Case Study: OC Tech Dr. achieves reliable, scalable COVID testing centers with Datto DNA networking

OC Tech Dr. Keeps COVID Testing Centers Online With Datto Networking

OC Tech Dr., a small MSP led by Mike Gelerter, was tapped to support CovidClinic during the 2020 testing surge and faced an extreme rollout challenge: provisioning reliable, secure networks for temporary, metal-walled testing pods with no wired Internet or stable power (one site even suffered a generator fire) while demand grew rapidly across states.

OC Tech Dr. deployed cloud-managed Datto DNA routers—paired with cellular modems and Verizon failover—plus remote administration and close Datto support to scale from local sites to 68+ locations across multiple states. The solution provided secure, dependable connectivity for registration and test-result workflows (some sites processed 600+ tests/day), minimized delays and downtime, and Datto SIRIS backups enabled fast recovery of other critical servers.
