Case Studies

When Lannan Foundation closed operations in Santa Fe and set up new operations in New York City at the end of 2024, Macktez was given an opportunity to help design technical solutions for its new headquarters in the historic and landmarked Bayard-Condict building (the only building in NYC designed by renowned architect Louis Sullivan) in downtown Manhattan.

Macktez was engaged to architect a ground-up, zero-compromise infrastructure covering wired networking, wireless, compute, and storage. Every layer was designed with redundancy as a first-order constraint: redundant power, controllers, chassis, and paths throughout. The result is an environment that has delivered zero infrastructure downtime since deployment, with real-world internal file transfer throughput of 5–7 Gbps.  This performance is comparable to the local NVMe storage of a modern high-end workstation, delivered over a fully shared, enterprise-grade SAN.

With a blend of Mac and Windows devices across multiple departments and international geographical locations, our client needed an efficient way to handle user authentication and device management from a central platform.

Macktez improved database accessibility and functionality for Megan Fox Kelley without sacrificing her clients’ privacy, or brand aesthetics.

After a detailed initial assessment to understand Fair Harbor’s needs, goals, and budget, Macktez recommended a curated set of subscriptions to help manage various aspects of operations.

As a trusted partner to a technically sophisticated company, Macktez has helped to expand Sonic Union’s network capacity, upgrade its server infrastructure, virtualize essential applications, design the network for a new studio, and, crucially, develop and implement data redundancy and internet failover for a shift in storage practices.

The Yale Club of NYC contacted us to consult on the design and installation of a video conferencing solution that would fit seamlessly into their aesthetic.

Our client was growing fast without a proper directory manager or identity provider. We worked with them to implement a cloud-based identity management solution to prioritize their security, growth, and self-sufficiency.
