High Speed LAN

Using state of the art equipment from Cisco we can offer up to Gigabit network speeds. Let us show you how you can speed up your LAN with correctly specified Hubs or Switches depending on your needs. We can also provide managed switches to help you shape your traffic flows.

If you have multiple offices to connect together or maybe you would like to work from home we can provide this connectivity. There are various connection technologies available today that make this cost effective. VPN's and Terminal Services can really make a remote office work well.

Here are some of the common methods used today:

• DSL
• Cable
• ISDN
• Dial Up
• Fractional T1
• T1
• Frame Relay
• Satellite
• Wireless

Each service has it plus and minuses. Our engineers can help you choose the right service for your business needs.

We can connect multiple offices together over the Internet to reduce your WAN connection costs. Instead of paying the high costs of a T1, ISDN or other point to point service a VPN can be set up to use the Internet as a secure connection device. We can even set up the VPN to allow key employees to access the corporate network form anywhere in the world through the Internet securely.

As hackers get more sophisticated it is more necessary for companies to protect themselves for data loss or theft. By limiting the access people have from the Internet into your private network, you can prevent them from even trying to hack your company.

Firewalls prevent unwanted entry into your corporate network. It is an absolute must in today's networks. Firewalls can be bundled with VPN access to maximize your investment.

If you are looking to get a handle on computer upgrade and administrative costs consider Thin Client Solutions.

Thin Clients (term used for a computer that has no hard drive) are the wave of the future in computing. Using a computing model like the old mainframe where all of the processing is done on a single computer, the screen, mouse and keyboard controls are passed to the user.

The key benefits are the fact that the client workstation no longer has to be upgraded because it is not doing any work. From the administrative point of view, you can install programs on a single Terminal Server computer and all users will have use of the program. No need to visit each workstation to install and maintain the workstation.

Terminal services is also a great tool for using a computer remotely. See Application Hosting

Dial up remote access is the staple for working away from the office. The system can be set up to allow employees to call in and check email, retrieve files etc.

VPN is another way of gaining access to the office when traveling. It provides capability for multiple users to gain access at the same time securely.

Remote access takes on a whole new dimension with Terminal services. Since this technology requires very little bandwidth, you can work effectively from anywhere you have a phone line. This technology also works extremely well with a VPN connection. Now you can have workers located anywhere.

Network Faxing is an effective method to send faxes as easy as sending an email. Our network faxing solutions allow you to create documents right at your desktop and fax them. You can even receive faxes right to your desktop, printer, or group of people. Great way to create a paperless work environment.

Networking without wires has added many benefits to connecting computers.

• Can connect buildings together without expensive T1 lines or running underground cable
• Allows workers to roam a workplace to collaborate on a project
• Completely secure data transmission
