The Process
We went through a "top to
bottom" business technology review with the owners of Options
Direct. This mid-sized reseller of electronics, computer parts, and
networking gear was running their critical business software on a
desktop-grade PC.
During our evaluation we
identified several common weaknesses in the organization's disaster
plan, security policies, insecure wireless networking and unreliable
remote access.
Charland Technology
specified and installed a Windows SBS2003 R2 network, including a
durable HP Proliant DL365 server, new networking gear, and secure
wireless solution.
We also implemented a
SonicWall tz100 Unified Threat Management Firewall, including secure
wireless networking, Web Content Filtering, and advanced Network
Intrusion Detection systems.
We send critical data
off-site each day using Intronis eSureIT online backup system.
The End Result

The new network and server
have improved reliability and network performance noticeably.
-
In 2008 the company hired a
full-time remote employee who was able to access all required
resources.

Backups are regularly
verified and tested.
