How a Dead Server and a Handshake Deal Launched a Business

Confidence isn’t born in a vacuum; it’s forged in the field. For Jeff Hughes, that forge was the office of an HVAC company with a catastrophic server failure. “Their server had multiple failed hard drives, and it was just completely dead,” he remembers. “I got all the data back, completely rebuilt the server. And they were like, holy crap, that was amazing.”

This wasn’t just another repair job. This was a moment of truth. The clients, Billy and Missy, knew they were hiring a young kid who was just figuring things out. They took a chance, and Jeff delivered, saving their business. Their response—asking him to take care of everything moving forward—was the first real validation of the managed services model he envisioned.

“That was my first managed services customer. And they took a chance on me,” Jeff says. “It gave me the confidence to keep shooting for it.” That story is a constant reminder at Hermetic Networks of the trust clients place in us.
