Your IT department, run for you, with security built in
Managed IT Services (MSP)
Technology should move your business forward — not consume it with tickets, outages, and firefighting. As your managed service provider (MSP), RHC Solutions takes ownership of day-to-day IT: a responsive help desk for your people, proactive management of every endpoint, server, and network, cloud and Microsoft 365 administration, backup and disaster recovery, and the vendor wrangling in between — all for a predictable monthly fee.
A managed service provider (MSP) runs your day-to-day IT for a predictable monthly fee — help desk, endpoints, networks, cloud, Microsoft 365, backup and disaster recovery, and vendor management — instead of billing by the hour to fix things after they break. RHC Solutions becomes the IT team you don’t have to hire, monitoring and maintaining your environment so problems are prevented or caught before they reach your users.
Break/fix IT is reactive by design: something breaks, you call, you wait, you pay. A managed service provider flips that model — we monitor and maintain your environment continuously so problems are prevented or caught before they reach your users, and support is a flat, predictable cost rather than a surprise invoice. RHC Solutions becomes the IT team you don't have to hire: we own the help desk, keep your devices patched and secure, manage your network and cloud, protect your data with tested backups, and give you a single accountable partner for everything technology. You get enterprise-grade IT operations and senior guidance without the overhead of building the function in-house.
What we deliver

Fast, friendly support for your people across email, chat, and phone — with proactive monitoring so many issues are resolved before anyone opens a ticket.

Network & Infrastructure Management
Monitoring and management of firewalls, switches, Wi-Fi, servers, and connectivity, with capacity planning so performance scales with your business.
Cloud & Microsoft 365 Administration
Day-to-day administration of Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, and Google Workspace — identity, licensing, mailboxes, and collaboration tools managed and secured.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Automated, tested backups and recovery runbooks so a failed drive, ransomware hit, or accidental deletion never becomes a business outage.

Strategic IT roadmaps, budgeting, and lifecycle planning from a virtual CIO — plus we manage your software and connectivity vendors so you have one point of contact.
Managed IT vs. break/fix vs. hiring in-house
| Dimension | Break/fix | In-house IT hire | Managed IT (MSP) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost model | Per-incident, unpredictable | Salaries + benefits + tools | Flat monthly, predictable |
| Posture | Reactive — fix after it breaks | Varies with team capacity | Proactive — monitor and prevent |
| Coverage | Business hours, when you call | Limited by headcount and PTO | Help desk + monitoring, after-hours options |
| Breadth of skills | One vendor’s specialty | One or two generalists | A whole team’s specialties |
| Scales with growth | No | Slowly — hire more | Yes — add users and devices |
| Strategy (vCIO) | None | Maybe | Included roadmap and budgeting |
Break/fix quietly costs more: reactive support means longer outages, and downtime for small and mid-sized businesses is routinely estimated in the thousands of dollars per hour. Managed IT replaces surprise invoices and firefighting with a flat fee and proactive maintenance — which is why the managed-services model has become the default for organizations without a large internal IT department.
MSP, MSSP, or both?
| Dimension | MSP (managed IT) | MSSP (managed security) | MDR / managed SOC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main job | Keep IT running and users productive | Run your security program | Detect and stop attacks 24/7 |
| Core services | Help desk, devices, network, cloud, Microsoft 365, backups | SOC monitoring, MDR, firewall and SIEM management, vulnerability management, compliance reporting | Threat monitoring, investigation, containment, threat hunting |
| Security depth | Basics: patching, endpoint protection, identity, backups | Full program with audit evidence | Deep detection and response |
| 24/7 threat response | Not usually | Yes | Yes |
| Compliance evidence | Limited | Produced as part of the service | Incident records only |
| RHC Solutions service | Managed IT Services | Managed Security Services (MSSP) | Managed SOC & MDR |
Most growing companies need both: an MSP to run IT and an MSSP to run security. When they are different vendors, incidents fall between them. The MSP patches and manages devices, the MSSP sees an alert on one of those devices, and nobody owns the fix. RHC Solutions runs managed IT and managed security as one team, so the people who manage your systems also respond to the threats on them.
How to choose an MSP: 8 questions to ask
- What is included in the monthly fee? Get the help desk, monitoring, patching, backups, and vendor management listed in writing.
- What are your response times? Ask for SLAs by priority, including after hours.
- How do you handle security? Ask whether endpoint protection, patching, MFA, and backup testing are standard, and who responds to an attack.
- Do you also offer managed security? One provider for IT and security removes the hand-off gaps.
- How do you onboard us? A good MSP starts with a full audit of devices, users, licenses, and risks.
- Will we get a strategy, not just support? Look for a vCIO roadmap, budgeting, and quarterly reviews.
- Can you work alongside our IT staff? Co-managed IT lets internal admins keep projects while the MSP covers the rest.
- What happens if we leave? Confirm you keep admin access, documentation, and passwords.
How we engage
Onboarding starts with a full audit of your environment — devices, users, licenses, network, and risks — so we manage from facts, not assumptions. We then standardize and secure the basics (patching, backups, identity, endpoint protection), put monitoring in place, and agree clear response SLAs. From there you get a named team, monthly reporting, and a quarterly technology review with your vCIO. Engagements are flexible: we can run your IT entirely (fully managed) or co-manage alongside an internal admin, covering after-hours, surge work, and the specialist skills you don't keep on staff. Because we're vendor-neutral, we work with the tools you already own rather than forcing a rip-and-replace.
