What Eclipse Networks does

Eclipse Networks, Inc. is a privately-held managed IT services provider (MSP) founded in 1989 by Steve and Kathy Ryerse and headquartered in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area (Dunwoody/Atlanta address at 100 Ashford Center North, Suite 110), with additional operational sites in Cumming, Georgia and Tampa, Florida. The company delivers outsourced IT management to small and mid-sized businesses across four verticals — healthcare, construction, legal, and nonprofits — through a portfolio spanning managed IT support and service desk, professional services (infrastructure projects, cloud migrations, security initiatives), networking and WiFi (including SD-WAN and firewall configuration), co-managed IT for firms with internal IT staff, virtual CTO fractional technology leadership, in-house private cloud data center and co-location services, Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure cloud solutions, VoIP telephone systems and call center offerings, and a bundled cybersecurity, backup, and disaster recovery stack.

Underlying the service portfolio is an in-house private cloud data center operated from the Dunwoody headquarters, supplemented by Microsoft Azure public cloud capability added through the January 2019 acquisition of Anchor IT, LLC. The company standardizes delivery through a documented internal methodology called 'The Eclipse Way' and maintains a broad technology partner stack (Microsoft, Cisco, HP, VMware, Datto, APC, Broadview, Aruba, Meraki, Sentinel, Lenovo, Adtran) that enables enterprise-grade solution delivery to SMB clients. Service delivery is supported by 24/7 monitoring, endpoint and network management, vendor coordination, and strategic IT planning functions.

The business operates on a sales-led, subscription-based managed services model with recurring monthly contracts, supplemented by project-based professional services and hardware/software resale. GTM is direct, targeting SMB decision-makers in the Southeast US through consultative selling, content marketing, SEO, social media, email newsletters, and community engagement via Cobb and Gwinnett Chamber memberships and a Georgia Swarm sponsorship. Ownership is concentrated with founders Steve Ryerse (Chairman and President) and Kathy Ryerse (CEO), with no disclosed venture capital or private equity backing, indicating a bootstrapped, founder-controlled operating model.
