Our Journey
Every Milestone, a Testament to Innovation:
Originating in Huntington Beach, California, CRC Cloud began with a Private Data Center built on Prime 2250 Mini Computers, supporting mission-critical programs for aerospace, refinery, and offshore enterprises.
As personal computers became more prevalent, networking became essential. We introduced our clients to Novell, enabling interconnected workspaces and laying the foundation for modern collaboration.
The arrival of Windows for Workgroups transformed small business computing. It provided a practical alternative to Novell, and CRC Cloud quickly adapted, helping clients embrace this new IT landscape.
With the rapid advancements in Intel CPU performance, we guided our clients away from Prime Mini Computers and into the era of versatile, powerful personal computers.
Microsoft’s release of Windows NT marked another leap forward. We adopted this advanced platform to strengthen our networking and system capabilities for clients.
The year 2000 was a turning point. We shifted from a traditional Time-and-Material model to proactive Maintenance and Support services — the first of its kind in Orange County. During this period, we also guided clients through successive Windows Server migrations to keep their systems current and competitive.
As business requirements grew, single-server environments proved inadequate. We began deploying multiple servers to distribute workloads, ensuring resilience and performance across client applications.
CRC Cloud’s Private Cloud Data Center was established in Lake Forest, California. Built on enterprise-grade storage, multi-server architecture, redundant firewalls, and dual LAN/Internet connectivity, it delivered secure, seamless, and highly reliable operations.
By moving beyond traditional multi-server deployments, we consolidated session hosts, domain controllers, and database servers into cloud farms. This evolution not only reduced costs and streamlined management but also strengthened cybersecurity by centralizing controls and improving system resilience.
We transitioned our on-premise data center into a managed facility in California, emphasizing enhanced security, uptime, and earthquake resilience. With best-in-class infrastructure, we ensured continuity and reinforced client trust.
CRC Cloud introduced high-performance SSD storage farms, enabling faster and more efficient cloud computing. This innovation brought Flash SSD technology to our clients, reinforcing our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions.
We integrated artificial intelligence into our data center operations. Leveraging predictive analytics, our systems gained self-diagnosing capabilities, enabling proactive issue detection and resolution before problems impacted performance.
