Managed network and security services for Houston businesses, from a team with decades of oil and gas communications experience. Cisco Meraki and Fortinet specialists, backed by a staffed 24/7 NOC & SOC.

Hydrasat was founded around oil & gas communications, offshore and land, and our team brings decades of oil and gas communications experience to every network we build. The company started in 2012 supporting offshore drilling rigs, where a network outage could not wait until Monday morning, and our techs boarded rigs to handle design, implementation and troubleshooting at sea. Today our Houston office brings that experience to businesses across the greater Houston area, from energy operators and industrial sites to offices, warehouses and campuses.

Decades of oil & gas communications experience

Energy networks have to work in places most IT providers never see. Our oil & gas communications services cover secure voice, data and internet for drilling, platforms, shore bases and remote offices:

• Connectivity packages for offshore and land operations: voice, internet and corporate data
• LAN, WAN and network security design suited to remote and industrial sites
• Integration of satellite (VSAT) and other remote links with campus and shore-base networks
• Help using sensors and related devices where they improve monitoring and safety
• Ongoing network management so capacity, firmware and security stay current

We have secured networks in demanding environments such as offshore oil & gas rigs, refineries and manufacturing sites. That shapes how we design: we look at the attack surface, work out how to shrink it, and build security layers that hold up in day-to-day operations. For harsh locations, we supply rugged hardware such as the DIN-rail Cisco Secure Firewall ISA3000, built for industrial environments like oil and gas.

Managed network and security services for Houston businesses

Not every Houston customer runs a rig. The same engineers manage networks for offices, warehouses, campuses and multi-site companies:

• 24/7 NOC & SOC: a staffed network and security operations center that monitors firewalls, switches, wireless and WAN links, works alerts and reviews security events, days, nights and weekends.
• Managed Meraki Access: monitoring, firmware in agreed change windows, configuration changes, Cisco Duo and Cisco Umbrella operations, and Meraki license tracking.
• Comprehensive layered security: perimeter firewalls, DNS-layer and email security, multi-factor authentication, and segmentation that keeps cameras, payment systems, guests and staff traffic apart.
• Reliable and secure infrastructure: cabling, switching, wireless and WAN / SD-WAN with redundant links and failover where uptime matters most.
• Secure network design & implementation: from remote sites to campus networks, with documentation for the people who run the network after cutover. Onsite work in Houston is done by our own team.
• Secure network hardware sales: Cisco, Cisco Meraki and Fortinet equipment, with licensing and renewals quoted alongside so nothing is orphaned at renewal time.

Cisco Meraki and Fortinet, managed by specialists

Most managed IT providers are generalists. Hydrasat goes deep on two platforms that energy and commercial networks run on: Cisco Meraki and Fortinet. We sell, configure and support Fortinet FortiGate firewalls, from compact desktop units to 1RU models with 10G ports, as well as Cisco Meraki security appliances, switches and wireless, and the Cisco Meraki licensing that keeps them running. We are a Cisco Partner and a Fortinet Partner, and our certified engineers are Hydrasat employees, not a third-party helpdesk.
