Built by practitioners
ShadowCradle is built by engineers who have spent 20+ years running backup, disaster recovery, and cybersecurity for real production environments - not a marketing team's idea of what backup software should look like. ShadowCradle is a product of TakeLAN, a Tampa-based enterprise technology company that has been building infrastructure for MSPs and IT teams for years.
Human + AI support model
Most questions have simple answers, and our AI agents handle those instantly, around the clock, so you are never staring at a blank support portal in the middle of the night. When something is harder - a failed job, an edge case, a real disaster - it gets routed to an engineer, and our disaster-recovery specialists follow up fast, typically within one business day.
Onboarding done with you
Sizing your appliance, planning the deployment, and running the first failover drill are not steps we hand you a PDF for and walk away. An onboarding engineer works through them with you, so the first time your recovery plan gets tested is on your terms, not during an actual outage.
MSP-practitioner advisors
The people behind ShadowCradle have run backup and recovery for real MSP clients, not just built software that promises to. That practitioner background shows up in product decisions and in the advice you get when you call - people who have been on the other end of a recovery call themselves.
What you get
A dedicated team is not a line item on a datasheet - here is what it actually means day to day.
