Managed IT Services in San Bernardino, California

San Bernardino is the county seat of the largest county in the continental United States. Government, logistics, healthcare, and education all have a big footprint here, from California State University San Bernardino to the city's medical centers and county offices. AdVran provides managed IT and cybersecurity to businesses across the city, from small offices to large operations.

As the Inland Empire keeps growing, local companies are under pressure to update their IT, protect sensitive data, and stay compliant. We take that work off your staff's plate.

Freight, Air Cargo, and County Government

A lot of San Bernardino's economy moves on rails and runways. BNSF Railway runs one of its 27 intermodal facilities in the city and calls the Southern Transcon, its direct line between San Bernardino and Chicago, the terminal's biggest contribution to its network.

On the southeast side, the former Norton Air Force Base is now San Bernardino International Airport. The city's General Plan puts the airport land at about 1,350 acres, with a separate trade center of roughly 652 acres. Cargo carriers found it. UPS added the airport to its air network in late 2017 and FedEx Express opened a facility in 2018, FreightWaves reported in May 2020, when the airport authority confirmed Amazon Air as the tenant of a 700,000-square-foot cargo campus with room for 14 aircraft. Landed cargo weight had jumped 93 percent the year before, to 352 million pounds.

County offices, courts, and the schools that serve them keep a large public-sector workforce in town. Cal State San Bernardino enrolled 17,900 students in fall 2024.

The public sector here has already paid for a cyberattack. In May 2023, San Bernardino County confirmed it paid a $1.1 million ransom after hackers got into Sheriff's Department computers, and ABC7 reported that the county's share after insurance was about $511,000.

What that mix means for IT around here:

• Shipping and warehouse systems that never close. A carrier, broker, or 3PL tied to the rail yard or the airport runs scanners, dock doors, and a warehouse management system around the clock. Those devices belong on their own network, away from office email.
• Vendors to the county and the schools. Contractors that touch government or student records get asked about security in contracts and questionnaires. A written security program with logs to back it up answers those questions faster. See NIST 800-171 for the framework that comes up most.
• Clinics and hospitals. Hospitals and medical practices may exchange patient records. HIPAA obligations depend on the organization and information involved.

Earthquakes, Wind, and Fire in San Bernardino

The city's own General Plan is blunt about seismic risk: the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults both run through San Bernardino, and it rates the potential for fault rupture, strong shaking, landslides, and liquefaction as high. The same plan says downslope canyon and Santa Ana winds off the San Bernardino Mountains can reach 90 to 100 mph, strongest at the canyon mouths. The city's Local Hazard Mitigation Plan covers earthquakes, floods, wildfire, and severe weather.

Fire has hit this area hard before. The 2003 Old Fire started in the San Bernardino National Forest, burned about 91,000 acres, forced evacuations of 15 communities, and destroyed more than 900 structures, according to a U.S. Forest Service research paper on the 2003 fires.

For an office or warehouse in the city, we plan for these:

• A server room that shakes. Rack equipment should be braced and bolted down, and nothing important should live only on one box in one building. Copies of your data go to a cloud region outside Southern California, since a big San Andreas quake would hit the whole region at once.
• Wind and fire outages. Windstorms knock down lines and bring precautionary power shutoffs. Critical systems get battery backup long enough to shut down cleanly, and a cellular backup line keeps the office online when the cable or fiber provider is down too.
• Ransomware. The county's own incident shows attackers go after organizations here. Immutable backups, multi-factor authentication, and tested restores can improve recovery options.

AdVran works from its Anaheim headquarters. We do most San Bernardino work remotely and come out for hardware installs, cabling, and anything that needs hands on equipment.
