Question 1

Does G6 provide 24/7 IT support?

Accepted Answer

Yes. G6 provides 24/7/365 support backed by FBI-backgrounded technicians and a battle-tested methodology behind every engagement. Coverage extends beyond standard business hours so that outages, security incidents and critical failures are addressed regardless of when they occur.

Our 24/7/365 coverage is designed to give clients comprehensive support:

On-call escalation paths route after-hours alerts from monitoring tools directly to available technicians instead of a general voicemail queue.

If a monitored system goes offline outside business hours, then an alert is generated automatically and routed to the on-call rotation without waiting for a client to call in.

FBI background checks on technicians address a security consideration for clients handling sensitive, regulated or government-related data.

Documented runbooks give after-hours staff the same context a daytime technician would have, reducing dependence on any single person's memory of a client's environment.

Question 2

What is a vCIO and does my business need one?

Accepted Answer

A vCIO (virtual chief information officer) is a strategic technology advisor who aligns a company's IT roadmap with its business goals without the cost of a full-time executive hire. Growing businesses need this function once technology decisions start affecting budget, compliance or competitive position, not just day-to-day uptime.

What you can expect from strategic IT advisory:

Quarterly business reviews translate technical findings into budget and risk language a non-technical owner can act on.

Technology roadmapping sequences upgrades, migrations and security investments against a 12- to 36-month horizon instead of reacting project by project.

If a compliance deadline or a lease renewal on aging hardware is approaching, then the roadmap surfaces that dependency months in advance rather than the week it becomes urgent.

Vendor management centralizes decisions on software licensing and cloud contracts under one accountable advisor.

G6's vCIO function is delivered as part of our advisory services. Related question: What is managed IT support and how is it different from break-fix IT services?

Question 3

What is managed IT support and how is it different from break-fix IT services?

Accepted Answer

Managed IT services deliver ongoing monitoring, maintenance and security for a business's technology environment for a predictable monthly fee, rather than billing hourly after something fails. This proactive model catches problems before they cause downtime. Break-fix support, by contrast, only responds once a system is already broken.

Break-fix vs. proactive monitoring:

Remote monitoring and management (RMM) software runs continuously in the background, flagging failing hardware, low disk space or unpatched software before they cause an outage.

If a server begins showing signs of failure, then the monitoring platform alerts the support team before the drive fails completely, rather than after.

Patch management is scheduled and tested, closing security gaps as vendors release updates instead of leaving them open indefinitely.

Flat-rate pricing aligns the provider's incentive with prevention, since fewer emergencies mean lower internal cost to deliver the contract.
