Our Services
Complete IT services for South Texas businesses
Six core service lines, all delivered by one trusted local team. From a single broken machine to full infrastructure management — explore what Lanics can do for your business.
Service 01
Computer Repair
done right the first time
Slow machine, startup failure, or full crash — our technicians diagnose accurately and fix thoroughly, whether you bring it in or we come to you.
Virus & Malware Removal
We fully remove viruses, spyware, ransomware, and adware — not just quarantine them. Then we install and configure layered endpoint protection so the infection can't return. We also explain how it happened so your team can avoid it next time.
Startup & Shutdown Failures
Blue screens, boot loops, black screens, and machines that won't power on — we've diagnosed thousands of these. We isolate whether the issue is software, firmware, hardware, or a corrupted OS and repair at the root cause, not just the symptom.
System Slowness & Optimization
A machine that worked great two years ago shouldn't feel sluggish today. We eliminate startup bloat, clear fragmented temp files, realign software configurations, and tune OS settings — often restoring near-new performance without replacing any hardware.
Software Conflicts & Reinstalls
Corrupt installations, failed updates, driver conflicts, and application crashes can paralyze a workstation. We resolve software-layer problems cleanly — reinstalling OS environments, migrating user data, and ensuring all applications and licenses are properly restored.
Remote Support — Fixed in Minutes
Many issues don't require a visit. Using our ScreenConnect remote session tool, we can connect to your machine within minutes during business hours and resolve software, configuration, and performance issues without you leaving your desk.
Computer Repair by Lanics
Fast diagnosis. Real fixes.
No guesswork.
In-Shop Repair
Drop it off and we'll diagnose, fix, and have it ready for pickup — typically within 1–2 business days.
On-Site Service
We come to your business or home — minimal disruption, no need to transport sensitive equipment.
Service 02
Hardware Upgrades
built for your budget
Before buying a new machine, talk to us. The right upgrade can double the lifespan of existing hardware — at a fraction of replacement cost.
RAM Upgrades — More Multitasking Power
Running out of memory is the single most common cause of slowdowns in business computers. Adding RAM lets your machine run more applications simultaneously without swapping to disk. We identify compatible modules, install them correctly, and verify stability under load.
SSD Replacement — Dramatically Faster Storage
Swapping a traditional spinning hard drive for a solid-state drive is the highest-impact upgrade most computers can receive. Boot times go from minutes to seconds. Applications launch instantly. We handle the drive swap, clone your existing data, and verify everything boots correctly before delivery.
CPU & GPU Upgrades — Raw Processing Power
For workstations handling video editing, CAD, data analysis, or intensive accounting software, processor and graphics card upgrades can be transformational. We verify socket and chipset compatibility, perform the upgrade, reinstall drivers, and stress-test the new configuration.
Right-Sized Sourcing for Your Budget
We don't push premium parts when mid-range components solve the problem. We assess your workload, match the right specifications, source components from trusted suppliers, and pass fair pricing through to you — no markup surprises. Business purchasing orders and volume discounts available.

More performance.
Less cost than replacement.
Single Machine
One computer needing a specific upgrade — we'll assess, source, and deliver.
Fleet Refresh
Multiple workstations upgraded in a coordinated rollout, minimizing business disruption.
Service 03
Threat Protection
before & after an attack
Cyber threats aren't hypothetical — they're hitting Laredo businesses right now. We remove active infections and build defenses that keep them out for good.
Active Threat Removal
Ransomware, spyware, rootkits, adware, trojans — when your machine is infected, every minute matters. We isolate the affected system, perform a deep-scan removal, and verify clean operation before bringing it back online. We identify the entry point so it can't happen again through the same vector.
Endpoint Protection Deployment
We configure and deploy managed endpoint protection across every machine in your network — not just a basic antivirus install, but a monitored solution with real-time threat detection, behavioral analysis, and centralized alerting. When something triggers, we know before you do.
Email Security & Phishing Defense
Over 90% of cyberattacks start with a phishing email. We configure email filtering, sender authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and can provide employee phishing simulation training — turning your staff from the weakest link into a line of defense.
Firewall Configuration & Network Security
Your firewall is only as strong as its configuration. We audit and properly configure perimeter firewalls, set up network segmentation to limit breach spread, and disable unnecessary services and open ports that leave your network exposed.
Security Assessment & Remediation Plan
Not sure where your vulnerabilities are? We perform a practical security assessment of your network, workstations, and practices — delivering a prioritized remediation plan with clear next steps. No alarmism, just honest findings and actionable fixes.
Threat Protection by Lanics
Remove the threat.
Prevent the next one.
Incident Response
Active infection? We prioritize cleanup, containment, and root-cause analysis immediately.
Ongoing Protection
Monitored endpoint security and email filtering — proactive defense, not reactive cleanup.
Service 04
Network Installation
designed for your business
Your network is the foundation everything else runs on. We design it right — for your building, your team, and your budget — and we stay to support it.
Wired Network Design & Installation
We design structured cabling layouts that provide reliable, high-speed connectivity to every workstation, printer, IP camera, and server in your building. Cat6/Cat6A runs, properly labeled, dressed, and terminated — with patch panels and network racks installed and documented for future maintenance.
Enterprise Wi-Fi Deployment
Consumer-grade routers create dead zones and security vulnerabilities in business environments. We deploy enterprise access points — properly positioned using site surveys, configured with separate SSIDs for staff and guests, with band steering and QoS to prioritize critical traffic like VoIP and video conferencing.
Firewall & Router Configuration
We configure business-grade firewalls with proper rules, NAT policies, and VPN setup. Site-to-site VPN for multi-location businesses, remote access VPN for hybrid workers, and content filtering for appropriate use — all documented and handed over with full admin credentials.
Multi-Location & Branch Connectivity
Multiple offices across Laredo or South Texas? We design and deploy unified network infrastructure with centralized management — consistent security policies, shared resources, and seamless communication between sites. Your branch offices feel like they're on the same network.
Network Documentation & Ongoing Support
Every network we install is fully documented — IP address maps, port labels, device inventory, and configuration backups. We hand this over so you're never dependent on us to understand your own network. Ongoing managed support is available to keep everything patched, monitored, and running.
Network Installation by Lanics
Built for reliability.
Designed to last.
New Installation
Design and build from the ground up — new office, new building, or a full network replacement.
Upgrade & Expand
Improve coverage, add capacity, and modernize an existing network without starting over.
Service 05
Data Backup & Recovery
protection you can count on
It's not if disaster strikes — it's when. A solid backup strategy is the difference between a bad afternoon and a business-ending event.
The 3-2-1 Backup Strategy
We implement the industry-standard 3-2-1 approach: three copies of your data, stored on two different media types, with one copy stored offsite or in the cloud. This ensures no single event — hardware failure, fire, flood, or ransomware — can destroy all your data simultaneously.
Local NAS & On-Premise Backup
We design and configure network-attached storage solutions for fast local backup and near-instant recovery. When a workstation crashes, you're back up in minutes — not hours waiting for a cloud download. NAS units are configured with RAID for hardware redundancy and scheduled backup jobs.
Cloud Backup & Offsite Protection
Local backups protect against hardware failure. Cloud backups protect against everything else — fire, theft, flooding, and ransomware that targets local storage. We configure automated encrypted cloud backup to secure, business-grade repositories that meet data retention and compliance requirements.
Automated Scheduling & Monitoring
Manual backups get forgotten — it's not a question of discipline, it's human nature. We configure fully automated backup schedules that run without anyone having to remember. We also monitor backup job results and alert you (and ourselves) immediately if a backup fails before it becomes a gap in your protection.
Restore Testing & Recovery Drills
A backup you've never tested is a backup you can't trust. We perform scheduled restore tests — actually recovering files and systems from backup — to confirm your data is truly recoverable. Many businesses discover their backups were incomplete or corrupted only when they need them most. We find that out first.
Data Backup by Lanics

Ready when you need it.

Service 06
Managed IT Services
your outsourced IT department
Stop reacting to problems and start preventing them. Our managed IT service gives you enterprise-grade IT operations for a predictable monthly cost.
24/7 Infrastructure Monitoring
We monitor your servers, workstations, network devices, and critical services around the clock. When something goes wrong at 2 AM, we know about it before your employees arrive in the morning. Proactive monitoring catches failing drives, memory issues, and network outages before they become emergencies.
Proactive Patch Management
Unpatched software is the #1 attack vector for business networks. We manage Windows and third-party application updates across your entire fleet — testing patches in a controlled manner, then deploying during off-hours so updates never interrupt your business day.
Dedicated Help Desk Support
When your employees have IT problems, they call or email us — not you. Our help desk handles everything from password resets to application issues to printer troubleshooting. Tickets are tracked, responded to within defined SLAs, and resolved completely with follow-up to confirm everything is working.
Security Management & Compliance
Managed endpoint protection, email security, firewall management, and user access controls — all handled and monitored by Lanics. For businesses with compliance requirements (HIPAA, PCI, etc.), we document our controls and can assist with audit preparation and evidence gathering.
Strategic IT Planning & Budgeting
We become your virtual CIO — meeting quarterly to review system health, plan hardware refresh cycles, and align IT investments with your business goals. You always know what's coming, what it will cost, and why it matters. No surprise capital expenditures, no reactive purchases at the worst possible time.
