Design and Implementation Services
Overview:
Our engineering service offering includes a full array of data communications services from the design of simple web interfaces to fully implemented dedicated service. We offer Engineering of LAN & WAN Solutions, VPN Solutions, Dedicated Lines (Point to Point circuits, etc), Bandwidth Provisioning, High Availability/Load Balancing, Firewalls, Clustering, Storage Area Networks, Disaster Recovery Planning, Distributed Processing, Design and Implementation Services, Network Management, Firewall Management, and Bandwidth Provisioning.
Network Design and Implementation
Our technical staff has the ability to design and implement data communications for most all enterprise needs. This service provides options including simple web connections to more comprehensive Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), Virtual Private Network (VPN) solutions, dedicated line solutions, and bandwidth provisioning. We survey each client’s specific needs before exploring various hardware components and carrier constraints to present a highly reliable network. Our staff will purchase and install components, install monitoring capability and test the network to insure it meets the customer’s performance standard.
Network Management Services
We assume continuous responsibility for the total network and its performance, inclusive of all communications hardware, software and data lines. In providing this service we monitor, administer and maintain each device specified by the client including such components as routers, switches and hubs. This service includes continuous monitoring (24 x 7 x 365) of the each required enterprise network component.
Managed Dedicated Firewall Services
Our firewall management service provides the customer with one source for design, installation and ongoing management. Our technical staff designs the firewall system to meet the customer’s unique environment. We offer to monitor and maintain the ongoing use of the system with upgrades and maintenance for the software, hardware and network components. We offer a variety of firewall solutions, including low-cost Linux based firewalls, in addition to commercial solutions like Checkpoint or Cisco ASA. We can also provide ‘fully managed’ dedicated firewall solutions, and appliance firewalls. We also offer integrated high-availability, VPN, and load-balanced solutions.
Bandwidth Provisioning
Our bandwidth provisioning service allows our clients to receive highly reliable data transmittal capacity at a very competitive price. With this service we examine the requirements of the client and provide a data transmission service through one of our existing high capacity fiber lines. This service provides “burstable” capacities to insure the customer of top quality service, even if data traffic exceeds expectations.
Performance Tuning and Capacity Planning
Our engineering staff examines historical system data including CPU usage, memory usage and data storage trends to evaluate present and future system performance. We offer suggestions for parameter settings to achieve optimal performance with the present system resources. Additionally, based on our trend analysis, we recommend when and what specific system resource upgrades will be required to meet predicted future processing requirements.
Disaster Recovery
As more and more enterprises are discovering, merely having a disaster recovery plan isn’t nearly enough. What counts is being able to remain in business – and operating – even in the event of a major disruption to your facilities, environment, or systems. That’s precisely where we can help. As a premier IT outsourcing provider, we manage some of the most sophisticated IT infrastructure in the business, for some of the most demanding clients. Unlike typical ‘disaster recovery’ providers – who simply provide standby facilities – we can support your enterprise with a wide array of business continuity solutions that can help you respond quickly to virtually any type of outage, disaster, emergency, or disruption. It’s more than just backup… it’s a way of integrating disaster recovery into your overall IT infrastructure.
Dedicated Processing Solutions For ‘Instant’ Fail-over
Highly sophisticated enterprises have distributed their IT processing between their own data center and dedicated systems at an our 24×7 production data center. In the event of a major systems failure at the primary site – or the outright loss of the data facility due to fire or other catastrophe, we can take over processing tasks in a matter of minutes, with virtually no loss of data integrity. This ‘hot standby’ approach can be significantly less expensive than maintaining duplicate facilities, and can also alleviate lost time during transition to ’emergency’ conditions. Depending on configuration, you can instantly recover up to 100% of your failed processing capacity.
