Managed IT That Proves Itself Every Quarter
LayerLogix managed IT services give Texas businesses 24/7 monitoring, US-based help desk, patch management, a full security stack (PAM + MDR + Microsoft 365), and backup — all for a flat monthly per-user rate. We act as your complete IT department for less than the cost of one full-time IT employee. As your managed service provider we take responsibility for the whole stack: endpoints, servers, network hardware, identity in Microsoft Entra ID, and the SaaS applications your team signs into every day. Automated monitoring runs 24/7 and raises tickets on its own, and those tickets are worked by our Texas-based engineers during business hours with after-hours emergency response for outages and active security incidents. Outsourced IT only earns its keep when it is measurable, so every engagement includes response targets written by severity level, restore-tested backups with dated results, a live asset and license inventory, and a quarterly review where a vCIO maps the next twelve months of technology spend against your actual business plans. Whether you have no internal IT at all or a stretched one-person department that needs a co-managed partner, the model flexes: we take the layers you would rather not staff and leave you the ones you want to keep.
What We Offer
Comprehensive solutions tailored for Houston-area businesses
24/7 Monitoring & Responsive Support
Automated monitoring watches your entire environment around the clock and opens tickets on its own. Issues are caught and worked before they turn into a morning nobody wanted.
Help Desk Services
A Texas-based help desk with response targets written by severity level. Your people get an answer from someone who knows your environment, not a script.
Proactive Maintenance
Scheduled maintenance, updates and patching on a published calendar with approved windows. Problems get prevented on a Tuesday night instead of discovered on a Monday morning.
Network Management
Complete management of routers, switches, firewalls and wireless — documented, monitored, and kept on supported firmware — so connectivity is something you stop thinking about.
Security Management
Security built into the base service, not sold back to you after an incident: endpoint protection, firewall management, identity controls and threat monitoring, aligned to SOC 2 and the frameworks your industry answers to.
Vendor Management
We coordinate with your technology vendors so you don't have to — one accountable provider instead of a separate number for every system, and one record of what each vendor was told.
Co-Managed IT for In-House Teams
Not every business wants to hand over everything. Co-managed IT lets internal staff keep the work they are best at while an outside managed service provider takes the layers that are hard to cover alone: after-hours escalation, patch and vulnerability cycles, backup verification, and second-tier help on network and identity problems. You keep ownership of priorities and vendor relationships. We supply the tooling, documentation, and depth that a one- or two-person internal team cannot realistically cover on its own.
Onboarding and Provider Transition
Switching providers is where most outsourced IT arrangements go wrong, so we treat the first 30 days as a project with a written plan. We inventory every device, license, domain, and admin credential, document the environments nobody wrote down, take proper ownership of DNS and your Microsoft tenant, and stand up monitoring and backup before touching anything else. You get a cutover schedule, a named point of contact, and a rollback path instead of a surprise outage on day one.
Backup, Recovery and Business Continuity
Backups are only real if they restore. Every protected workload gets an automated schedule, offsite and immutable copies so ransomware cannot encrypt your last good version, and periodic test restores with dated results you can hand to an auditor or a cyber insurance carrier. We set recovery point and recovery time objectives per system, because a file share and a line-of-business database do not deserve the same answer, and we rehearse the failover path before you need it.

Our Process
Managed IT, from your side of the screen
Most providers describe managed IT in tools and acronyms. This is what it looks like to the people who use it every day — and what you can hold us to.
- 01 · The portal
One place to ask, one owner per ticket
Staff submit from the portal, email, or a call; either way it lands in one queue with a severity, an owner, and the response target from your agreement showing next to it. No "did anyone see my email?"
Response targets are written by severity level, not one blended average.
Client portal · tickets- VPN drops for remote staffCritical · 15 min target
- New hire laptop provisioningStandard · 1–4 hrs
- Printer offline, front deskResolved · root cause noted
Every ticket shows who owns it, its severity, and the response target written into your agreement.
- 02 · Monitoring
The system files tickets before your people notice
Automated monitoring runs 24/7 across endpoints, servers, network gear and identity. When something drifts — a failed backup, a disk filling, a sign-in from somewhere it should not be — it opens the ticket itself.
Alerts are worked by Texas-based engineers in business hours, with an after-hours emergency path for outages and active security incidents.
Monitoring · automated, 24/7Nightly backup job failed — file server
Detected by the monitoring agent overnight. Ticket opened automatically and assigned before anyone logged in.
- Alert raised by the agent, not by a user
- Ticket created and routed by severity
- Worked by an engineer in business hours — or the after-hours path for an outage
- 03 · Patching
Updates on a calendar you can see
Operating systems, third-party applications and firmware are patched on a published schedule with an approved maintenance window. You know when reboots happen and why, and you can see what is pending.
Patch compliance is reported against your agreement, not asserted.
Patch & maintenance calendarMTWTFSSMaintenance window: Tuesdays, after hours. Reboots are scheduled, announced, and approved — not sprung on a Monday morning.
- Windows & Server OS
- Third-party apps
- Firmware & network gear
- 04 · Backup
Backups are only real when they restore
Every protected system gets an automated schedule, offsite and immutable copies ransomware cannot encrypt, and periodic test restores. The report shows a dated result per system — not a green checkmark that means "the job ran."
Recovery point and recovery time targets are set per system, because a file share and a database do not deserve the same answer.
Backup · restore verificationSystem Copies Test restore File server Onsite · offsite · immutable Verified Line-of-business DB Onsite · offsite · immutable Verified Microsoft 365 Cloud-to-cloud Verified Each system has its own recovery point and recovery time target, and a dated restore result you can hand to an auditor or your cyber insurer.
- 05 · Strategy
A quarterly review that plans, not just reports
A vCIO walks you through what changed, what is at risk, what is reaching end of life, and what the next twelve months of technology spend should look like against your actual business plans.
The inventory behind the review is live, so decisions are made on the environment as it is — not as it was documented three years ago.
Quarterly vCIO review- Roadmap · Workstation lifecycle: units reaching end of warranty next quarter
- Risk · MFA coverage, admin account review, patch compliance — reviewed against your agreement
- Budget · Twelve-month technology plan mapped to your actual business plans
A live asset and license inventory sits behind every review — so the numbers in the meeting are the numbers in the environment.
If your current provider cannot show you a screen like each of these, you are paying for reactive break-fix wrapped in a monthly invoice.
The same 2:47 AM alert, two very different mornings
Managed IT isn't about fixing things faster. It's about catching them while you sleep — before they ever become an outage.
A nightly backup job fails silently. No one is watching the alert.
Our RMM flags the failed backup and anomalous encryption. An alert fires instantly.
Ransomware begins encrypting the file server — completely unnoticed.
The on-call engineer is paged; the affected host is auto-isolated from the network.
Staff arrive to locked workstations. The downtime clock starts ticking.
Threat contained. A clean restore is already underway — with no lateral spread.
Operations stop. Revenue and customer trust bleed away by the hour.
The business opens on time. Downtime ≈ 0. Data loss: none.
We don't sell point fixes. We run your whole stack.
Most providers patch one layer and leave the rest to you. LayerLogix operates the entire stack as one platform — strategy down to the last endpoint.
vCIO Strategy
A technology roadmap and budget aligned to your business goals — reviewed quarterly.
Security — PAM + Zero-Trust
Default-deny, least-privilege, ransomware-resistant. The layer attackers hit first.
24/7 Monitoring (NOC)
Eyes on glass around the clock — issues caught and fixed before you feel them.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Immutable backups, tested restores. Recovery point measured in minutes, not days.
Network & Connectivity
Resilient wired, wireless, and SD-WAN that simply stays up.
Endpoints & Users
Every device managed, patched, and protected — every person supported.
= one managed platform, one accountable partner
