How does NRVPC work with Alexandria businesses?

NRVPC is a managed service provider (MSP) based in Fairfax, Virginia. We provide managed IT services to Alexandria businesses along the I-495 corridor. Founded in 2006, NRVPC builds IT departments for firms that run on company-owned computers. In Alexandria that means legal practices near the federal courthouse in Carlyle, associations and nonprofits along King Street, medical practices around Seminary Road, and professional services firms on Eisenhower Avenue. Our average response time is 12 minutes, and 63% of issues are resolved remotely within the hour. When a visit is needed, one-hour on-site response applies. Picture your team working from the office, from home, or from a client site with everything they need, and a person they know answering the phone.

What does managed IT for an Alexandria business include?

One monthly fee covers all of it for every employee on a company-owned computer. Project work of 8 hours or more is scoped and billed separately, so the monthly number stays predictable.

  • Managed IT Services: your complete IT department, covering devices, network, email, security, and planning.
  • IT Help Desk: direct access to certified engineers by phone, remote session, or on-site, unlimited for every employee.
  • Remote IT Monitoring: 24/7 monitoring of servers, workstations, and network gear, so an issue is detected in an average of 8 minutes.
  • Network Security Management: managed firewall (Sophos, SonicWall, or UniFi), endpoint protection on every computer, MFA on email and VPN, quarterly security audits, and employee awareness training.
  • Cloud Solutions: Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace done right, so your Alexandria team accesses files and applications securely from the office, home, or client sites at 99.99% uptime.
  • IT Consulting: 3-year technology roadmaps, hardware refresh budgeting, and independent vendor evaluation.

Every client also gets user onboarding and offboarding, documented firewall rules, encryption on devices that hold sensitive data, and equipment kept under warranty with nothing past end of life.

Where in Alexandria does NRVPC provide on-site IT support?

Everywhere the city does business. Alexandria is an independent city, separate from Fairfax County, on the southern loop of the Capital Beltway. Every district below is inside our standard service area:

  • Old Town and King Street: the historic business district running from the King Street-Old Town Metro station to the Potomac River, home to law offices, consulting firms, and the headquarters of national associations and nonprofits.
  • Carlyle and Eisenhower Avenue: the office district anchored by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office campus and the federal courthouse, served by the Eisenhower Avenue Metro station. The law firms, patent practices, and contractors clustered here depend on secure, documented networks.
  • Del Ray and Potomac Yard: a growing professional community along Mount Vernon Avenue and the Potomac Yard-VT Metro station, which opened in May 2023 beside Virginia Tech's Innovation Campus.
  • The West End and Seminary Road: the hospital campus on Seminary Road, the medical and dental practices around it, and the Mark Center office complex at Seminary Road and Beauregard Street.
  • Van Dorn Street and Duke Street: the business parks and multi-tenant office buildings near the Van Dorn Street Metro station.

One-hour on-site response applies to all of them. Most of what your team needs is handled remotely the same hour; when hands are needed on a switch, a server, or a workstation, an engineer comes to you.

The person who answers your call is the person who knows your network, and when a visit is needed, one-hour on-site response applies.

What happens in an IT Assessment

In an IT assessment, you and Zach Launey, NRVPC's President, review your current environment, security and compliance. It ends in recommendations and a roadmap.

  1. A 15-minute intro call

    You tell Zach your objectives, what you wish were different about your IT, and what you would have technology do if you could wave a magic wand.

  2. A review of your environment

    We review your devices, network, platforms, and security posture. If you have an office, that means about an hour there, looking at your network equipment and printers. Fully remote teams meet on a video call.

  3. Recommendations and a roadmap

    Then we show you exactly what a managed plan would cover.
