Senior technical expertise across every layer of your stack.
Four practice areas — technology consulting, physical buildout, ongoing management, and rapid deployment for temporary environments — spanning every layer of your infrastructure, from strategy through teardown.
Technology Consulting
Project-based engagements across six practice areas.
Identifying, defining, and solving business challenges with technology — scoped as standalone projects or as the architecture phase before ongoing management.
Strategy & Advisory
Initial assessments, fractional CTO engagements, and disaster recovery planning — the strategic foundation every organization needs before making major technology decisions.
AI & Automation
AI readiness assessments, tooling strategy, workflow automation, and organizational adoption planning for teams ready to operationalize AI.
Cloud
Azure architecture, cloud storage strategy, and hybrid infrastructure design — connecting your cloud environment to your business goals with minimal disruption.
Identity & Security
Single sign-on, managed devices, and access rules that follow your people — built on JumpCloud, Microsoft Entra, or Okta, with security assessments to match.
Networking
Switching, routing, firewall, and Wi-Fi infrastructure designed and engineered for demanding enterprise environments.
Compute & Storage
Dell PowerEdge, Synology, and VMware — on-premises server and storage infrastructure designed for high availability, virtualization, and demanding workloads.
Managed Services
Your managed service provider, at a senior level.
For most of our clients, Macktez is the primary managed service provider (MSP) — running identity, endpoints, servers, cloud, network, backup, and security day to day on a monthly retainer, with help desk and user support through Managed Support.
Identity Management
Managed directory administration — MFA, SSO, and authentication logging on JumpCloud, Microsoft Entra, or Okta.
Endpoint Management
Automated patching, antivirus, asset tracking, and security-policy enforcement across your device fleet.
Network Management
Continuous infrastructure monitoring, uptime tracking, and health verification — remote and back-end.
Server Management
Remote monitoring, security patching, health alerts, and backup verification for on-premises and cloud servers.
Backup Management
Backup monitoring, integrity verification, and cloud backup management for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
Managed Support
Hands-on, day-to-day help — help desk, onboarding, and device support — with access to every level of our team.
Buildout & Installation
The physical build behind a network that works.
A strong architecture is only as good as the installation that delivers it. Cabling pulled to spec, racks built for airflow, access points placed by survey — the hands-on work that turns a design into working infrastructure.
Structured Cabling & Low-Voltage
Cat6/6A copper and fiber backbone, patch panels, keystone termination, and cable management — pulled to spec, labeled at both ends, and documented.
Server Room & Rack Buildout
Racks, PDUs, UPS, cooling, and cable management built for airflow, redundancy, and serviceability — assembled and validated before anything goes live.
Wireless & Network Installation
Access point placement driven by site survey, switch installation and configuration, and live network standup. Coverage and capacity engineered for the space.
Security & Access Control
IP camera systems, door access control, and alarm integration — installed on the network, segmented properly, and managed alongside your infrastructure.
Conference Rooms & Presentation Spaces
Displays, video conferencing, microphones, and control systems for meeting rooms, boardrooms, and all-hands spaces — engineered so the technology disappears.
Audio Systems
Sound done properly, at any tier — multi-room Sonos for easy coverage, or a reference-grade system built around McIntosh amplification and audiophile loudspeakers.
Ephemeral Infrastructure
Infrastructure that shows up, performs, and disappears.
Some environments only exist for a night, a weekend, or a season — and they still need infrastructure that doesn't blink. Production-grade networks, compute, and Wi-Fi designed, deployed, and torn down on whatever timeline the moment demands.
Event Network Design & Deployment
Reliable, secure networks for galas, fundraisers, and corporate events — including the payment and registration systems that can't fail when they're needed most.
Festival & Large-Venue Connectivity
High-density, multi-zone connectivity across large outdoor and indoor venues — point-to-point links, distributed Wi-Fi, and the backbone to tie a whole campus together.
Temporary Office Infrastructure
Full network, Wi-Fi, and cloud connectivity for swing space, an interim headquarters, or a project office — stood up fast and removed cleanly when the lease is up.
Production & Broadcast Support
Networks for film, television, and live production — secure, high-throughput, and built around the realities of a set or a control room.
Design, Deploy & Teardown
The full lifecycle as a single capability: rapid design, fast deployment, on-site support during the event, and a clean, accountable teardown with full asset recovery.
How it works
Most engagements span more than one area.
Infrastructure, identity, security, and cloud are not independent decisions. A cloud migration shapes your identity architecture. A network redesign informs your security posture. An onboarding workflow depends on your device management platform. We approach each engagement with that interconnection in mind.
Many clients engage Macktez on a single focused initiative and expand the scope as the relationship develops. Others bring us in as a fractional CTO or CISO from the start, which naturally surfaces the full picture. Either way, the goal is the same: infrastructure strategy that holds together across every layer of your environment.
