Why ButeraNet

Most small businesses and nonprofits in Hawaii are stuck with two bad options: pay break-fix rates and hope nothing goes wrong, or pay national MSP rates for a relationship that lives in a ticketing queue on the mainland. ButeraNet exists to be the third option — local, accountable, documented, and priced for organizations that actually need to run.

Documented, not tribal

Every engagement leaves the client with a binder. Network diagrams, configs, SOPs, asset register. If we ever part ways, you keep the work.

Security by default

VLAN segmentation, firewall hardening, and patching are baseline — not upsells. The network you'd build for a critical workload is the network we deploy for everyone.

Hawaii ops, Hawaii answers

When something breaks, you reach a person on-island who knows your network. No tier-1 triage queue. No mainland time zones.

Pro bono founding case

The practice opens with a fully-donated engagement at a local nonprofit — the same enterprise-grade network that paid clients receive, given freely as our community contribution.

What We Build

Four service layers — Network, Network + Server, AI, and Compliance. Tiered managed services from $200/month for a Tier 1 small business up to $3,000/month for a fully-compliant regulated environment. See pricing for the full breakdown.
