IT support and consulting in Burbank
Burbank’s economy centers on the Media District — studios, networks, and the post-production, visual-effects, and creative services firms that support them — alongside Hollywood Burbank Airport and the small businesses of downtown and Magnolia Park. SyncrionIT supports Burbank teams whose work depends on large files, fast connections, and deadlines that don’t move.
Working alongside the Media District
Beyond the large studios, Burbank is home to many smaller companies in the entertainment supply chain: editorial and post-production houses, sound and music studios, visual-effects and animation teams, production offices, and the accountants, attorneys, and business managers who serve them. Downtown Burbank and Magnolia Park add retail, restaurants, and service businesses with small back offices.
Creative teams feel IT problems quickly. When storage slows down or a shared drive fills up during delivery week, the cost is measured in missed deadlines, not just inconvenience.
What creative teams in Burbank run into
Production schedules make these problems more urgent than they look:
- Shared storage for large media files that has grown past what it was designed for
- Fast, reliable connections between editing workstations and storage
- Mac and Windows computers working side by side under one set of accounts
- Freelancers and short-term crew who need access for one production and nothing after it
- Aging servers still doing critical work because nobody wants to touch them mid-project
On-site work in Burbank
Post and creative facilities often keep their equipment in a machine room with its own cooling and power, and the network carrying media between rooms matters as much as the internet connection. Changes there are planned around delivery schedules, not dropped into the middle of one.
Businesses on or next to studio lots may need visitors cleared through a gate or badge process in advance. Tell us early so access is arranged before the visit is scheduled.
Helpful to share before a visit
- Delivery dates and sessions that changes must avoid
- Where storage and network equipment are, and how they’re cooled and powered
- Gate, badge, or security procedures for the building or lot
How service works
SyncrionIT works with Burbank businesses through IT Support for everyday problems, billed hourly after onboarding, or through IT Consulting for defined projects such as moves, migrations, network work, and security improvements. Support starts remotely, and on-site time is planned for the work that needs it.
Support and consulting rates are on the Pricing page. Support hours are Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–6 p.m. Pacific Time, excluding communicated holidays.

Common questions
Do you work with Mac-based teams?
Yes. SyncrionIT supports Windows and Mac computers, and many creative teams run both. They’re handled under the same accounts and support process.
Our server is old, but we’re in the middle of a production. What now?
Don’t change it mid-delivery. Start by confirming what the server does and whether its data can be recovered from anywhere else, then plan the replacement for a window between projects. A staged cutover lets people keep working while the new system is prepared.
Can you support our editing workstations and shared storage?
We support the Mac and Windows computers, accounts, and network connecting your workstations to storage, and we can assess the storage itself. Specialized media storage and the applications on it may also involve their vendor; where that’s the case, we coordinate with the vendor rather than working around them.
