NetSys vs. Frontline Data Solutions
Frontline Data Solutions publishes a single street address, and that address is their own colocation data center. They rank for Putnam County IT services, so this page sets their published positions beside ours and marks the dimensions we searched for and could not find.
The short answer
Ask first whether you are buying infrastructure or a security practice. Frontline Data Solutions runs its own colocation facility in Orangeburg and publishes uptime and device-count figures, which makes them a real option when you have hardware to house alongside managed IT. NetSys is the stronger pick when the work is security-led: privileged access management, nine compliance frameworks, disaster recovery planning and a month to month agreement with no exit penalty.
What Frontline Data Solutions is
Frontline Data Solutions publishes one street address, 100 Dutch Hill Road in Orangeburg, New York, which is also the site of the colocation facility they operate. The site carries eight county service pages across New York and New Jersey, covering Putnam, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Dutchess, Bergen, Passaic and Morris, plus nineteen colocation market pages. Their about page carries a CEO statement describing the company as more than three decades old and names six people on the leadership team with their titles, so you know who owns what before you call.

They own the building your servers sit in
Their published address doubles as their colocation facility, and their colocation page displays SSAE 18 Type II SOC II and 100% uptime SLA labels for it. So the racks, the network into them and the managed IT all sit with one company rather than across two contracts. If part of your problem is where the hardware lives, that is worth a lot. NetSys does not run a data center. Our disaster recovery work is a written plan with restores performed and timed, plus more than 30 ransomware incidents handled in three years, every one fully recovered.
Two uptime figures, one question
Their home page publishes 24/7 support availability, a 99.999% uptime guarantee, 85% faster issue resolution and more than a hundred thousand devices managed, and their managed IT page states that SLAs come with service standards, performance metrics and faster response times. That same page shows the 99.999% figure and, in a separate block, 99.9%. Those two numbers describe very different amounts of annual downtime, so the useful step is to ask which one lands in the signed SLA and what the remedy is when it is missed. We put response commitments in the agreement rather than on the website, and the same question applies to us.
Where the AI work sits
We searched their site for a published AI or automation practice and did not find one, which tells you about our search rather than about their roadmap, so raise it with them early. At NetSys the practice is a named part of the business: Jamie Baum leads readiness assessments, Copilot rollouts, custom agent builds and workflow automation, and it is covered by the same monthly agreement as the help desk and the security work. If AI is not on your list this year, this difference costs you nothing. If it is, find out who does the building.
What each of us publishes

Compliance work published

Rates on the website
- Their About page publishes a statement about transparent pricing, on-time and on-budget delivery, and no hidden costs. (frontlineds.com)
NetSys: We do not publish rates. We quote per business rather than per seat, after a call, because a thirty person firm with two servers and a thirty person firm with a regulator are not the same job.
What we looked for on their site and could not find
contract length or cancellation terms; privileged access, privileged identity management or managed credentials; an AI or automation practice.
That means we did not find it published, not that it does not exist. Ask them directly, and ask us the same questions. If Frontline Data Solutions publishes any of this and we missed it, write to info@netsysgroup.com and we will add it.
The honest fit: is NetSys the right Frontline Data Solutions alternative?
When Frontline Data Solutions is the better choice
Frontline Data Solutions makes obvious sense for an organization in their eight-county area with hardware to house: colocation in Orangeburg carrying an SSAE 18 Type II SOC II label on the facility, managed IT bought from the same company, a leadership team named on the site with titles, and county pages for Putnam, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Dutchess, Bergen, Passaic and Morris. Non-profits, law firms, accounting practices and manufacturers are the buyers those pages are written for.
When NetSys is the better choice
The case for us starts where the racks stop. Nine frameworks have a service page each, privileged access and privileged identity management are in the base agreement, monitoring runs 24/7, and the whole thing is month to month with no penalty for walking. Start with a free Tier 1 external penetration test, keep the findings whatever you decide, and note that Putnam County sits inside our published on-site map.
NetSys and Frontline Data Solutions: FAQs
Is Frontline Data Solutions the same as a data center company?
It is both, which is the interesting part. The address they publish in Orangeburg is their own colocation facility, and the site carries nineteen colocation market pages alongside eight county pages for managed IT across New York and New Jersey. Their managed IT page presents seven capability headings covering expertise, scalability, service level agreements, infrastructure, business continuity, reliability and partnerships, described in general terms. If you want the coverage itemized line by line, ask them to break it out before you compare providers.
Is there a Frontline Data Solutions alternative for Putnam County?
NetSys covers Putnam County and the rest of the Hudson Valley on site from Brooklyn. The difference a Putnam buyer would feel is the stack: cybersecurity, managed IT with help desk, privileged access management, privileged identity management, disaster recovery planning and AI work in one month to month agreement, backed by 24/7 monitoring and an account manager with a real cell number. Colocation is not something we sell.
Can we move providers without downtime?
Yes, when the cutover is planned instead of announced. The order that works: credential and documentation handover, a verified backup taken and tested before anything moves, then a period where both sets of monitoring run in parallel until the old tooling is retired. Colocated hardware adds a step, because access to the facility and the contract for the rack sit separately from the managed IT agreement, so get both in writing. Our own agreement is month to month, which keeps the same door open in the other direction.
What compliance work does each firm publish?
Their cybersecurity page names NIST, ISO and CIS Control v8 as the standards used to assess security posture and references regulatory compliance support, and their colocation page displays an SSAE 18 Type II SOC II label for the facility. Ours is organized as nine frameworks with a service page each: HIPAA, CMMC 2.0, SOC 2, NIST CSF 2.0, NYDFS 23 NYCRR 500, NY SHIELD, FTC Safeguards, PCI DSS and GLBA, with twenty six industry pages behind them. If a regulator is in your future, ask which framework each firm has taken a client through.
