Systems Engineering

The Systems Engineering team handles the most complex network design and troubleshooting issues. The systems engineering and consulting groups are where many of the problems requiring creative solutions end up.  Anyone can handle a simple network with one or two new servers, or even a large environment that is all new and up to date.  But in the real world, most businesses have a mixed bag when it comes to old versus new technology, frankly sometimes its just a mess.  Businesses that have customized databases, based on non standard or non supported technology can be a challenge to work with when we are virtualizing or moving to the cloud.  We take pride in trying to always find the most economical and expedient solution to help our clients move forward.  We never push technology for technologies sake, and we always find a way!  Our Systems Engineering team handles issues such as: Network and server design and troubleshooting Server upgrades and migrations Escalation from the rest of the support team Cloud infrastructure design and migration Advanced virtualization and storage systems Complex VLAN, switching, and routing systems Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity systems Cyber security systems and training Helping guide and evaluate plans for future needs Assistance with compliance and security audits Being part of the engineering and NOC teams can be a lot of fun, everyday is different, and we always seem to have an abundance of interesting and challenging projects.    Engineering & Support Help Desk Services Onsite Services Server Support Network Management Data Backup Disaster Recovery System Engineering Network Operations Network Security Project Work Staff Augmentation Cloud Services Computer Consulting Professional IT Management Service and Support Management Project Management Standard Operating Procedures IT Policies Systems Documentation Technology Consulting Cyber Security Training Reporting and Metrics Co-Managed IT Services Planning & Consulting Virtual CIO Services Strategic Alignment Budgeting IT Road-Map Business Continuity Workflow Analysis

Network Operations – Monitoring & Alerting

The Network Operations team, and our associated tools, systems and processes, make up the Network Operations Center (NOC). The industry term for the Network Operations Center is usually just NOC (pronounced ‘knock’).  We have two primary functions, the first is to build, manage and maintain the infrastructure that we use to manage our clients infrastructure.  The second is to work with the engineering team on the most complex and involved client projects. The Network Operations team’s responsibilities include:   Managing multiple monitoring and alerting systems Monitoring of thousands of network devices, servers and firewalls Responsible for Windows updates and security patches for all client systems Security configurations and motoring for client firewalls, VPNs and servers Anti-virus and anti-malware systems across all client networks Data backup systems and management for all client data Managing multiple private cloud platforms Round trip email monitoring for client email servers Producing reports for management and client review Compliance and security audits Offsite data backup infrastructure and systems Performance monitoring of client database systems And on and on, you get the point.  Network Operations is the team that provides the back end systems, automation, and management platforms that the rest of the team uses to manage our clients technology. We also help with escalation for the engineering team and assist with more complex client migrations and projects.    Engineering & Support Help Desk Services Onsite Services Server Support Network Management Data Backup Disaster Recovery System Engineering Network Operations Network Security Project Work Staff Augmentation Cloud Services Computer Consulting Professional IT Management Service and Support Management Project Management Standard Operating Procedures IT Policies Systems Documentation Technology Consulting Cyber Security Training Reporting and Metrics Co-Managed IT Services Planning & Consulting Virtual CIO Services Strategic Alignment Budgeting IT Road-Map Business Continuity Workflow Analysis

This might be to help out with deployment and training of new hardware or software systems, helping out with onboarding new employees, or to help open a new office.
