IT Support Close to Long Beach

Our office in downtown Huntington Beach is a short drive from Long Beach, so on-site help is never far away — and it’s included in Managed Care. Calls are answered by an engineer in under 60 seconds, and every email or portal ticket gets a real engineer within 20 minutes Monday–Friday, 5 AM–6 PM.

Around the Airport, Douglas Park and the Harbor

The land around Long Beach Airport has built aircraft since the first plane rolled out here in December 1941, and military cargo jets were built at the airport until 2015. The city’s Globemaster Corridor Specific Plan, approved in 2021, now covers 437 acres around the airport, including the old cargo-jet plant, which a launch company leased for its headquarters and factory. Another rocket maker also has its headquarters and a plant in Long Beach, and Douglas Park, the commercial park just north of the airport, has drawn space companies of its own.

Fast-growing space and manufacturing companies tend to add people, machines and contractors faster than their IT keeps up. New hires need laptops and secure accounts on day one, shop-floor equipment needs its own network, and engineering files need backups that are tested, not assumed. Our backup and disaster recovery service is built for that.

On the water, the Port of Long Beach supports more than 30,000 jobs in the city, and the Alameda Corridor carries its rail freight north toward Los Angeles. Downtown, offices near Pine Avenue often sit in older buildings where cabling and internet options need a closer look before a move. From our office, it’s about 14 miles as the crow flies, usually a quick run up the 405 through Seal Beach.
