What Internetwork Engineering does

Internetwork Engineering (legal entity: Internetwork Services Incorporated) is a privately held IT services company founded in 1996 and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a regional office in Nashville, Tennessee. The company sells, implements, and manages enterprise technology infrastructure for mid-market and enterprise customers across the Southeast United States, operating as a Cisco Gold Integrator with specialty designations in Security and Collaboration. Its service portfolio is organized across four solution verticals — Collaboration (unified communications, contact center, conferencing), Networking (enterprise networking, Wi-Fi, IoT, SDN), Data Center (compute, storage, converged/hyperconverged, data protection, cloud), and Cybersecurity (network access control, endpoint protection, cloud security, identity management, threat intelligence) — supplemented by IT consulting, professional services, and recurring managed services (managed networking, managed data center/cloud, managed security, managed collaboration, managed IT operations).

The company's revenue mechanics blend three streams: managed services (recurring subscription contracts for ongoing infrastructure monitoring and operations), professional services (project-based consulting, design, implementation, and staff augmentation), and technology solutions (hardware/software resale from Cisco, Pure Storage, Cohesity, Palo Alto Networks, Duo, Tenable, Varonis, and others). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; managed services contracts bill monthly. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales combined with channel-driven demand from technology vendor partners, targeting primary verticals Healthcare and SLED (state/local government and education), with secondary exposure to Manufacturing, Service Provider, Retail, and Financial Services. Distribution relies on regional density in Charlotte and Nashville, augmented by partner co-marketing and an annual customer/prospect event (OktoberTekfest).

In October 2024, Internetwork Engineering was acquired by Presidio, a larger national managed IT services provider, becoming a subsidiary while retaining its Southeast regional operating presence and brand. The company employs 101-250 people, holds Cisco Gold Integrator and multiple Cisco specialty certifications, and has appeared consecutively on CRN Solution Provider 500, Tech Elite 250, and MSP 500 lists from 2020 through 2024, with select years earning CRN Triple Crown and Fast Growth 150 recognition. Recent strategic emphasis has shifted toward AI infrastructure resale (Cisco AI Pods), AI-augmented cybersecurity services (Cisco Hypershield/Nexus AI-driven Zero Trust), and federal compliance readiness (CMMC Level 1).
