | IT Company | Edmonton
Managed IT Services is a proactive approach to network management. Think of this as a comprehensive insurance policy on your car! you don’t sign up for insurance after something happens to your car, you do so when you buy your car. Your car is valuable, your business is much more valuable so help protect your investment by investing in a Managed IT Services agreement. Each plan is carefully tailored to each of our client’s networks. The plan tailored for a law firm will most probably not be a suitable fit for a company in the manufacturing or oil & gas sectors.

K2 is not an IT company, we are a full-scale IT Solutions provider for your convenience. When enrolling for a Managed IT Services plan with K2, it will always be K2 and You!

BACKUP & DISASTER RECOVERY.
Disaster Recovery Plans aka DRPs | IT Company | Edmonton
Not all backup plans are created equally! There are “backups” and there are BACKUPS. Our definition of a backup is an applied system that continuously and safely stores copies of data for either individual file recovery or full server restoration in the event of a disaster, regardless of the cause.
A Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is a full backup and recovery system that allows us to recover a full server within less than an hour in many cases. Our unique approach to DRPs employs best-in-class backup software and actual disaster-proof storage systems complemented by a secure encrypted cloud backup.
Business continuity should not be taken lightly. Ask yourself the following questions:
- What will happen if our servers crash?
- What is our disaster recovery plan?
- Are we covered against ransomware?
- How quickly can we get back online after a disaster?
- How much will each hour of downtime cost?
Those are just to list a few. The actual list is much longer and is designed not to generate fear of the unknown. It is designed to prepare you for the unknown. Our job is to think about almost every possible scenario and plan a resolution plan so you don’t have to worry about the safety and integrity of your data. K2 and You all the way to future growth!

Seeing your laptop’s battery capacity shrink can be frustrating. But there are several things you can do to increase the time you can go without needing to plug it in.

Top 5 Mobile Device Attacks You Need to Watch Out For
Smartphones and tablets are often the preferred device for communications, web searching, and accessing many types of apps. They’re more portable and can be used from anywhere.

As hackers realize they’re holding many of the same sensitive information and app access as PCs, they’ve been creating mobile malware and other exploits to breach [...]
