Managed Services

Managed Services provide a number of benefits to businesses of any size including:

  • Allowing you to concentrate on your business instead of IT concerns
  • Reduced costs through elimination of expensive IT personnel
  • Increased security because a dedicated staff is paid to ensure the latest patches and updates are applied
  • Around the clock system monitoring
  • Security devices are often leased eliminating the need to purchase and implement costly upgrades

Firewall, Virtual Private Network and Intrusion Detection

Whether your company has an IT staff or not, the incredible complexity and changing pace of modern firewalls, VPN's and intrusion detection systems can be impossible to keep up with. To solve this problem, many companies are turning toward managed services to meet their needs.

Managed services for security systems make a lot of sense. Due to the nature of their job, security devices need to be constantly patched and updated and they need to be monitored closely. Few companies are large enough to afford the staff needed for this kind of 24x7 service. Managed services provide all of the advantadges of a dedicated staff but at a much lower cost.

In order to provide truly high quality service we work with several companies who are dedicated to providing managed firewall, IDS and VPN solutions. They offer a number of options and service levels, but best of all we take care of all of the billing and are always available in the event of a problem or question.

Managed System Services

If you are starting from scratch a Managed Security Solution probably makes the most sense for your company. But, what do you do if you already have a firewall or need someone to manage your routers or database servers?

To meet these needs we offer our Managed System Service. Instead of hiring someone just to manage a couple of your systems, why not consider "borrowing" one of our trained administrators for a couple of days a month? We have system administrators on staff who can come in a couple of days a month, check on your systems, patch and update them, and alert you to any possible problems before they become serious. If you do have a problem with a system, we can send someone right over to fix it.

With our Managed System Service you get the benefit of a trained administrator at a fraction of the cost.
