Managed Hosting & Colocation Solutions for Raleigh-Durham, NC

In today’s fast-paced digital environment, businesses require reliable and secure hosting solutions tailored to their specific operational and regulatory needs. Petronella Technology Group, located in Raleigh-Durham, NC, is a provider of managed hosting, colocation, and dedicated server solutions. Their services are especially valuable for businesses that must meet stringent compliance standards like CMMC for defense contractors or HIPAA for healthcare providers. Petronella's hosting offerings emphasize security, scalability, and performance, supported by a team of experts available 24/7 to ensure the continuity and security of hosted data.

Petronella’s hosting solutions are not one-size-fits-all; instead, they are customizable to meet each business's unique requirements. They include various options such as dedicated servers, colocation services, and virtual hosting, with integrated security measures to safeguard sensitive data. This flexibility enables organizations to choose solutions that align with their growth plans and compliance requirements, all within a secure and well-monitored environment.

 

Custom Hosting Solutions Tailored to Regulatory Compliance

Petronella’s hosting solutions are designed with regulatory compliance in mind. For instance, companies that handle sensitive information, such as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or Protected Health Information (PHI), are required to meet specific security standards. Petronella offers tailored solutions that meet or exceed these standards, ensuring that businesses remain compliant and avoid potential fines and security breaches.

CMMC Compliant Hosting Solutions for Defense Contractors

For companies working with the Department of Defense (DoD), compliance with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is essential. The CMMC framework requires companies to implement specific cybersecurity controls to protect sensitive information, particularly CUI and ITAR data. Petronella’s CMMC Virtual Desktop options offer a quick, compliant setup that enables businesses to meet these rigorous requirements in as little as two weeks.

CMMC Virtual Desktop Implementation

Petronella offers a custom Virtual Desktop implementation on their enterprise server stack to meet CMMC Level 2 standards. This solution is configured within an isolated enclave, securing access to CUI/ITAR data. Leveraging their security stack, Petronella integrates enterprise-grade firewall protections, Extended Detection and Response (XDR), and other advanced security controls to keep sensitive data safe.

CMMC Hosting on Microsoft Azure (GCC High)

For those who prefer to use cloud-based solutions, Petronella provides CMMC-compliant hosting on Microsoft Azure’s GCC High environment. This option utilizes Microsoft’s secure cloud infrastructure, meeting the stringent compliance requirements of the CMMC and providing a scalable, cloud-native environment for organizations handling DoD contracts.

HIPAA Compliant Hosting Solutions for Healthcare Providers

For healthcare providers and associated businesses, maintaining HIPAA compliance is crucial when handling patient health information. Petronella offers secure HIPAA-compliant hosting solutions that protect PHI data and adhere to the HIPAA Security Rule.

HIPAA Virtual Desktop Implementation

Similar to the CMMC solution, Petronella’s HIPAA Virtual Desktop implementation is configured within a secure, isolated enclave to limit access to PHI. This virtual desktop setup allows healthcare providers to manage patient information securely, ensuring all data remains compliant and protected.

HIPAA Hosting on Microsoft GCC High, Amazon GovCloud, or Google Cloud (DoD Edition)

Petronella also offers HIPAA-compliant hosting options on various cloud platforms, including Microsoft GCC High, Amazon GovCloud, and Google Cloud's DoD edition. Each of these platforms meets or exceeds HIPAA requirements, providing healthcare providers with flexible, scalable options for securely managing sensitive data.

Comprehensive Security and Network Configurations

Petronella’s hosting solutions come with robust security configurations to support compliance and protect against cyber threats. Each setup includes security and networking configurations, such as VLAN setups, Microsoft Active Directory integration, encrypted data and email systems, and logging and analytics.

Enterprise Firewall & Network Security

Petronella deploys enterprise-class firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, and XDR solutions, creating a multi-layered defense system against potential security breaches.

Monitoring & Backup

With 24/7 monitoring, data backups, and regular maintenance, Petronella ensures that all hosted data remains protected and accessible. This proactive approach allows businesses to focus on their core operations without worrying about the integrity of their data.

Dedicated Servers and Managed Hosting Solutions

Dedicated servers provide the stability and performance needed for organizations with high data demands. Petronella’s dedicated hosting services cater to companies that require full control over their server environment, with dedicated resources and minimal downtime.

High-Performance Servers

Petronella’s dedicated servers are equipped with enterprise-class hardware, solid-state drives, and powerful CPUs designed for high-performance applications. This setup is ideal for companies running Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) or Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) for remote teams or high-demand applications.

Customizable Server Configurations

Organizations can choose the specific hardware, software, and security configurations that best meet their needs, ensuring that each server setup is optimized for the business’s unique requirements.

Hosted Desktop Solutions

Petronella’s hosted desktop solutions take the complexity out of managing IT infrastructure by centralizing desktop applications and files within a secure, virtual environment. This setup is particularly advantageous for remote teams or organizations looking to reduce hardware maintenance costs.

Thin Clients and Zero Client Solutions

By adopting a thin client or zero-client setup, companies can reduce data sprawl and streamline management by consolidating their desktops and applications into a virtual stack. This reduces on-site support needs and enhances data security, as all information is stored centrally rather than across multiple devices.

Virtual GPU Options for AI, Engineering and other Firms with high video demands 

Petronella also provides virtual GPU options for engineering firms or companies that require high-performance graphical processing, allowing teams to work on design and modeling applications without requiring expensive, high-end hardware on individual workstations.

Petronella’s Colocation Services for Raleigh-Durham, NC Businesses

Colocation is an attractive solution for businesses looking to maintain control over their hardware without the associated costs of managing a physical data center. Petronella’s colocation services offer a secure, climate-controlled environment with 24/7 monitoring and backup power supplies to ensure maximum uptime.

Customizable Colocation

Colocation plans can be tailored to meet the growing needs of businesses. Whether an organization needs additional space, power, or network capacity, Petronella can provide a scalable solution that aligns with the business's expansion plans.

This includes management of your day-to-day IT infrastructure, and even application support whenever you encounter significant problems that require escalation. Your computers remain performing properly and safe from harm.
  • Thin Clients and Zero Client Solutions: Business verticals like the defense industrial base (DIB), which are subject to CMMC Compliance if handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or medical practices that are subject to HIPAA compliance can often save costs by adopting a Thin Client or Zero Client design powered by a Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS), Citrix, Vmware View, or Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) design. When properly engineered, these solutions reduce management burden by centralizing all of the company's servers, desktops and applications into a virtual stack. This reduces data sprawl, where data is spread across many different computers and hard drives, and also reduces the need for on-site support as Thin Clients and Zero Clients are often solid state with no moving parts, therefore they last over 3x longer than traditional computers or laptops. If your business is an engineering firm or has high GPU demands, Petronella has virtual GPU options to ensure your engineering team can create blueprints and drawings fast.
  • Hosted Servers - Virtual and Physical Solutions: Your servers are the heart and core of your business, so it's crucial that they are rock-solid and stable.

You never lose productivity in the workplace due to downtime and server issues because we adopt advanced high availability (HA) at multiple layers of the OSI model to give you the highest uptime possible leveraging the best redundancy options available. Plus, we proactively observe the health, security and performance in real time.
  • Internet and Network Solutions: When your network is operating properly, you can maintain a high level on confidence.
