Founded by Kirill Bensonoff and Alex Ho as Spirinet Technology Services
Meet StratusPointIT
StratusPointIT was originally founded in 2006 as Spirinet Technology Services, and in 2014 changed its legal name to ComputerSupport LLC and did business under the ComputerSupport.com name.
Over time our business has expanded, and we provide a wide array of support, from workstations, networks, servers (on-premise or cloud), Office 365, advisory services, security solutions, and procurement of hardware and software. As we continue to expand our services to better support our diverse customer base, we now go-to-market as StratusPointIT, under the ComputerSupport LLC entity.
Stratus coming from the Latin prefix strato-, meaning layer, to represent we support all layers of your IT needs from on-premise to the cloud, and Point to represent all your endpoints, from workstations to networks.
Our mission is to help business executives get the most out of their technology investment. Our customers are in various geographies and verticals, but have one thing in common – they understand the value of IT and the impact great technology makes on their business operations.
StratusPointIT employs a team of certified engineers and technical consultants with focused competencies in emerging and complex technologies. Our engineers are consistently trained to stay proficient in the latest technologies and hold numerous certifications from industry leaders such as Amazon Web Services, HP, Cisco, Microsoft, Mimecast, Sonicwall, VMWare, and many others. With extensive qualifications and best practices knowledge, our consultants can effectively deliver the best of breed managed IT solutions for your business.
