Verus Corporation

Verus Corporation is a network infrastructure management company serving the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota markets. The company is also an ISP and has its own data center in Fridley, MN.

Verus was started in October 2002 by Jamison Masters, Scott Anderson and Kevin Willette, all veterans of Eschelon Telecom, which grew into one of the leading telecommunications providers in the country.

When the trio formed Verus, they quickly built a team of expert sales consultants, project managers, sales engineers, network engineers and programmers. Verus also became part of the WatchGuard Expert Secure Partner Program, Microsoft Certified Partner Program, and a Cisco Select Certified SMB.

In November 2007, the company opened its own data center. Today Verus provides outsourced network infrastructure management, data network integration and VoIP infrastructure, backup and disaster recovery, and remote network management using VerusGuard, the company's own network monitoring and management tool.

Key services offered include:

Hosted Microsoft Exchange

Verus can host your email on a shared Microsoft Exchange Server for an affordable monthly fee. The server is housed and maintained in our Minneapolis Data Center and keeps your data totally secure. We offer a variety of connectivity options through third-party ISPs or with Verus as your ISP.

Verus can also help you manage your own on-site Exchange Servers and help you migrate to Microsoft Exchange 2010, either as an on-premise or hosted solution.

Remote Network Monitoring

VerusGuard, our remote network monitoring and management platform, provides a single view of your entire network infrastructure, including network traffic, application performance and device events. VerusGuard monitors your network 24x7.

Remote Desktop Management

Verus Hosted Workforce is the complete remote desktop productivity solution for businesses that want all of the advantages of business applications with no up-front expenditures for servers or software and no IT management hassles. This remote desktop manager is perfect for businesses just starting up or for business with 5 to 250 users. Everything is included within a budgetable monthly fee.

All applications and servers are hosted in our secure Verus Data Center, which offers battery and generator backup power, triple redundant high speed Internet connections and 24x7 access, including over secure VPN tunnels for any location—office, home, or on the road.

Verus Twin Cities Data Center

Unlike some IT services companies that use third-party hosting and remote backup services, Verus operates its own state-of-the-art data center. This gives us the flexibility to meet more of your needs with such capabilities as co-location, disaster recovery, VerusGuard remote network monitoring, and complete hosted workforce solutions. And the fact that Versus is its own ISP means we control connectivity and don't rely on anyone else for internet or data access.
