Common Cloud Storage Problems We Solve
🖥️
Aging On-Premise Servers
Old servers fail, usually at the worst time. We move you to the cloud before yours does.
🏠
Remote Worker File Access
Employees need to access files from home, on the road, or from client sites. Cloud storage enables secure access from anywhere on any device.
⚠️
Data Loss Risk from Hardware Failures
Hard drives fail. Every one of them, eventually. With cloud storage and automated backups, a dead drive doesn't take your files with it.
📧
Collaboration Bottlenecks
Email-based file sharing creates version confusion and wastes time. Cloud collaboration tools enable real-time co-editing and instant sharing.
💰
Rising Hardware Maintenance Costs
On-site servers need upkeep, cooling, power and a replacement every few years. Moving to the cloud cuts most of that out.
📋
Compliance Requirements
Compliance rules like PCI-DSS and SOC 2 spell out how data has to be handled. We set up your cloud storage to support those requirements.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. In most cases it's more secure than a server in your back closet. Azure and AWS spend billions a year on security, way more than any small business could on its own.
Small offices (under 500 GB) take one to two weeks. Bigger setups with several terabytes can take four to eight weeks. We run your old and new systems side by side during the move so your team keeps working.
Azure suits businesses that live in Microsoft: Office 365, Active Directory, Windows servers. AWS is great if you need more flexibility and a wider range of services. We look at what you actually use and recommend the one that fits.
Your data is yours. Period. If you ever move to another provider or bring your data back in-house, we'll give you a full export of your files, databases and settings in standard formats. No lock-in, no hostage data.
Client Success
What Our Clients Say
I decided to switch my services to NGT Technology and I have noticed the difference ever since. Not only does Martin offer outstanding customer service in a timely manner, but he has given me peace of mind that my data is secure and that my servers and workstations are always working flawlessly. I would recommend Martin with NGT Technology without reservation.
NGT Technology's reliability for support and information is a great benefit for our company. They do not come in with a 'one-size fits all' solution package. NGT Technology adjusts their services to current needs and configurations specific to what is best for your business.
As a busy dental office, ensuring that we have a reliable IT firm is top priority. With Martin we not only have amazing communication but a great response time. We have never had to wait for any of our technical issues to be resolved. With NGT Technology there are no hidden fees and he will tell you everything up front!
