Echo IT Consulting LLC (Echo IT) is an IT consulting firm specializing in server virtualization and hosting services, Open Source solution packages, LAN/WAN and Voice-over-IP (VoIP) support to a wide variety of regional and national customers. One area Echo IT is particularly focused on is providing experienced assistance in the physical to virtual (P2V) conversion of business servers to private virtualization platforms (VMWare, Citrix XenServer), or to public cloud based services (e.g. Rackspace, Amazon EC2), and the option of ongoing hosting and system admin support. Echo IT also provides comprehensive IT support services to businesses in the 4-Corners region. By leveraging best-of-breed Open Source (OS) tools such as Zimbra (email and shared calendar), Asterisk (Linux-based VoIP phone system), and other OS solutions, Echo IT can provide extremely cost efficient solutions that don't sacrifice any functionality over higher priced proprietary alternatives. Echo IT can also provide support for traditional business software and network platforms (Microsoft, Cisco, etc.) when and where these are the best solutions for a company. Each unique business environment calls for a different set of solutions, considering both Open Source and proprietary options as they best fit the needs of the customer within the constraints of their budget is a difficult balancing act. Echo IT Consulting aims to find this balance and deliver maximum value for the dollar to the customer.
