What Cosmos IT does

Cosmos IT is a privately held Norwegian information technology services firm headquartered in Sandefjord, founded in 2017 and operating with a four-person team. It functions as a one-stop IT partner primarily for Norwegian small and medium-sized businesses, with secondary reach into mid-market and enterprise customers requiring dedicated infrastructure. Its portfolio spans four pillars: cloud services (public, private, and hybrid) delivered from its own Sandefjord datacenter, including ASP hosting, dedicated virtual servers, Cloud Connect backup and disaster recovery, and Microsoft Azure reselling; Microsoft 365/Office 365 resold across Basic, Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium, E3, and E5 tiers; security services including firewall-as-a-service, antivirus, email security, and Cisco Umbrella DNS-layer protection; and professional services covering IT consulting, infrastructure health checks, and custom website design.

The underlying technology stack is built on Cosmos IT's own datacenter in Sandefjord, which underpins ASP, dedicated virtual server hosting, and disaster recovery operations, supplemented by integration with Veeam (Cloud Connect), VMware (Service Provider Pro virtualization), Citrix (application delivery), Microsoft Azure, Cisco Umbrella (DNS security), Aruba (wireless networking), and WatchGuard (firewall). The team carries 11–15 years of experience in datacenter operations, virtualization, networking, backup, and storage. Cosmos IT holds Microsoft CSP Silver, VMware Service Provider Pro, Citrix Partner Service Pro, and Veeam Cloud Partner designations, which it leverages to deliver enterprise-grade tooling to SMB customers.

Cosmos IT's revenue model is dominated by recurring subscriptions: monthly Microsoft 365/Office 365 fees (45.99–505.16 NOK/user), datacenter-hosted cloud services (virtual servers, ASP, disaster recovery), managed services agreements (driftsavtaler), security subscriptions, and a separate Basic Support layer at 70 NOK/user/month. Project-based revenue comes from consulting engagements and custom website builds. The company sells directly via phone, email, and its website (cosmosit.no), with no disclosed channel partners. Geographic scope is limited to a single country (Norway), and the customer base is horizontal — i.e., SMBs across industries — with no named anchor customers or segment-level revenue mix disclosed.
