Technology consulting for growth-stage companies

More sites, more scrutiny.
More riding on IT.

Enterprise needs arrive before enterprise budgets, and before your team can handle them alone. Dark Networks was built for that gap. Enterprise capability, sized for your project, ready when you are.

Where we come in

Growth looks different from every seat.

Operations

A new site has an opening date.

We design, install, and configure the network, model wireless coverage before the first access point goes up, and validate the results before we leave. Whether the site is a new build, a renovation, or a relocation, we schedule every milestone back from your opening date.

Finance

Microsoft 365 and cloud spend keeps climbing, and the hardware is getting old.

We compare the licenses you pay for with what your people use, and your cloud bill with the workloads behind it. We rank hardware for replacement by risk and end of support. You get one plan with the budget and timing attached, and we source what it calls for competitively.

IT

Your team is stretched, and the next project needs new skills.

As part of your team, our engineers deploy what the project depends on, from virtualized servers and storage to the move into the cloud. Your people set the priorities and learn each system hands-on, so they can run it on their own once it is live.

Leadership

You need CIO-level direction, not a full-time hire.

When technology decisions reach your desk with no one at that level to weigh them, we serve as your fractional CIO or CTO. We set the roadmap and plan the budget behind it. The role runs on a retainer or a block of hours, around what you need.

What we do

You set the goal. We bring the expertise and run the rest.

For each project you get the specialized experience it calls for, one schedule across every vendor, and equipment and licensing sourced through our partner accounts. The next project gets a different mix, matched to its scope.

Technology partners
  • Microsoft
  • Cisco
  • Fortinet
  • Ruckus Networks
  • Aruba
  • HPE
  • Tenable
  • 14IP

We hold partner status with each of these vendors, and we will tell you which products we would choose. When another technology fits you better, we recommend it and work with it.

Who we serve

The industry matters less than the stage.

We serve companies of 50 to 5,000 employees anywhere in the US, remotely and on site. We have people on the ground in California, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Texas, and more coming soon.

Get in touch

Let's get you to the right person.

A network to design, a move to the cloud, a security gap to close, or a second opinion on the roadmap: we connect you with someone who knows that area and help you scope what it takes.
