Technology On Your Terms.
Four Directions is an engineering-led technology company in New Mexico. We help organizations choose, buy, deploy, secure and run the technology their work needs, from one engineering workstation to an environment ready for controlled data.
Where are you starting?
Most conversations begin in one of four places. Each leads somewhere specific.
“We need equipment.”
Workstations, laptops, servers, storage and networking, specified for the work and quoted in writing, with configuration and setup if you want it.
“We handle CUI for defense contracts.”
Environments scoped to the work that touches Controlled Unclassified Information, built to support NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC, and documented for your assessor.
“We want to use AI without leaking data.”
Choose and deploy AI tools, from Copilot and ChatGPT to private models on your own hardware, with controls for sensitive and regulated data.
“Our systems need modernizing.”
Servers, virtualization, Microsoft 365, identity and Linux, planned, built and documented so they’re easier to run.
Infrastructure engineering
Linux migration
Microsoft 365 and cloud
From the first purchase to day-to-day operation
One team across the whole lifecycle, so nothing gets lost between the people who buy it, build it and run it.
- Procure Hardware, software and licensing, sourced for the requirement rather than the promotion of the month.
- Deploy Configuration, installation, migration and integration, done to a documented design.
- Secure Identity, devices, networks and data protected from the start, not after an incident.
- Comply Technology that supports your contractual and regulatory requirements, with documentation to match.
- Manage Ongoing administration, updates and support for what we build.
The right platform for the workload
Windows or Linux, cloud or on-premises: each is the right answer somewhere. We recommend what fits the work, the risk and the budget, and we’ll say so when the answer is “keep what you have.”
Microsoft 365 and Windows
Identity, email, collaboration and device management, configured securely rather than just licensed. Microsoft 365 and cloud
Linux and open source
First-class options for servers, engineering workstations and focused desktop roles. Linux and open source
Servers and infrastructure
On-premises, cloud or hybrid, sized to what you actually need, which is sometimes no server at all. Servers and infrastructure
Engineering workstations
Specified for CAD, simulation, development, data and AI workloads. Engineering workstations
Security and compliance are design inputs, not add-ons
Defense contractors, engineering firms and healthcare organizations carry security obligations in their contracts and regulations. We help you meet them with technology designed and built for the requirement:
- CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 for Controlled Unclassified Information
- Zero Trust architecture, built in practical steps
- HIPAA Security Rule safeguards for systems that handle patient information
We don’t certify compliance or provide legal advice. Your assessor and counsel make those determinations; we help you get there.
Who we work with
Small and mid-sized businesses
Practical IT planning, purchasing, security and support, without unnecessary complexity.
Engineering and R&D firms
Workstations, Linux, compute, storage and data movement for technical work.
Government contractors and the defense industrial base
Environments for Controlled Unclassified Information and preparation for CMMC.
Healthcare organizations
Secure endpoints, identity, backup and recovery for systems that handle patient information.
Onsite across New Mexico. Remote engineering for organizations anywhere in the United States.
