We service all Windows, GNU/Linux and OSX operating systems running on server hardware. We are proficient in Windows Server 2003/2008, Microsoft SQL Server 2005/2008, Exchange Server 2003/2007/2010, Debian distributions, Red Hat distributions and more. We can administrate, upgrade or add additional servers at your business location at any time of day.
Alternatively, many administrative tasks can be completed remotely via protocols like SSH, VNC or RDP. We can work within any remote interface, and even provide our own custom Reverse VNC suite for extra security requirements. Anything that can be done on-site, sans touching the physical server for repair work, can be performed remotely. We also specialize in setting up remote access VPN and L2L VPN tunnels between corporate and satellite offices so that employees can access their corporate mail and file servers from anywhere in the world.
We can provide continual service of all physical cabling, logical structuring, networking appliances, load balancing, quality of service, connectivity and network security aspects of your network to ensure proper server access.
Security is on the top of our list within IT administration. We firmly believe in layered security and preventive measures to reduce the risk of a successful attack, penetration or leak of sensitive data or bandwidth. We focus both on software and hardware based security appliances, hardening of the operating systems, and social engineering prevention.
The Active Directory forest can be a scary place, and it's easy to get hurt if careful planning is not taken from the start. It's important to build future anticipations into an IT policy so company expansion can scale without growing pains. We have the experience, backed by Microsoft Certified Professionals, to correctly set up your domains, trust-relationships, a correct schema and group policy. We believe that your business rules come first, and that your IT policy is built around that.
Exchange is a well thought-out email server system that integrates tightly within Active Directory. While the features of Exchange, including email, calendar, task and messaging capabilities are assets to a business, Exchange maintenance and troubleshooting typically are not. We can setup, maintain and troubleshoot Exchange environments for your business.
This server package is a great ROI for any small business with under 75 employees. With a substantial discount on software prices, client access licenses and hardware investment, a small business can reap the benefits of a full-blown enterprise environment within one physical hardware server. Small Business Server combines Windows Server, Exchange Server, MySQL server all into one package. Deeper versions also include functionality such as the excellent ISA Server for enterprise-class security and intrusion protection.
For some businesses, even Small Business Server may be too much of an investment; other businesses will not want to be locked into a proprietary software package. For these groups, GNU/Linux server setups with LDAP access is just the solution. The Linux-environment has a different way of handling tasks, and it is important not to think "how would I do this in Windows?". Many would say Linux actually has an advantage in some categories over Microsoft, and indeed it does. While it does take a worth-while administrator to take care of a Linux LDAP environment, you may find it is the correct fit for your business.
