Enterprise-grade infrastructure without the capital expenditure. Available through Equalis Group cooperative purchasing.
Secure Logic is an awarded supplier on the Equalis Group contract through Region 10 ESC, providing compliant procurement access to K-12 school districts, counties, municipalities, and state agencies nationwide.
School districts and public agencies face unique infrastructure challenges that demand specialized solutions
Every 3-5 years, districts face massive capital expenditures to replace aging servers—competing with teacher salaries and instructional budgets.
FERPA, CJIS, HIPAA, IRS 1075—maintaining compliance frameworks requires expertise that small IT teams don't have.
Public cloud egress fees, variable pricing, and surprise bills make budget planning impossible for fixed-budget public agencies.
Traditional RFPs take 6-12 months. By the time hardware arrives, it's already a generation behind.
K-12 IT staff are stretched thin managing help desk, curriculum apps, and infrastructure—with no bandwidth for data center operations.
Most districts lack the resources to build and test true geographic redundancy, leaving critical data vulnerable.
Purpose-built solutions that eliminate infrastructure headaches while maintaining control and predictability
Your infrastructure never ages. Rolling upgrades included in flat monthly pricing mean you're always on current-generation technology without capital expenditure or migration projects.

Common questions from K-12 superintendents, technology directors, and CFOs
Equalis Group partners with lead agencies (like Region 10 ESC) to conduct competitive public solicitations on behalf of their members. Once awarded, any eligible public agency can access the contract through a simple Interlocal Agreement—no separate RFP required. This saves 6-12 months of procurement time while maintaining full legal compliance.
Yes. Cooperative purchasing through competitively solicited contracts is legal in all 50 states under various state statutes. The Region 10 ESC contract was procured through a rigorous public RFP process that meets or exceeds procurement requirements nationwide. Your procurement/legal team can review the full solicitation documentation at the Equalis Group website.
K-12 school districts, counties, municipalities, state agencies, higher education institutions, and qualifying non-profit organizations can access the contract. Equalis Group membership is free and takes less than 5 minutes to complete.
Instead of buying hardware that ages and becomes obsolete, Continuous Hardware Refresh provides rolling upgrades throughout your contract term. As new hardware generations become available, Secure Logic schedules phased migrations to keep your infrastructure current—all included in your flat monthly fee. No capital expenditure, no forklift replacements, no technology debt.
Yes. Secure Logic supports VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Proxmox VE. You maintain full control of your virtualization layer while we manage the underlying physical infrastructure, networking, and storage.
From contract execution to production deployment: 1-3 business days for standard configurations from our $20M ready-to-deploy inventory. Custom configurations requiring specific hardware may take 2-3 weeks, still dramatically faster than the 8-12 week industry standard.
Simple unit-based pricing: You pay per server node (compute unit) and per TB of storage consumed. Pricing is locked for your selected term (1, 3, or 5 years) and includes all services—no egress fees, no bandwidth overages, no surprise charges. Everything is OpEx (operational expenditure), eliminating capital budget requirements.
Everything: Physical infrastructure (servers, storage, networking), Tier III colocation (power, cooling, security), bandwidth and cross-connects, hardware refresh/lifecycle management, 24/7 monitoring and support, quarterly firmware/BIOS updates, disaster recovery replication, compliance framework maintenance, and direct access to infrastructure engineers. No hidden fees or add-on charges.
For production workloads with predictable resource needs, Secure Logic typically costs 40-60% less than equivalent public cloud configurations. Public cloud egress fees alone can add 15-30% to monthly bills. Our transparent, locked pricing eliminates the "bill shock" common with public cloud platforms.
Our infrastructure and operations are designed to meet FERPA requirements. We maintain documented data handling procedures, provide data processing agreements as required, implement appropriate access controls and encryption, support audit logging and retention requirements, and provide annual SOC 2 Type II attestation reports demonstrating control effectiveness.
Yes. Our facilities and operations align with CJIS Security Policy 5.9.5 requirements including physical security controls (biometric access, 24/7 monitoring), network security (encrypted transmission, segmentation), personnel security (background checks, training), and audit capabilities (comprehensive logging, quarterly reviews).
Quarterly backup validation (automated restore testing), quarterly failover drills (technical team exercises), and annual full DR test with client stakeholder participation and formal sign-off. All test results are documented in ServiceNow with immutable audit trails retained for 3+ years.
