The Basics Founded in 2010 by CEO David Litt, Blue Star Technology is headquartered in Bloomingdale, IL. The IT Managed Services and Security Provider boasts 42 employees and nearly 100 clients. Cited by Inc. magazine as one of the 5000 best-run, privately held companies in America, the company is highly regarded for its collective technology intelligence, business acumen and unparalleled customer service. Blue Star takes pride in its leading- edge, transformational, hybrid technology that is custom-tailored to the everyday realities of SMB and enterprise clients alike. The Services Platform Managed IT Services Fundamental services, basic and advanced, are delivered with a flair for accelerating client efficiency and integrated smoothness. Observing and remediating problems before they cut into operational continuity are paramount. Such services include, but are not limited to, deployment of virtualized/cloud environments, application hosting, implementation of wide-ranging security, management and monitoring of infrastructure, network fixes and helpdesk support. Special Solutions (a sampling) Replacement Mechanism Blue Star offers a highly contemporary and no-nonsense alternative to companies trapped in the unproductive cycle of hiring new or replacement IT personnel who routinely can leave a company knowledge-exposed while straining staffing budgets through salary, benefits and legal compliance. Hiring Blue Star instead – as a service for one position or a variety of IT positions – assures top-tier knowledge, reduction in cost, blending with staff and a flexible platform for personnel ramp-up as needed. Affordable Backup/Disaster Recovery and Data Protection (BDR) When companies, particularly SMBs, consider the cost of bandwidth and the need to maximize legacy investments, the cost of providing business continuity and data protection can be prohibitive. Tape backups are obsolete. Yet, the need to guard against downtime is critical for success. Blue Star comes to the rescue with its affordable BDR solution powered by Shadow Protect software, enabling onsite system-and-data replication with rapid failover to backup production to keep workers productive while restores are initiated. This scalable solution, carefully managed and tested, can be extended to a virtualized/ cloud environment for even deeper redundancy.
