Our Mission
To deliver reliable, enterprise-grade IT support to South Suburbs small businesses at a price that makes sense — protecting what they have built, empowering them to grow, and proving that great technology is not just for big companies.
Our Story
Alara IT Solutions LLC was founded in March 2026 in Hazel Crest, Illinois with a single purpose: to give South Suburbs small businesses access to the kind of technology support that has always been reserved for larger companies with bigger budgets.
We serve the businesses that keep this community running — law firms, medical offices, churches, nonprofits, real estate agencies, and family-owned businesses — that need reliable, professional IT support but have never had a dedicated team watching over their technology. That is exactly what we provide.
Alara IT Solutions offers three tiers of managed IT services ranging from $299 to $2,000 per month, covering everything a small business needs to operate securely and efficiently — remote helpdesk support, 24/7 network monitoring, cybersecurity protection, patch management, backup and disaster recovery, firewall management, and strategic IT planning. For businesses that also need ongoing website maintenance and security, our Website Care add-on has that covered too.
What sets us apart is not just what we know — it is where we are. Our certifications include the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), Cisco Certified Support Technician in Cybersecurity (CCST), and ITIL Foundation. Our hands-on experience spans enterprise networking at Cisco Meraki, large-scale event infrastructure at Cisco Live, data center cabling, and AI-powered systems design. These are credentials and experiences that most IT providers in this market simply do not have.
But beyond the certifications, what truly separates Alara IT Solutions is our commitment to this community. We are not a remote helpdesk. We are not a call center. We are local, we are accessible, and when you reach out — you get a real person who knows your business, understands your needs, and treats your technology like it matters. Because to us, it does.
Experienced Leadership
Alara IT Solutions LLC is led by a CCNA-certified network engineer and cybersecurity professional with over 10 years of progressive, hands-on IT experience. From computer repair and structured cabling to enterprise networking and cybersecurity operations, the expertise behind this company has been built from the ground up — in the field, not in a classroom.
Our founder brings a rare combination of deep technical knowledge and proven leadership experience — holding certifications including a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), Cisco Certified Support Technician in Cybersecurity (CCST), and ITIL Foundation. Most recently, that experience included a Network Support Engineering role at Cisco Meraki and a place on Cisco Networking Academy's elite Cisco Live Dream Team.
Alara IT Solutions was not handed to us. It was built with purpose — for two daughters who are watching, and for a community that deserves better technology support than it has ever been given.
When you work with Alara IT Solutions, you are not getting a ticket number. You are getting a decade of real experience, showing up for your business like it is our own.
