TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS
In order to stay competitive in the 21st century companies have to leverage every tool they can get their hands on. Don't gamble with your outdated infrastructure, it could cost you more money in the long run with unexpected downtime and inefficient systems. Servers need to be constantly maintained and upgraded, as robust as hardware and software have become, older systems become unstable, unreliable, and insecure, eventually leading to downtime and a severe reduction in efficiency.
CLOUD SERVICES
With Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, and other cloud services becoming more and more popular, should you consider moving to the cloud? Which service is right for you?
COMMON PROJECTS
CLOUD MIGRATIONS
NETWORK OPTIMIZATION
AUTOMATION
From small companies getting rid of their SBS server to large companies migrating dozens of servers, I've helped clients become more efficient and scalable by moving them to the cloud. Whether it's Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, or any other cloud solution, I'll help you review your options, plan the project, and help you execute the migration. In order to make the process as smooth as possible, you need to know what challenges lie ahead and run sufficient testing prior to starting the migration, contact me and I'll help you review your options.
As companies grow, their networks need to expand with them and in many cases old hardware continues to be used with new systems. The dangers here are that this old hardware usually creates a bottleneck that ends up creating issues further down the line. When an expansion is in order, it is imperative to your business that you consider whether or not your current hardware will support the new devices. I can't stress enough the importance of getting a network audit completed prior to any upgrades or expansions being completed or else you risk running into network slowdowns or even unexpected downtime due to old wiring, outdated/failing switches, or even ill-performing and overextended routers.
Wireless access points, routers, switches, phones, and computers are all part of regular networks. Each device communicates with the outside world at an alarming rate and without preparedness your users could run into trouble. Networks need to be optimized, segmented, and QoS needs to be applied to allow certain devices to have a constant bandwidth so as to not cause issues such as choppy or inaudible calls with VoIP phones.
The 21st century has brought with it an incredible ability to automate tasks, that is, the ability to perform rigorous, tedious, and repetitive at the push of a button or on a schedule. Monitoring, patching, application deployments, and even server farm scaling can all be automated in this day and age. Remember that time is money and less time spent having to conduct these processes manually, means more time spent taking care of other problems.
A perfect example of this is a project I completed for 13 remote charter schools I was working with several years ago.
In order to make it easier for my team and I to manage, I built an automated imaging server that during the computer's boot-up process checked if it had to be imaged. When a machine began acting up, I would issue the server a command and the machine would automatically reboot and image itself, it would then add itself back into the domain, install and activate any programs it needed, and even notified me when the process completed. This entire process was so efficient that it only took 15 minutes before the computer was fully operational again. Entire computer labs could be done overnight.
