Our team brings a level of true expertise to manage business critical issues outside the normal scope of experience possessed by the client's in-house information technology staff. Internal IT departments are typically composed of a few dedicated specialists, who are focused on daily operations. This staffing model becomes overwhelmed addressing the issues of today, lacking the time or other resources necessary for the long range activities required for business sustainability and growth.
Our consultants possess the skill sets and ability required to manage scenarios that creep—or explode—beyond the scope of an in-house information technology staff. These scenarios can range from the need to upgrade an existing hardware infrastructure, or expanding the scope of the client infrastructure, to complex data center moves. We provide the expertise needed to handle the needs assessment, design, deployment, maintenance, pro-active monitoring, and documentation required to support a thriving business though system modification and growth.
One of the problems companies often encounter is that standard off-the-shelf applications lack essential features or functionality—or in some cases, an off-the-shelf application is not available to meet the needs of the business. The solution involves designing and deploying custom middleware and front end systems. InfraMesh is staffed with individuals who possesses the skills and experience needed to develop the appropriate software solutions to meet our clients' needs. Our blend of skills will provide quick and tidy software solutions for your company's growing computing requirements—both for today and into the future.
Another area many companies require specialized support in is legacy applications. These are applications developed—in some cases decades ago—to support specific business needs. The maintenance or replacement of these applications presents special challenges, particularly if the individuals who developed them have left the company and or the documentation may be sketchy or nonexistent. Insuring that mission critical business needs are not impacted throughout the development cycle, is equally challenging. InfraMesh has the expertise to assist in the research necessary to fully document not only the application in question, but also its interactions with other applications within the client's systems.
Companies exist in a fast-paced and ever changing landscape. To meet the demands of business, a company's IT infrastructure experiences significant change as well. Hardware has to be shifted around almost constantly to fulfill both immediate and future needs. From time to time, however, move management can become a massive undertaking; systems that hundreds or thousands of man-hours have gone into building and maintaining need to be torn apart and reassembled—or completely replaced—swiftly and precisely without bringing the company to a dead stop. Move management is an elaborately complex process with considerable costs and risks that can overwhelm in-house IT staff. The InfraMesh team has the combined experience and expertise to assess, plan and implement a move like a special task force.
If your needs include an off-site environment collocation we can offer "5-9's" IBM hardware, with the ability to offer on-line automatic failover. These hosted managed servers can be tailored with an a la carte offering of all the services that are mission critical to our customer, facing mandatory up-time processes. We are able to work with our clients, to identify their needs and provide the equipment scaled to match these requirements.
We offer custom hosting services, all based on IBM X series hardware. Our Tier 1 datacenter is SunTone Certified. Our offerings span from standard single CPU offerings, out to complex multi server sets, with automated hardware failover and in place disk based system backups. This allows us to customize our service to meet the needs presented by each individual client.
Reliability and uptime are the two big demons of the IT industry. We have the facilities to address both, to meet our clients' service needs. In addition to the automated failover systems, which we can provide, we also provide a 24X7 support service. This combination insures our clients' uninterrupted service to meet their business requirements.
All of our hosting clients benefit from a customized program developed to design the systems that will best fit their needs. In the incredibly complex world of corporate needs we have found that it behooves us to not be another one size fits all package offering company.

Given today's ever changing business environment, disposing of surplus equipment, is becoming an ever increasing challenge for the IT industry. We possess the tools necessary to quickly and successfully address, the needs posed by this unique area of business operations.
Our Surplus Management Services is a one-stop solution for recovering and liquidating your surplus network, computer, phone and test/lab equipment. InfraMesh can provide the equipment liquidation or asset recovery solutions your company needs to successfully address this area without future repercussions.
Sell used computers: Get top dollar for used computer equipment, used Cisco, used network equipment and used phones. We understand that this is the most important part of the computer liquidation service.
InfraMesh Surplus Management can handle the logictics and labor involved in recovering or retiring surplus equipment from your nationwide locations.
Cataloging: InfraMesh Surplus Management can catalog and value your entire inventory of equipment. We can provide a detailed report of all your equipment and report serial numbers, condition and any other factor required.
Data wiping or data destruction: We wipe all data from hard drives using a "DOD standard" of three writes (1's, 0's and 1's.) We report and can certify that all data has been removed. For critical data, InfraMesh can manage the shredding of hard drives.
eWaste: InfraMesh Surplus Management will manage the destruction of all surplus materials to meet the applicable state and federal environmental protection standards.
Reporting: InfraMesh Surplus Management will report all asset disposition and data destruction actions, so your company meet all of the required reporting and record standards.
Purchase: We offer fair prices and fast removal, with emphasis on attaining a quick valuation of your equipment. There are several types of equipment InfraMesh Surplus Management buys or manages for sale. Examples include:
Computer Recycling Services are another crucial facet of InfraMesh's Surplus Management Services. We offer EPA compliant (federal and state) computer recycler service. Managing eWaste (i.e. CRT monitor recycling, phone recycling, computer recycling) is a problem complicated by the increased willingness of Federal and state agencies—such as the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)—to prosecute for violations resulting from improper disposal of corporate eWaste.
Four common solutions to mitigate the financial risks that are offered by many vendors are:
InfraMesh is committed to solving the issue within the law. For any equipment with zero marketable value, InfraMesh Surplus Management will ensure that the equipment is destroyed in order with EPA state and federal regulation.
75% of all phased out corporate computer equipment is immediately moved to storage. There are simple reasons that this occurs:
Typically, after a few years, the computer equipment storage area looks more similar to a corporate computer junkyard or a parts depot. The costs are larger in terms of management, storage cost and potential asset recovery value.
Passing the problem to another via donation does not mitigate the risk. Donation is generally the most expensive way to eliminate financial risk. Donated computer equipment tends to be resold rather than used. If used, it is generally recycled after very short periods of use. If the equipment is subsequently disposed or resold to less-than-scrupulous resellers, your name could potentially remain on the chain of ownership.
InfraMesh Surplus Management works with firms to ensure that the management of eWaste is accomplished to mitigate any financial risks to the firm. Andover maintains a no-landfill policy and works to protect its clients by destroying equipment without worth with an EPA compliant method.
