• Email ( 0 Items )

  We offer POP3, IMAP and HTML/WEB email hosting options based on Zimbra for as little as $3/month per mailbox. This includes unparalleled spam and virus filtering. You'll be surprised at how little, if any, makes it through. Like our web hosting, our email servers are fully redundant in case we have a hardware failure at our datacenter, enabling you to have virtually uninterrupted access to email.

• Networking ( 0 Items )

  We can either build you a new network or manage your existing Cisco, Enterasys, Foundry/Brocade or Hewlett-Packard network. Our engineers have extensive experience with all these vendors' products and certified in Cisco and Enterasys.

  When building a new network for you, we will make the highest performance and most cost-effective recomendations for you. In most situations, we will recommend Enterasys switches and wireless access points. For small business, we may recommend Cisco firewalls for security and VPN. For medium sized businesses, a F5 SSL VPN device will probably suite you better. For a large business, a combination of Checkpoint firewalls and a F5 SSL VPN solution is probably best for you.

  We do want to tell you about a partner of ours that excites us to no end. This partner is Enterasys, which is a Seimens Enterprise Networking company. You may not have heard of Enterasys, but we are sure you've heard of Seimens. Now is a perfect time for an introduction. Click here and we'll send you to our Enterasys pages so you can learn about these fantastic products. You cannot beat them on price and performance. Faster and far more secure than the big boy networking company's products and half the price.

• Security ( 0 Items )

  For small businesses, we may recommend a Cisco firewall for both security and VPN. For medium sized businesses, a Cisco ASA and a F5 SSL VPN device will probably suite you better. For a large business, a combination of Checkpoint firewalls and a F5 SSL VPN solution is probably best for you.

  Cisco makes a great firewall and VPN device, the ASA 5500 series appliace. It even supports SSL VPN out of the box. For extra redundancy, you can tie two ASA appliances together. Click here and we'll send you to our Cisco ASA pages.

  F5's SSL VPN appliance is more than fantastic. It is a clientless SSL VPN solution that only requires a quick little plugin in your browser that allows you to have access to your network. When configured to do so, your browser can even map network drives for you. The features are unmatched! We get excited when we have the opportunity to install one of these appliances for our customers. Click here to learn a little about our F5 offerings.

  Checkpoint firewalls are the meanest firewalls we've installed to date. Their application level firewalling and filtering keeps hackers and bots at bay at the perimiter by preventing malicious commands from even getting to your servers.

• Virtualization ( 0 Items )

  Virtualization saves money. Does that sound appealing? We thought it would so here's a couple things to think about. First, power savings can be phenominal. Second, you'll buy less hardware. Yes, you'll buy more expensive hardware but the number of boxes you'll have to buy is generally 90% less. Take this example: the average server runs at 10% utilization or less. Based on this fact, we can combine 10 servers into one physical VMware server. Imagine the savings to your electric (consumption and cooling) bill in your own office server room. Imagine the savings when you could go from two racks to a half rack in a datacenter. In addition, all this equates to less of an environmental impact including power usage (coal, gas or nuclear) and raw materials to make servers.

• Website Design ( 0 Items )

  Unless you're a Fortune 100 company, you probably don't need to spend a fortune on an army of developers to build a full featured website. This is where Lucid Networks and the Joomla! CMS come in. We can build an interactive site in a fraction of the time and reduced cost by up to 90%! Depending on your needs, this can include a shopping cart, website subscription service and email marketing system. Always included is a graphical back-end for you to manage your own website. You won't need to pay us to update and change your website content. We can even host it for you, creating a complete package making life easier for you. Building your business on the web shouldn't create more problems for you. You should be focusing on your business, not your website. Let us help!
