Client Feedback

What Clients Say

"Oceanwind rebuilt our entire network after a ransomware incident. They had us back online in 72 hours with a security posture we never had before."

MR
Marcus R.
Operations Director, Regional Healthcare Group

"The Azure migration was seamless. They handled the entire lift - licensing, VNets, AD Connect - and came in under budget."

SL
Sandra L.
CFO, Logistics Firm, Raleigh NC

"As a small firm we couldn't afford a full-time IT director. Their managed services plan gives us enterprise-level support at a price that actually makes sense."

Our Services

Technical Consulting for the Modern SMB

From on-prem infrastructure to cloud-native architectures and AI-augmented operations - we cover the full stack.

Cloud Platform Consulting

Cloud migrations fail when they're rushed or under-scoped. We take a structured approach - business requirements first, architecture second, migration third - so you end up with a cloud environment that's cost-optimized and operationally maintainable.

What's Included

  • Cloud readiness assessment and workload analysis
  • Azure and AWS architecture design (VNet/VPC, subnets, NSGs)
  • IaaS migrations: physical and VM workloads to cloud
  • VMware to Hyper-V and cloud-native virtualization
  • Azure Active Directory and Entra ID configuration
  • Hybrid connectivity: ExpressRoute, VPN Gateway, Azure AD Connect
  • PaaS configuration: App Services, Azure SQL, Storage Accounts
  • Cost optimization and right-sizing analysis
  • Infrastructure as Code (Bicep, ARM, Terraform) templating
  • Backup and disaster recovery (Azure Backup, ASR)

Planning a migration?

We scope cloud migrations in a single workshop. Come away with a phased plan and an accurate cost estimate.

AI Integration & Development

AI isn't magic - it's engineering. We help businesses identify where AI creates genuine operational leverage, then build the integrations that actually work in production environments rather than just demos.

What's Included

  • AI use-case discovery and ROI analysis
  • LLM-powered workflow automation (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, local models)
  • Custom API integrations connecting AI capabilities to existing systems
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for internal knowledge bases
  • Intelligent document processing and data extraction pipelines
  • Chatbot and virtual assistant development for customer-facing or internal use
  • PowerShell and Python automation scripts with AI-assisted logic
  • Security threat detection using ML anomaly detection models
  • On-premise model deployment for data-sensitive environments

Not sure where to start?

A 15 to 30 minute AI discovery session can map your workflows to specific automation opportunities. Concrete, not theoretical.

AI Policies & Governance

AI is transforming how businesses operate, but without clear policies and governance frameworks, it also introduces significant risks: data exposure, intellectual property loss, regulatory liability, and reputational damage. We help organizations establish the rules of the road for AI so your team can innovate confidently and responsibly.

What's Included

  • AI inventory and discovery. Catalog all AI tools currently in use across the organization
  • Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) development tailored to your industry and risk profile
  • Approved AI tools list: Define which platforms are permitted and under what conditions
  • Data classification guidelines - what data may be shared with AI systems and what must not
  • Intellectual property and confidentiality protections for AI-generated outputs
  • Employee AI training and awareness programs. Practical guidance for day-to-day use
  • AI governance framework aligned with NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and emerging regulations
  • Vendor AI risk assessments: Evaluating third-party AI tools for privacy and security compliance
  • Incident response procedures for AI-related data events or misuse
  • Ongoing governance review cadence: Keep policies current as the AI landscape evolves

Is your team using AI without guardrails?

A 15-30 minute AI governance discovery session identifies your current exposure and maps a practical policy framework for your organization to establish AI Governance quickly.

Network Architecture, Deployment & Support

We design networks that align with how your business actually operates - not generic templates from a vendor playbook. Every engagement starts with a topology review and ends with documented, supportable infrastructure.

What's Included

  • LAN/WAN architecture and IP addressing plans
  • VLAN segmentation, inter-VLAN routing, and ACL design
  • Fortinet FortiGate firewall deployment and policy migration
  • Cisco Catalyst and FortiSwitch layer-2/3 switching
  • Cisco Meraki and Ubiquiti wireless deployment and RF optimization
  • SD-WAN and WAN failover (dual-ISP, LTE backup)
  • VPN site-to-site (IPsec, SSL) and remote access (FortiClient, GlobalProtect)
  • Load balancing and redundancy configurations
  • Fiber optic cabling and physical plant documentation
  • Network monitoring setup (SNMP, syslog, dashboard alerting)
  • Full as-built documentation and topology diagrams

We'll document your current state and show you exactly what needs to change - no obligation.

Network, Infrastructure & Data Security

Security is an architecture problem, not a product problem. We design layered defenses from the perimeter inward - firewall policies, identity controls, endpoint protection, and data governance - that work together as a coherent system.

What's Included

  • Security architecture review and gap analysis
  • FortiGate firewall policy design, audit, and migration
  • Zero-trust network access (ZTNA) architecture
  • Active Directory hardening and least-privilege RBAC
  • Multi-factor authentication rollout (Entra ID, Duo, FortiToken)
  • Endpoint detection and response (EDR) deployment
  • IDS/IPS tuning and SIEM log aggregation
  • Vulnerability scanning and patch prioritization
  • Incident response planning and tabletop exercises
  • Compliance readiness (HIPAA, CMMC, SOC 2 documentation)

  • Helpdesk ticketing and end-user support (business hours and extended)

Who We Are

Built on 30+ years of hands-on enterprise IT work

Oceanwind Tech was founded on a simple premise: small and mid-size businesses - whether across the street or across the country - deserve the same caliber of IT expertise that large enterprises access, without the bloated agency overhead or vendor lock-in.

We bring deep hands-on experience across Fortinet, Cisco, Meraki, and Ubiquiti platforms, combined with practical cloud and security expertise that comes from actually doing the work - not just certifying for it.

Every engagement is led directly by senior-level consultants. You won't be handed off to a junior resource or a call center. Whether you're in New York, Houston, or Tokyo - when you work with Oceanwind Tech, you work with the people who built the architecture.

No Vendor Bias

We recommend what fits your environment, not what pays the highest commission.

Documentation First

Every project ends with clean, maintainable documentation - not a system only we understand.

Transparent Pricing

Flat project rates and monthly managed service plans. No surprise invoices.

SMB-Scaled

Enterprise methodology adapted for businesses of 10 to 500 employees.
