Network Design, Implementation & Migration
Our professional staff offers business and technical services to keep you safe, operational, and focused on more important things. We understand the importance of balancing operational needs and security with financial resources. To us, networking is not a hobby. Over the years we have designed and installed numerous networks; and every day we make sure our customers’ file servers, directory services, e-mail, databases, remote access, security and other services function seamlessly.
Platform & Equipment: We design, install and support Microsoft® and Novell® Local Area and Wide Area Networks using high quality, corporate and enterprise grade hardware and software. Computer Partners, Inc. and our staff are backed by some of the largest companies in networking today including Microsoft, Novell and Intel®. By partnering with major manufacturers, we have access to the latest tools, updates, advisories and support; and in some cases, like our Intel partnership, access to overnight parts. We also maintain a large network inventory including switches, routers, access points, firewalls, cables, couplers, network cards, jacks and accessories.
Network Services: Although many technicians claim the ability to install networks, it is the installation and configuration of network services that separate network engineers from amateurs. Our technical staff holds numerous certifications and has quantifiable experience. Their expertise includes design and support of Active Directory, NDS, Exchange, GroupWise, SQL, VPN, Terminal Services, remote access, and a sundry of security services. If not configured correctly, these services can cause major operational and security issues that can result in lost data, downtime, unauthorized access, and operational inefficiencies.
Connectivity: Networks come in many shapes and sizes, but how network devices communicate is called connectivity. Our expertise in connectivity spans wired, wireless, broadband (DSL & cable), and frame. From terminating and testing Cat5E/6, to creating and testing wireless hotspots, to configuring routers & firewalls for use with broadband or frame, working with network connectivity is just part of our everyday service. And it doesn’t stop there. We regularly configure and support print servers, notebooks, PDA’s, BlackBerry and other devices.
Security: With the increasing volume and magnitude of threats, network security has become top of mind and in some cases a P&L line item. We regularly perform threat and security analyses for customers and are well versed in installing and supporting internal and external security. We also regularly support customers who must be in compliance with HIPAA, Federal or State Banking regulations, or Criminal Justice regulations.
Value: Some companies call big city firms thinking that location has something to do with quality. In reality, we offer the same or better technical capabilities than our big city competitors and our customers find us to be as competent, more cost effective and more responsive than those firms. On the other hand, some companies overspend by using employees, friends or even computer technicians who have some, but not enough knowledge. Most of the time, it would have cost far less if we had been called first.
