Server Maintenance
Server
Maintenance
Your server is the very core of your business. Therefore, it needs to be hard to kill. We can maintain the physical and logical health of your server, preventing problems before they occur and implementing redundancies to minimize downtime. We offer regularly scheduled maintenance plans as well as migration and replacement where necessary. Whether your server is on its last leg or it’s fresh out of the box, we can make sure you’ll have a server you can depend upon.

Management
Proper management of a server system means a more efficient workflow. We can enact policies through the server that will automate such things as turning off workstations at the end of a shift. Instead of you having to work around your server, we can make your server work for you.

Monitoring
Other service providers will charge you to install a program that sends you automated emails and doesn’t require them to do any real work. Our team puts human eyes on your system, ensuring that the security and functionality of your system is maintained by techs who care about you and your business. We’ll install updates, scan for viruses, facilitate software updates, and perform scans on your hardware to detect impending failure before it happens.

Security
The greatest buzzword in the technology industry today is “security.” Today’s threats are so broad that they can originate both from overseas and from within the walls of your own business. We can help harden your network security so that intrusion and exploitation are as difficult as possible, while still not inhibiting the productivity of your business. We will employ firewalls, content filters, network policies, and other methods to provide the best protection possible.

Filter
Your personnel don’t have to live with unsolicited junk mail. We can implement customized Spam filters like Barracuda or ASSP to actively filter out the unwanted stuff and allow you to focus on genuine communications. We can also maintain anti-Spam solutions you have already implemented.

Management
You wouldn’t believe the number of strange and crippling network issues that are caused by poor or damaged cabling. Sloppy cabling and a lack of clear labeling can not only make troubleshooting a nightmare for technicians, but always result in significant unnecessary expense for the business. We will test your cabling, ensure consistency and dependability of signal, and carefully label our work so that future problems are quickly resolved.

Data
Electronics
This refers to all equipment used to connect computers and facilitate the transmission of data, such as routers and switches. These things also need maintenance and management in order to effectively handle data traffic within your network and allow for scalable growth. We can employ traffic shaping and prioritization, virtual LANs, port aggregation, redundant connections, and other technologies to make sure your network doesn’t slow down or drop out when you need it most.

Electronics can and will fail. Usually a well-built server can survive the failure of a single power supply or hard drive; sometimes even the best server can suddenly die. The question is: will you be ready? We can help you prepare for this scenario by building and setting up a clone server. In case of catastrophic server failure, this clone can be quickly brought in to temporarily replace the failed server, reducing downtime from days to hours.
Failover
Internet
Failover
Internet
Your business might be one of those that relies on an internet connection every minute of the day. Even your internet service can fail at times, leaving you unable to function. We can setup a completely independent second internet connection, usually cellular, that will instantly take over should your usual service fail.

When managing a large pool of workstations, imaging plays a big role in efficient deployment and replacement of systems. An image is a condensed snapshot of a system’s entire software state, including operating system, user accounts, personal files and settings, and all installed programs. Instead of spending many hours preparing a system from the ground up, you can apply an image and have your system ready for deployment within a short time span. We can implement an imaging system or help you make better use of the system you have. In addition to imaging, we can employ Group Policy to apply configurations across an entire network or to specific groupings, allowing you to automate the management of permissions and minute settings.

Licensing
Software
Licensing
Almost everything running on a computer, from antivirus software to security camera systems to office productivity tools, must be purchased and licensed. Unmanaged licenses lead to needless purchases and loss of functionality. Let us keep track of your licenses, inventorying their use, renewing them when their expiration approaches, and maintaining records of purchase.
