Portolan Networks

Portolan Networks is a managed IT services provider based in Sarasota, Florida, serving small and mid-sized businesses across Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte counties. Founded in 2020, we provide managed and co-managed IT support, cybersecurity, cloud services and migrations, backup and disaster recovery, business VoIP, Microsoft 365 management, and IT asset disposal.

Every Managed IT client starts with a security baseline included as part of the core offering, not sold as an upsell — endpoint protection, DNS filtering, and access management come standard, with additional protections such as identity threat detection, security posture management, and vulnerability management available depending on your environment.

We work with businesses of all sizes, from small teams of 4-5 employees to organizations with 100+ staff, with particularly strong results for businesses in the 10-30 employee range. Whether a business needs full outsourced IT support or wants to supplement an existing in-house team, we tailor our services to how that team actually works, rather than fitting clients into a rigid, one-size-fits-all package.

Our approach emphasizes proactive monitoring and prevention over reactive break-fix support, backed by disaster recovery planning built for the realities of operating a business on Florida's Gulf Coast, including hurricane season resilience.
