One Technology Partner for Your Entire Environment
Most commercial businesses, nonprofits, and government organizations end up with one company for IT support, another for phones, another for cameras, another for cybersecurity, another for cloud services, and someone else for the website. When those systems overlap, coordination gets complicated.
Mayer Networks brings managed IT support, cybersecurity, Microsoft 365, cloud, networking, backup and disaster recovery, VoIP, physical security, branding, and infrastructure expertise under one roof so your technology works as one connected environment.

Technology should be managed to a standard. Not a minimum.
We believe reliable technology starts with doing the fundamentals exceptionally well: proven cybersecurity, proactive monitoring, supported hardware and software, documented systems, tested backups, lifecycle planning and a realistic technology budget.
Our managed clients aren't buying a help desk. They're building an environment designed to remain secure, supportable and ready for what comes next.
What fully managed IT support looks like →What we expect from a managed environment
Security
Proven, enterprise-grade cybersecurity across users, endpoints, email and identity.
Monitoring
Systems monitored and maintained proactively, not only when something fails.
Lifecycle
Hardware and software replaced before they become business risks.
Backup & Recovery
Protected, monitored and tested — with a recovery plan behind the backup.
Documentation
A technology environment that is understood, documented and manageable.
Planning & Budgeting
A technology roadmap backed by a realistic annual budget.
Mayer Networks sets the standard. We help our clients maintain it.
A capability most MSPs rent
Most managed IT companies rely entirely on third-party cloud platforms. Mayer Networks has operated its own redundant datacenter infrastructure in Carbondale for more than a decade, giving us the flexibility to host critical applications, support legacy systems, and design recovery solutions around the needs of the client — not the limitations of someone else's platform.

What areas does Mayer Networks serve?
Mayer Networks is headquartered in Carbondale, Illinois and serves organizations throughout Southern Illinois and nearby areas of Missouri, Kentucky and Indiana.
Does Mayer Networks operate its own datacenter?
Yes. Mayer Networks owns and operates a datacenter in Carbondale, Illinois and has provided hosted services from it for more than a decade, with redundant datacenter capability used for hosting and disaster recovery.
Does Mayer Networks work with government organizations?
Yes. Municipalities, counties, courts, circuit clerks, sheriff's departments and election authorities are a core part of the practice, with attention to CJIS-aligned controls, documentation and procurement realities.
Can you host legacy applications that cannot move to modern platforms?
Often, yes. Applications tied to older Windows Server versions can frequently be hosted in an isolated, monitored environment while a longer-term plan is developed.
How do you price managed IT support?
Most managed agreements are a predictable monthly fee scoped to users, devices and systems covered, so budgeting does not depend on how many problems occur that month.
