Network Right provides managed IT services across four Bay Area sub-regions (San Francisco, the Peninsula, the South Bay and the East Bay) from one team based at 333 Bryant St in San Francisco. Plans start at $120 per user per month and include a dedicated consultant, US-based help desk, onsite visits and security. One provider covers every office.

One MSP for the whole Bay Area

Network Right is a Bay Area managed IT services provider that supports companies with offices, staff or both in several parts of the region. A single consultant manages your help desk, devices, networks and SaaS accounts whether your people sit in SoMa, Palo Alto, San Jose or Oakland. You sign one agreement and get one set of standards.

That matters because Bay Area companies rarely stay in one city. The founders start in a SoMa coworking suite. The first engineers live in the East Bay. Sales opens a Peninsula office near investors. Within two years there are three Wi-Fi networks, two ISPs and no single list of which laptops are encrypted.

A regional MSP gives every site the same four standards:

  • One identity system. Okta, Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 policies apply to everyone, in every office.
  • One device standard. Jamf, Iru (formerly Kandji) or Intune enrolls every laptop the same way, shipped to any address.
  • One network design. Firewalls, switches and access points follow the same template, so the South Bay office is as easy to support as the SF one.
  • One point of contact. Your consultant knows all your sites.

Network Right's homepage figures apply across the region: 4.95/5 NPS, 100K+ tickets handled, 99% SLA adherence and 5+ years average customer retention.

Robin Spencer, COO of Clearbit, described the service this way: "Network Right anticipates every issue and responds quickly, effectively, and professionally to every request or problem."

Bay Area managed IT coverage by sub-region

Network Right covers the Bay Area in four sub-regions, each with its own city pages. San Francisco is served from the SoMa office; the Peninsula, South Bay and East Bay are served by the same team through scheduled and on-demand visits. The table shows where each area's page lives and the work we see most there.

Sub-region Cities covered Common client profile Common IT work Network Right page
San Francisco All SF neighborhoods Startups and scale-ups, HQ offices Office buildouts, SOC 2 controls, help desk San Francisco (linked below)
Peninsula Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Mateo Venture-backed companies, investor-adjacent offices Executive support, secure remote access, conference rooms Palo Alto
South Bay San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mountain View Hardware, semiconductor and enterprise software teams Mixed Mac, Windows and Linux fleets, larger networks San Jose
East Bay Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville Climate, biotech and remote-first teams Home office kits, shared offices, device shipping Oakland and Berkeley

For the city itself, including the neighborhoods we cover and our stage-by-stage approach, see managed IT in San Francisco.

On the Peninsula, Palo Alto and the cities around Stanford hold many venture-backed teams and investor offices. Our page on managed IT services in Palo Alto covers that area.

In the South Bay, San Jose offices tend to be larger and more mixed-platform than SF startups. Details are on managed IT services in San Jose.

In the East Bay, Oakland has become a second home for SF companies that want more space per dollar. See managed IT services in Oakland.

Berkeley's mix of university spinouts and research-heavy startups gets its own page: managed IT services in Berkeley.

Supporting multi-office and hybrid Bay Area teams

A typical growing Bay Area company runs a hybrid model: a main office, one or more satellite sites and staff who work from home several days a week. Network Right supports all three with the same standards, so an employee in Walnut Creek gets the same laptop, access and help desk as one at the SF headquarters.

Here is how that works in practice:

  1. Onboarding ships, not waits. New hires get a pre-enrolled laptop delivered to their home or nearest office. They log in, and apps, Wi-Fi profiles and security settings install automatically.
  2. Networks follow a template. Each office gets the same firewall rules, VLAN layout and guest network. When a switch fails in Oakland, the replacement config already exists.
  3. Access follows the person. Okta or Google Workspace groups control what each role can reach, regardless of which office they badge into.
  4. Offboarding is one step. A departing employee loses access to every system the same afternoon, and their laptop is locked remotely until it comes back.

If your team is mostly remote with an occasional office day, our remote managed IT services page describes that model.

What's included in Bay Area managed IT

Every Network Right plan includes a dedicated IT consultant, help desk, networking support, security, asset management, onboarding and offboarding, and SaaS management. The Start-up plan is $120 per user per month; Scale-up is $170 and adds advanced networking, advanced security and AI readiness. Enterprise is custom.

  • Help desk. US-based technicians by Slack, email or phone, with escalation to your consultant.
  • Devices. Zero-touch setup through Jamf, Iru or Intune, plus encryption and remote wipe.
  • Networks. Firewalls, Wi-Fi, ISP coordination and monitoring for every office.
  • Security. MFA, endpoint protection, patching and phishing training, with SOC 2 support as you grow.
  • SaaS. Account provisioning, license cleanup and access reviews across Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack and the rest.

Day-to-day break-fix and desk-side help in the region has its own page: IT support in the Bay Area.

Planning onsite IT support across the Bay Area

Plan onsite support around each office's location, access requirements and workload. Routine hardware changes, new-hire setups and maintenance can be grouped into planned visits. Urgent problems need a clear escalation path and an agreed response scope, especially when teams work across several cities.

Most tickets never need a visit. Password resets, app access, printer queues and laptop issues are fixed remotely. Visits are for hardware, new offices, network changes and anything a person needs to see.

When you are weighing how much in-person help you need, our page on onsite IT support options explains the visit models and when remote support is enough.

Frequently asked questions

Does Network Right cover the whole Bay Area or only San Francisco?

Network Right covers the whole Bay Area: San Francisco, the Peninsula (Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Mateo), the South Bay (San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mountain View) and the East Bay (Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville). The team is based in SoMa and travels to client sites across the region.

How fast can Network Right get onsite in the South Bay?

Onsite timing in San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale and Mountain View depends on the issue, technician availability and access to the building. Include urgent response needs and routine visit frequency in your support plan. Remote troubleshooting can often address app access and device issues while onsite work is arranged.

Can one managed IT provider support offices in San Francisco and Oakland?

Yes. Network Right runs both offices on one network template, one identity system and one device standard, managed by one consultant. Tickets from either office go into the same queue, and onsite visits are scheduled wherever the work is. You get one invoice and one set of documentation.

Is Bay Area managed IT priced differently by city?

Network Right's published rates are $120 per user per month on Start-up and $170 on Scale-up, with Enterprise priced per engagement. Include every office address and your onsite needs in the quote so regional visits and any additional charges are clear.

How do you set up laptops for remote Bay Area employees?

Network Right uses zero-touch enrollment through Apple Business (formerly Apple Business Manager) with Jamf or Iru for Macs, and Windows Autopilot with Intune for PCs. The laptop ships sealed to the employee's home. On first login it pulls apps, Wi-Fi profiles, encryption settings and security agents automatically.

What happens when we open a new office in the Bay Area?

Network Right plans the network, orders circuits, configures firewalls and access points from your standard template, and sets up conference rooms. Start 60 to 90 days before move-in. Business fiber in older Oakland and San Jose buildings can require landlord and riser approvals before a carrier schedules installation.

Can you support engineers on Linux workstations?

Yes. Network Right supports mixed fleets, which are common in South Bay hardware and infrastructure teams. Linux machines get inventory tracking, endpoint protection and patching policies alongside Macs managed in Jamf or Iru and Windows devices in Intune, so one asset list covers every machine.

Do you support companies with offices outside California?

Yes. Network Right has a second office at 408 Broadway in New York and supports remote staff across the US. Bay Area companies with an East Coast hub keep one provider and one consultant, and New York staff get local onsite help from the Manhattan team.

Does Bay Area managed IT include cybersecurity?

Yes. Every plan includes fundamental IT security: MFA, endpoint protection, patching and access control. Scale-up adds advanced security, and Enterprise adds a vCISO, quarterly security audit reports and a dedicated projects team. SOC 2 readiness work fits into any plan as your customers start asking for reports.

How long does it take to switch Bay Area offices to Network Right?

The schedule depends on the number of offices, existing tools and access to your systems. Network Right documents each site's network, collects admin credentials, standardizes device management and moves support into one queue. A staged handover gives each office a clear transition date and support contact.
