What we do

It's time to upgrade
your legacy data center.

Four disciplines, engineered as one environment. Executing the design, connecting the environment, and keeping it running. That's where we come in.

01
Data Center Networking

Data center networking facilitates the sharing of data across multiple users and devices, including servers that store centralized data, clients that access it, routers and switches that connect devices, and gateways that manage communication with the public.

02
Data Protection

When all of an organization's data is centralized in a physical or cloud-based data center, protecting that data is of the utmost importance. R2 employs both physical and software-based security, including firewalls, anti-malware tools, secure network zones, and more.

03
Servers + Virtualization

With virtualization technologies, software applications can consolidate many physical functions of the data center. Server virtualization improves IT efficiency, reduces downtime, and simplifies backup, and enables the migration of data and processes to the cloud.

04
Storage + Converged Infrastructure

Converged infrastructure is a packaged approach to data center management and storage that makes the entire process easier. A converged solution includes server, networking, storage and tools in a single piece of hardware, with management and virtualization software built in.

Our service approach — F3EAD

A better approach to technology service.

R2 utilizes a six-step services approach inspired by the U.S. military's special operations forces: "Find, Fix, Finish, Exploit, Analyze, and Disseminate" (F3EAD) methodology. Partnering with you on your technology journey, we'll advise, design, implement, and manage your entire IT environment.

Fix

The target hybrid design, the multi-cloud mix behind it, and the success criteria we'll be measured against.

F
Finish

Migration, cutover, and validation — executed on schedule, with rollback planned before we start.

Turn on what the new architecture makes possible: automation, analytics, and policy-based security.

FAQs

Frequently Asked IT + Professional Services Questions

What are Professional Services?

Professional Services provide expert-led planning, design, and execution for complex IT initiatives. Our engineers work alongside your team to assess requirements, architect solutions, and deliver projects that improve performance, security, and reliability. The focus is on execution you can trust, not theoretical recommendations.

What types of projects do you support through Professional Services?

We support projects across security, networking, cloud, infrastructure, and data center modernization. This includes assessments, architecture design, migrations, implementations, risk mitigation, and remediation work. Each engagement is scoped to solve a specific problem and deliver measurable outcomes.

When should an organization use Professional Services instead of Managed Services?

Professional Services are ideal when you need focused expertise for a defined initiative such as a deployment, upgrade, or remediation effort. Managed Services are designed for ongoing operations.

Many organizations use Professional Services first to stabilize or modernize environments, then transition into Managed Services for long-term support and cost-effective, added capacity for their team.

How do you approach Professional Services engagements?

For all engagements, including Professional Services, R2 utilizes a six-step services approach inspired by the U.S. military’s special operations forces: “Find, Fix, Finish, Exploit, Analyze, and Disseminate” (F3EAD) methodology.

We assess your environment, define scope and success criteria, and execute clear milestones and communication. Our engineers stay accountable from design through delivery, so there are no handoffs or gaps in responsibility.

How do you ensure projects stay on scope and on schedule?

It’s our belief that expertise is earned, and trust is built over time. Every engagement includes defined deliverables, timelines, and responsibilities. R2 emphasizes upfront clarity, disciplined change control, and regular status updates. This approach reduces rework, delivers results without surprises, and keeps projects aligned to business priorities.

Will you work alongside our internal IT team?

Yes. R2 is designed to extend your team, not replace it. We fill skill gaps, provide after-hours coverage, and manage specialized or time-intensive tasks. Your team maintains control while gaining capacity, visibility, and predictable execution.

How is success measured for Professional Services projects?

We’ve worked with IT leaders who were burned by broken promises and tired of cleaning up the mess after the wrong team walked away. That’s why we engineered something better. Success is measured against agreed-upon outcomes such as performance improvements, risk reduction, system readiness, or successful go-live milestones. R2 defines these benchmarks upfront and reports on progress throughout the project, so results are clear and verifiable.

Why choose R2 for Professional Services instead of a traditional VAR or consultant?

At R2, we solve, not sell. We advise, design, implement, and manage your IT environment with care, clarity, and technical precision. Our engineers go deeper, earning your trust by recommending solutions that fit your environment, not a sales quota.

Every certification we pursue and every decision we make is built around doing what’s right for your team, your business, and your bottom line. Our engineers stay accountable through execution, which reduces risk and improves outcomes.

Can Professional Services engagements transition into ongoing support?

Yes. Many organizations engage us for Professional Services to design or implement solutions, then extend the relationship through Managed Services. This ensures continuity, operational stability, and long-term accountability for what was built—as well as increased time and capacity for your team to focus on strategic initiatives.

How do you reduce risk during complex implementations?

R2 reduces risk through proven architectures, experienced engineers, and disciplined execution. We validate designs, test changes, and document outcomes, so environments are stable, secure, and ready for production use.
