Our Journey
Every Milestone, a Testament to Innovation
The ascent of PC units heralded the indispensability of networking, as we acquainted our clientele with the prowess of Novell, spawning interconnected workspaces
The introduction of Windows for Workgroups (WfW) presented a transformative phase for small businesses. It emerged as a viable alternative to Novell, marking our adaptability to the evolving IT landscape
The surge in Intel CPU capabilities meant a shift in focus. We ushered our clients from Prime Mini Computers to the more versatile and powerful Personal Computer platform
Microsoft introduced Windows NT, and with it, we embraced an advanced platform that further enhanced our network system offerings
2000 was a pivotal year for CRC. Transitioning from a Time and Material basis, we led the way in Orange County, introducing ongoing Maintenance and Support. This era also saw us migrating clients through successive Windows server versions, ensuring they stayed ahead
As businesses’ needs grew, so did our solutions. Recognizing that a single server was often inadequate, we began deploying multiple servers to robustly handle diverse client applications
CRC’s Private Cloud Data Center was established in Lake Forest, California. Utilizing advanced technologies like EMC SAS Storage Servers and VMware, we ensured seamless operations with both LAN and Internet Redundancy
From a multi-server setup, we pioneered into our first Private Cloud Data Center. By consolidating servers like session-based hosts, domain controllers, database servers into Cloud Farms, we cut costs and enhanced efficiency
Transitioning our On-Premise Data Center to a Managed Data Center Facility in California, we emphasized enhanced security, availability, and earthquake resilience. Top-notch infrastructure components ensured business continuity and client trust
CRC Cloud introduced an innovative SSD cloud storage farm, augmenting our service offerings. Designed for businesses seeking faster cloud computing solutions, this initiative employs Flash SSD technology, significantly boosting speed and efficiency in cloud operations. This development reflects our dedication to providing cutting-edge technological solutions
This year saw CRC Cloud seamlessly integrate AI into its operations. Harnessing AI’s predictive analytics, our data centers gained self-diagnosing capabilities, setting the stage for anticipating and mitigating issues before they materialized
