Our Story

Portolan Networks was born in 2020, when our founder, Pat Midzio, was let go during the pandemic — and decided to bet on himself instead of job hunting. Based in Sarasota, we believe IT shouldn't be confusing or reactive. We build proactive, security-first partnerships with businesses across Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte counties, tailoring managed and co-managed IT to how each team works — not a one-size-fits-all package.

Meet the Team

Pat Midzio

Pat MidzioFounder

Pat Midzio is the founder of Portolan Networks. In IT since 1998, he built his career at two MSPs before starting his own in 2020. Based in Sarasota since 1986, Pat leads with a security-first, client-tailored approach to managed IT.

What Sets Us Apart

Security baseline included.

Every client starts with endpoint protection, DNS filtering, and access management included — the essentials aren't optional, though we do offer additional protections tailored to your specific environment.

Local ownership, backed by real infrastructure.

Sarasota-based leadership with direct accountability, paired with the tools and support structure to keep your business running - not a rigit, one-size-fits-all package.

Built for Florida's realities.

Hurricane-resilient backup and disaster recovery, designed specifically for businesses that can't afford extended downtime during storm season.

Commonly Asked Questions

Our security baseline — endpoint protection, DNS filtering, and access management — comes included as part of our core Managed IT offering, not billed as a separate line item. Additional protections are available depending on your environment and needs.

Our SLA guarantees a response within 2 hours for critical outages affecting our Managed and Co-Managed clients, and we're often able to respond and begin work immediately. If you're a prospective client reaching out for the first time, we do our best to respond promptly, though it may occasionally take until the next business day.

Managed IT is priced per user, with a 10-user minimum per plan. We'll walk you through exactly how that applies to your team during a consultation.

Yes — our Co-Managed IT Services are built specifically to complement an existing internal team, not replace them.

We work with businesses from small teams of 4–5 employees up to 100+ staff, though businesses in the 10–30 employee range tend to be an especially good fit.
