Managed Network Solutions
Trust Santa Barbara IT Group to deliver a fully-managed network solution that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of luxury residential and business environments.
Key Services:
- Advanced Network Design and Consultation: Every successful network starts with a thoughtful design. We begin each engagement with an on-site consultation to understand how you live and work — from multi-zone media systems and home offices to guest access and outbuilding coverage.
Our engineers develop a custom architecture built for your deployment’s layout, uptime, and bandwidth requirements, and security priorities.
We account for local factors like utility power reliability, Internet service provider intermittency, and wireless interference — applying proven design standards that have made SBIT Group a trusted IT network authority throughout Santa Barbara and Montecito for over 20 years. - Managed Network Infrastructure: Once your network is designed, we deploy and maintain it using enterprise-grade hardware and a Software-Defined Networking (SDN) foundation. This gives you centralized control, intelligent monitoring, and resilient performance that scales easily as your technology evolves.
- Continuous Monitoring and Secure Management: All managed networks are actively monitored for uptime, performance, and security. We use encrypted management protocols (SNMPv3 and SSH) to oversee every device safely and efficiently. When performance changes or anomalies appear, our team responds immediately — often before you notice an issue.
- Advanced Firewall and Threat Protection: Firewalls are configured to enterprise-grade standards, and customized for each environment. Continuous patching, intrusion detection, and automated blocking defend against evolving threats — whether they originate from the internet or internal devices.
- High-Availability Design: Power and connectivity in coastal California can be unpredictable. That’s why we build in redundancy at every level: backup power systems, end-to-end Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) infrastructure, and optional fiber, cable, or Starlink failover. Our goal is uninterrupted connectivity, even in challenging or disaster conditions.
- Optimized Performance and Quality of Service: We fine-tune networks for real-world performance — ensuring smooth streaming, crystal-clear video calls, and reliable smart home operation. Intelligent QoS and VLAN segmentation keep your most important data prioritized for optimal responsiveness.
- Backups and Detailed Documentation: We take multiple steps to ensure that every network configuration we manage is fully backed up and restorable in the event of hardware failure, power loss, or other unexpected catastrophic events. Beyond that, we meticulously document every device, setting, and connection within your environment. This comprehensive documentation not only gives you full visibility into your investment, but also ensures our technicians can provide fast, accurate support whenever it’s needed — with zero guesswork and complete transparency.
- Beyond the Network: Managed Security for Workstations and Cloud: Your network’s perimeter is only the first piece of the IT security puzzle.
As your trusted source for secure technology solutions, SBIT Group also protects your computer workstations (macOS, Windows, and Linux) and cloud ecosystems (Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace).Our Managed Security for Workstations solution includes proactive patching, next-generation antivirus with EDR, and encrypted cloud backup — ensuring every endpoint is continuously protected.
Our Managed Cloud Security options add AI-powered threat detection, phishing defense, and automated cloud-to-cloud backup for critical data and email continuity.
Together, these solutions form a comprehensive IT security and reliability foundation for how you work, communicate, and operate every day.
