Overview

LANs, WANs, and Routers. Our LAN, WAN, and Cisco engineers are the perfect compliment to our server-based computing model. We have experience with integrating remote offices, branch offices, and satellite locations into your main office. We can provide circuits and configure them in a way that provides remote users with home-office grade connectivity.

Virus Protection. The need to secure corporate computing environments is typically underestimated. Many companies implement security services, but never update them. Infonect offers real-time virus protection systems that automatically and actively scan every device attached to your corporate network. Even if a user inserts a floppy disk, we can establish an environment that forces a virus scan. Email is a notorious transporter of viruses; our systems scrutinize email and email attachments to ensure a virus-free network.

Those who propagate viruses, typically transmit the latest ones. This means that if your virus software patterns or control lists are a few days old, your protection is practically useless. Through the Internet, our virus inoculation system is updated automatically every night.

Firewalls & Filtering- Firewalls provide basic intrusion deterrence; every company, small or large, needs a firewall. Hackers are a peculiar breed, in that they often choose their victims based on who is vulnerable. Simply put, if there is a way in, they pleasure in exploiting the security nuance.

Firewalls, coupled with intrusion detection, can actually help in pinpointing the identity or location of the assailant.

Filtering is an augmentation of the firewall that permits companies to block certain Web sites or categories of Web sites. This feature conserves network resources and helps to ensure employee productivity.

Firewalls are also an important part of WAN connectivity and remote access. Virtual Private Network (VPN) interfaces can be added to a firewall to guarantee a secure connection to your corporate servers.

Firewalls can be configured to prevent mail relaying and can cache your incoming email in the event that your internal email server is not running.

Infonect can provide devices and engineers to work with your company's senior management to track all computer usage. We can provide audit trails and documentation as necessary. This operation is designed to improve workplace efficiency. A recent statistic states that the overwhelming majority of Internet and email usage at work is for non-work related activities. A situation occurs whereby companies increase technology resources to accommodate non-business-related activities. We will work covertly or apparently and always within the parameters of the law. See Bandwidth Management for more information.

Bandwidth Management. Also known as Network Resource Management, this area of practice allows us to recommend and implement a solution to network traffic, congestion, and latency for substantially less than the cost of adding more bandwidth. The typical answer to slow network performance or network congestion is to add more bandwidth or more circuits. This adds cost and does not get at the root of the problem. We can analyze network traffic, consolidate protocol stacks, and ultimately add more headroom without adding additional network resources.

The days of simple hubs and switches are gone. Most of the newer network switches can actually route traffic and perform load balancing. Infonect has the skill required to manage and optimize these devices and maximize throughput.

Ecommerce & Web Development. Let us use our expertise in leveraging technology to drive your business forward. Fusing customer interaction to the supply chain will be the next evolution of the Internet. We can get you ready for the next step today by placing you on the forefront of CRM, ERP, B2B, and B2C technologies. Helping your company to build a more customer-centric Internet will increase customer loyalty and increase profitability.

Application Development. Today, with the explosion in the off-the-shelf software market, applications exist that can support nearly all business requirements. The new breed of applications is extraordinarily powerful and also extremely customizable. Customizing these programs requires the development knowledge that Infonect developers possess.

When customizing a program, we work with your staff to ensure delivery of a solution that supports your business mission. Our developers also have the necessary wherewithal to be cognizant of the effects that application customization can have on other programs that must interact with the customized application. Customizing an application can affect servers and operating systems. We pride ourselves on the fact that our developers approach application customization methodically and know-how to prevent secondary ramifications.

Should the need arise for a fully-customized solution; our application developers can build a model that addresses your needs.
