StepKnock LLC Information

Modernizing and hardening IT environments so storage, backup, recovery and security work together. IBM Silver Business Partner. Most IT and security teams spend the week on patches, alerts, user issues and audits. The backups run and the storage is up, but few teams get the time to prove that recovery would work on a bad day. That gap is what turns into downtime, an audit finding or a hard question from the board. We talk with IT teams in many different environments, so we notice patterns that are hard to spot from inside one: - backups that have never had a full recovery test - recovery times nobody has written down or agreed - storage, backup and security tools that do not connect - little view of performance or bottlenecks - tools that are owned but not fully used We help your team find where those gaps sit in your own setup, then connect you with the right partner technology and people to close them: modern storage, backup and recovery, and the security tools that protect them. Our partners include IBM, HP, AWS, Cisco and Fortinet. We are paid through our partners when a customer buys. If what you need is not something we sell, we will tell you and point you elsewhere. We do not run your environment, and we are not a managed service or a help desk. StepKnock is a small team in San Diego, working with IT teams across the US. We post short, practical notes on storage, backup and recovery, and keep working tools and quick checks at stepknock.com/toolkit, with nothing to sign up for. When did your team last restore something important, end to end?
