Where We Come From

It All Started With a Tree…

Continuity Centers started from a rather unusual genesis: it was because of a tree. Way back when, before the Internet existed, Greg became fascinated with some of the first PC-based games. Wanting to be able to play “online” with friends, he installed a 10Mbps laser Ethernet system to beam the IPX packets between to a friend’s house around the corner. However, as spring waned on, their signal became strangely intermittent, especially on windy days.

With his experience and knowledge of the 7 layers of the OSI Model, he started troubleshooting at the physical layer, which quickly uncovered the issue: a budding maple tree was interrupting their laser signal with each gust of wind. To resolve these network outages, armed with a tool that most engineers don’t carry – a bow saw – he cut a “window” in the tree, leaving a perfect wedge-shaped hole to allow the laser beam to pass through without issue.

The “nothing can stand (or grow) in my way” attitude intensified his devotion to technology and what he could use technology for – and in the future, for his clients.

We Are IT People

One thing that makes Continuity Centers very different from other IT support providers is the level of technical knowledge held by each and every one of our people. Unlike many of our competitors in IT support, whether you speak with one of our technical support specialists on the phone or our CEO, you can expect to receive expert knowledge from a local, seasoned IT professional.

Our Personal Values

We are committed to serving people, and we are not satisfied until your IT needs are met flawlessly.

When Hurricane Sandy hit the Eastern seaboard, Continuity Centers was there to ensure customers didn’t suffer downtime; perhaps as important, however, we provided customers with the confidence that we understood their situation and were an ally during their greatest time of need. Partnering with Continuity Centers guarantees you expert IT knowledge from professionals who are committed to your success.
