Why Petronella

Stop Juggling 5 Vendors.
Start With One Call.

If any of these sound familiar, you've outgrown your current IT provider. Most businesses in Raleigh-Durham cobble together IT from a phone guy, a break-fix shop, a cloud consultant, and a security vendor who all blame each other when things break. We replace all of them.

Signs You've Outgrown Your IT Provider

  • You manage 3+ vendor contracts just to keep the lights on
  • You wait hours (or days) for help desk responses
  • Nobody can tell you if your backups actually work
  • Your "security" is antivirus software and crossed fingers
  • Every outage turns into a blame game between vendors
  • You worry about compliance but have no plan
  • Your IT spend keeps climbing but service stays flat

After Switching to Petronella

  • 1 team, 1 invoice, 1 point of accountability
  • US-based engineers in Raleigh-Durham who know your name
  • <15-minute response guaranteed in your contract
  • Quarterly disaster recovery tests with documented results
  • 39-layer ZeroHack cybersecurity stack included at no extra charge
  • Compliance-ready infrastructure from day one (HIPAA, CMMC, SOC 2)
  • Average client saves 30-40% vs. multi-vendor approach

FAQ

Questions We Hear Every Week

Our sweet spot is 10 to 500 employees, but we manage environments from 5-person startups to multi-location enterprises with 1,000+ seats. If you have computers and people who use them, we can help.
Flat-rate, per-user, per-month. No surprise invoices. No hourly billing that incentivizes us to be slow. You know your IT cost every single month, and it includes everything — help desk, monitoring, security, backups, and strategic planning.
No. We offer month-to-month agreements with a 30-day results guarantee. If you don't see measurable improvement in your first 30 days, we'll refund your first month. We earn your business every single month — not with a contract, but with results.
We've done this over 2,500 times. We run parallel support during the transition — your old provider stays active while we shadow, document, and take over each system. Your employees won't notice the switch except that things start working better. Most transitions complete in under 2 weeks.
Included. Every managed IT plan comes with our 39-layer ZeroHack cybersecurity stack, 24/7 SOC monitoring, and managed XDR. We don't believe in selling "IT without security" — that's like selling a house without a lock on the door. You get both, always.
Absolutely. We manage fully remote, hybrid, and on-premise teams equally well. Our remote support tools, cloud-first architecture, and zero-trust security model mean your people are protected and productive whether they're in the office, at home, or in a coffee shop.
Three things: First, we include enterprise-grade cybersecurity in every IT plan — most MSPs charge extra or skip it entirely. Second, we're a CMMC Registered Provider Organization, meaning we can take you from basic IT all the way to Department of Defense compliance. Third, we have 22+ years and 2,500+ clients — we've seen every scenario, every vendor, and every disaster. Nothing surprises us.
