Our customers depend on us to provide and support reliable, scalable and high-performing network environments that work today, and can adapt to technology advancements tomorrow.
Network Design & Installation
Networks thrive or falter depending on the quality of their planning and implementation. A carefully thought-out design will pre-empt a multitude of problems once the network is functional. Our team designs LAN/WANs (local and wide area networks) for relocations and new construction; we also plan network expansions, additions of remote locations (creating VPN's: Virtual Private Networks) and migrations to new platforms.
Network Upgrades
Internal and external changes can affect your network's performance. Periodic upgrades are necessary to maintain/increase productivity and reduce/eliminate system inefficiencies. S.B. Stone & Company can analyze your existing network and uncover problems or weaknesses involving security, license compliance, storage, and server utilization. We will then develop an action plan for problem-solving and system enchancement.
Maintenance/System Administration
Networks are complex systems that need to be monitored on an ongoing basis in order to minimize and quickly resolve inevitable problems. System Administrators are responsible for monitoring system logs (and solving problems gleaned via the logs), installing patches and software upgrades, and resolving issues related to sluggish performance, software conflicts, security, email, spam, DNS, WINS, routing, wireless services and more. System Administrators also monitor licensing agreements to ensure that companies are in compliance and thereby avoid substantial penalties.
If you don't have or can't justify internal staff to perform System Administration, S.B. Stone & Company can perform these functions for you. We can create a Maintenance Package for you with activities completed on a scheduled basis, on-site or remotely. We can also provide full or part-time staff that will be dedicated to your account daily, weekly, or as required. See our Managed Services page for more details.
Security
Your data needs to be accessible to those who need it, but secured against those who don't. Any evaluation of your systems will include a review of your security measures, and recommendations to resolve problems with your firewalls, proxies, and routers. We routinely install and maintain anti-virus software on servers and anti-spam software on email servers.
Backup Procedures
Every organization needs a backup strategy which should include fireproof lockboxes and off-site data copy storage. It is easy to take this for granted, but vital that you don't. We will help you determine the best way to handle this critical necessity.
Custom Servers
S.B. Stone & Company designs, builds, and deploys custom configured servers and computers; from single workstations, to multiple servers with many workstations and terminal servers with dumb monitors. We are partners with several hardware vendors and can provide the equipment that will best meet your needs.
Setting up a server includes:
- Loading the Operating System
- Loading software
- Migrating company data to the new server as needed (this may occur before or after delivery)
- Testing for conflicts or other problems and resolving them
- Testing the mechanics to ensure there won't be mechanical problems
- Delivering the server for installation
We can install the server for you, or turn the installation over to in-house personnel -- it's a case-by-case decision. We also provide racks and networking hardware as needed.
S.B. Stone & Company has the experience and knowledge needed to ensure that your systems run as speedily and smoothly as possible. For more information call us at 216-524-9055 or send us an email.
