Roadrunner Information Technology

Portland Oregon

We implement open source technology solutions on site for folks ready to stop renting from cloud providers. You can own the technology your organization relies upon, control costs, keep your data private & in your full control. Replace subscriptions to unscrupulous technology monopolies for your essential business software & storage needs.

Our Services

Cloud Repatriation

We move your data from expensive monthly cloud services to your own hardware on site, stopping monthly cloud subscription bills immediately. Self hosting your applications & data is perfect approach for organizations with predictable needs: one upfront purchase replaces endless unpredictable SAAS fees from megacorps who harvest their user's data and sell it to advertisers and governments. You can use public domain software to build your independence for yourself.

Small Quiet Servers

We install whisper quiet energy efficient servers that fit unobtrusively in your office opening up new possibilities for integrating technology into your space. Owning your hardware avoids vendor lock-in, data leaks, inflation, surprise software license changes from corporate acquisitions. We can create custom software or IoT hardware automations to streamline your workflow, save you time, & create adaptive integrations into your physical space with home assistant.

Local Media Storage

We set up custom personal cloud systems with NAS servers onsite to store media files instantly. This is a must if you work with large files. Whether you're a video editor scrubbing 4K footage, a music producer mixing multitrack sessions, a 3D artist rendering models, a GIS mapper processing datasets, or an engineer working with CAD models your files will be ready instantly, at LAN speed, with no cloud bottleneck. Spend less time fighting technology and more time doing what you love.

Secure User Data

We implement private, encrypted databases for organizations to keep their people's information and financial records strictly on site. Password managers protect your employees, customers & members data from being leaked. Nothing will leave your building. If you handle sensitive personal or financial information keeping it on site on your own hardware is the safest option. This will allow you to easily comply with the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act which protects your customer's privacy.

Automated Backups

We configure your system to automatically copy your records every night ensuring you never lose critical data to accidents or viruses. We deploy NAS servers to store your data onsite. If something goes wrong just roll back to the last good state. We use the 3-2-1 backup system. We keep 3 copies of your data: one on your file server, one on your NAS storage drive, and one encrypted copy off site. If your office floods or burns, your data is safe.
