Your Data
& Software.

Cloud, Data & Software Management

Your data is the most valuable thing in your business. We make sure it's protected, backed up, recoverable, and accessible to the right people at the right time — along with the software your team depends on every day.

Cloud Services

The cloud lets your team work from anywhere, collaborate in real time, and access files without being tied to one computer or office. We help you move to the right cloud platform, set it up securely, and make sure your team can actually use it without frustration. Whether that's Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or something else — we handle it.

Data Backup & Recovery

Most businesses think they're backing up their data. Most of those businesses have never actually tested whether that backup works. We implement proper backup solutions, test them regularly, and make sure that if something catastrophic happens — fire, ransomware, hardware failure — your business data can be fully restored quickly.

Backup As-a-Service

A fully managed backup solution where we take care of everything — setup, monitoring, testing, and recovery. Your data is automatically backed up to secure offsite locations on a schedule we define together. You never have to think about it. If you ever need to recover something, we handle that too.

Software Management

Outdated software is one of the biggest security risks a business faces — and it's completely avoidable. We handle all your software updates, patches, and maintenance automatically, keeping every application on every computer current and secure. No more nagging update reminders interrupting your team.

Software Procurement

Buying software for a business is more complicated than it looks — licensing terms, volume discounts, compliance requirements, and compatibility all matter. We navigate the procurement process for you, making sure you get the right licenses at the best price, properly deployed and legally compliant.

App Development

Need a custom application built for your business? Whether it's a client-facing mobile app, an internal tool to streamline your team's workflow, or a web application to replace a manual process — we design and build it from the ground up. Everything is scoped around your exact requirements, built clean, and supported after launch.

Common questions
What businesses ask us
about this service.
How often are my business backups actually tested?

Penta Technology runs verified restore tests on managed backups on a recurring schedule — typically monthly. Untested backups are not backups. Every Central Virginia client we manage knows their backup actually works because we have proven it works.

What's the difference between cloud backup and cloud storage?

Cloud storage like Dropbox or Google Drive is for sharing and syncing — if a file gets corrupted or ransomware encrypts it, the bad version syncs to the cloud too. Cloud backup is versioned, isolated, and built to recover entire systems from a point in time. Real businesses need both, used for the right purposes.

Can you help us manage Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?

Yes. We administer both for Central Virginia businesses, including license management, mailbox and shared drive setup, security policies, conditional access, and backup of Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace data (which Microsoft and Google do not back up for you by default).

What happens to my business if our main computer dies tomorrow?

With proper Penta Technology managed backup, you can be operational again within hours — either by restoring to a replacement machine or running a virtual instance of your environment while hardware is replaced. Without it, you may lose everything that wasn't on cloud services, plus days of downtime.
