Connectivity and Design

Networking is already an essential part of every business. In fact, it's so essential that any lag in performance is simply intolerable. Our job is to make sure your network is up 24/7, under any circumstances.

What we can do for you varies depending on the task at hand. That, however, does not mean we're not up to that task whatever it is. Our technical team loves challenges, and they love getting work done properly.

Of course, not all networks are equal, implementation and configuration depends on how much load is expected, how many computers are connected, the feasibility of wired connections, etc. The problem is, network requirements are extremely diverse and it's often difficult to face choices, especially when projects grow bigger and require paying more attention.

It's not exactly accurate to say we can build a future-proof network, since in the field of technology nothing is really future-proof. However, we can ensure that no matter what the future requirements might be, it's always possible to build upon existing configurations.

Solutions

Most networks require similar configurations, such as a centralized router that manages incoming and outgoing connections, a switch to connect all network points togther, and a firewall to protect the internal network from attacks.

However, it's only when projects grow in requirements that things get interesting. When designing larger networks we lean towards extensible designs and configurations for obvious reasons: We have IP phones and cameras to connect.

In almost all cases, it's preferable to have a central point-of-reach. Imagine accessing an interface that allows to see which computers are turned on, who's connecting where, why the network utilization is not high enough, who's that guest waiting at the door, which phones are up and which lines are busy; all from one single location.

Nifty? Wait till you read more.

LAN / WAN

Since most networks use the standard TCP/IP¹ protocol, the possibilities of connectivity scenarios are endless.

With our solutions, it's possible to bring nation-wide offices together, connect them as if they exist on the same network, and provide them with fully transparent shared resources.

So you forgot that important presentation back home this morning, and you need it now? No problem, your office can be easily connected to as many networks as you like (yes, including your home network), you'll need to double-click on "Home" and drop the file to your computer.

With our solutions, you'll be able to send an email from your PDA² while you're on an urgent flight, and still see it in the "Sent" folder when you login from work. Forgot your PDA? No problem, login from the nearest internet cafe to the web interface.

You'll be able to have a shared schedule with different permissions, so your executive secretary will see appointments assigned for her, while you still keep prying eyes away from your private meetings.

Like we said, the possibilities are endless, all you have to do is specify your requirements and we'll do our best to not only meet them, but also exceed your expectations.

IP Telephony and Video Conferencing

Speaking of possibilities.

VoIP (Voice over IP) is one of the emerging technologies that allow to treat your phones the same way you treat your computers, in a sense that you can assign each telephone a number and connect to it over any network, whether it's your internal office network, or the Internet.

Skype is perhaps one of the most famous applications using this technology, by using Skype you can connect to any IP phone without having to pay the costs of regular telephony services. This saves tremendous costs for overseas business having to deal with clients in other countries.

Using this technology, coupled with our video solutions, we can get you the conference experience your comfortable with, where you can freely watch and talk to as many people as you want, in as many countries as you want.

Network Storage and Backup

They say never to put all your eggs in the same basket. This becomes especially true when it comes to corporate data. It's too risky to keep all your data on a single server at a single location. Existing backup solutions do cover hardware failures, but how would they protect you against natural disasters?

Now if we connect your offices together, such tasks can become fully automated, without wasting any bandwidth while synchronizing your data across all your offices.

We use RedHat Linux³ as the server operating system to make sure your storage servers are secured. With RedHat's support, you can be sure you data will be available any time, and that it will be automatically restored if any failures occur.

If your storage needs are higher, you can always use NAS⁴, a dedicated devices that acts as a file server. These devices come with higher capacities than most servers and their performance is fast enough to serve larger networks.

Security Concerns

Unfortunately, there's no guarantee of a 100% security. However, we strive hard to make sure that damage does not occur, and that flaws and vulnerabilities are detected early and closed as soon as possible.

Our products support high encryption for all connections, which makes sure that even if attacks occur, the data is completely useless to the attacker.

But that's not enough, at least not by our standards. When implementing large networks, we make sure we support network security by not only encryption, but also IDS and IPS⁵ solutions that alert administrators if (or when) attacks happen.

We can add traffic control and filtering to make sure that spyware and adware cannot do any harm to your network.

Last but not least: A chain is as strong as its weakest link. In networking, the weakest link are users. Most security hazards are caused by choosing short and weak passwords, forgetting to logout when leaving the computer, and generally, small mistakes.

Using software applications, we can enforce policies on users and user levels. These policies define who's allowed to do what, when do passwords expire, where personal data is stored, which files to synchronize while backing up, etc.

Let's put it this way: We do our best to keep your security level at a maximum.
