Network Infrastructures

The following components of your network infrastructure have a direct impact on the success of your business.

Firewalls

WiFi networks

ROUTERS AND SWITCHES

High-speed communications infrastructure would not have been possible without routers and switches.

It is essential to move data from point A to point B at the highest possible speed through the most secure connections possible.
That's why we formed a partnership and obtained professional certificates from one of the most important companies in the telecommunications industry, CISCO. Our engineers can design and configure the most sophisticated networks, making it possible to transport high-speed data traffic across the entire network infrastructure.

FIREWALLS

Anticipating, intercepting and protecting communications against cyber threats is the main purpose of Palo Alto firewalls.

The firewall is the most strategic security component of the entire infrastructure, due to the fact that it "sees" all the data traffic and as such, it is the most efficient location to apply the company's security policies.
Based on patented App-ID technology, Palo Alto Networks firewalls accurately identify applications — regardless of port, protocol, evasive tactics, or SSL encryption — and scan the entire contents of packet data to stop threats and prevent information leaks. With Palo Alto Networks, businesses can, for the first time, have complete control over applications installed on various devices without leaking data or being attacked by other malware, spyware, and ransomware.

BALANCING MULTIPLE INTERNET CONNECTIONS

To avoid interrupting or slowing down your internet connection, we have developed a solution for balancing internet connections from multiple sources. In this way, employees, hotel or guest house guests can enjoy uninterrupted internet services.

The purpose of internet connection balancing equipment is to optimize the use of available resources, maximize efficiency, reduce response time, and avoid overloading any connection. This will increase the availability and reliability of the architecture.

STORAGE SPACES (SAN)

A SAN storage space consists of blocks of data storage interconnected by high-speed networks. SAN storage spaces are composed of hosts, switches, storage elements, and storage devices that are interconnected using a variety of technologies, topologies, and protocols.

Explain in a simpler way, a small or medium business would benefit from SAN technology in that it could have data servers that would store company electronic documents or install databases for various applications. All of these tasks can be performed using HP servers and management systems such as Microsoft or VMware.

DNS

DNS systems are used to resolve the names of websites such as www.example.com in IP addresses. The DNS service should be viewed as an index for the entire Internet, and without it, systems around the world would not be able to communicate with each other in such an easy way.

That's why small and medium-sized businesses can implement their own Linux or Microsoft DNS server to streamline equipment communications and employee productivity by simply remembering the names and IP addresses of the resources most accessed by employees.

WiFi NETWORKS

In a world where mobile technology is becoming more and more advanced, WiFi technology allows various electronic devices, such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, etc., to access internet services.

Therefore, due to the increased number of BYOD devices, it is imperative to deploy WiFi networks within your organization. We can help you set up WiFi networks so that all access points in your organization are managed by a single central device.

Servers and Backup

What defines the SAN storage platform?

In fact, SAN is no longer a separate device, but a complete solution, which is a specialized network infrastructure for data storage. Storage networks are integrated as separate, specialized subnets into a local area network (LAN) or global network (WAN).

SAN architecture

In fact, SANs connect one or more servers (SAN servers) to one or more storage devices. SANs allow any SAN server to access any storage device without uploading other servers or a local network. In addition, data can be exchanged between data storage devices without the involvement of servers. In fact, SANs allow a large number of users to store information in one place (with fast centralized access) and share it.

The advantages of SANs

The main advantages of SAN technology include high performance, high data availability, excellent scalability and manageability, the ability to consolidate and virtualize data.

Non-blocking architecture Fiber Channel switch factories allow multiple SAN servers to access storage devices simultaneously.

In the SAN architecture, data can be easily moved from one storage device to another, thus optimizing data placement. This is especially important when multiple SAN servers require simultaneous access to the same storage devices. Keep in mind that the process of consolidating data is impossible when using other technologies, such as when using DAS devices, which are storage devices directly connected to servers.

Another possibility offered by the SAN architecture is data virtualization. The idea of virtualization is to give SAN servers access to resources rather than separate storage devices. That is, servers should not "see" virtual storage devices, but virtual resources. For practical implementation of virtualization, a special virtualization device can be placed between the SAN servers and the devices to which the storage devices are connected on the one hand and the SAN servers on the other. In addition, many modern FC and HBA switches offer the ability to implement virtualization.

The next opportunity offered by SANs is the implementation of remote data mirrors. The principle of mirroring data is to duplicate information across multiple media, which increases the reliability of information storage. An example of the simplest case of mirroring data is the combination of two disks in a level 1 RAID array. In this case, the same information is recorded simultaneously on two disks. The disadvantage of this method can be considered the local location of both disks (usually the disks are in the same basket or rack). SANs can overcome this disadvantage and provide the ability to reflect not only individual storage devices, but also SANs, which are hundreds of kilometers apart.

Another advantage of SANs is the simplicity of data backup. Traditional backup technology, which is used in most local area networks, requires a dedicated Backup server and, most importantly, a dedicated network bandwidth. In fact, during the backup operation, the server becomes unavailable to users on the local network. In fact, the backup is usually done at night.

The architecture of data storage networks allows us to approach the issue of backup in a fundamentally different way. In this case, the Backup server is an integral part of the SAN and is connected directly to the switching unit. In this case, Backup-Traffic is isolated from LAN traffic.

Why backup is so important

The purpose of backups is to create a mirror image of data that can be recovered in case of loss of primary data. Primary data failures can be the result of hardware or software failure, data corruption, or a human-caused event, such as a cyber attack (virus, malware, or ransomware), or accidental deletion of data. Backups allow you to restore data from a previous time to help the company recover its critical data.

Storing copies of data on separate media is essential to protect you from loss or corruption. This extra environment can be as simple as an external drive or USB stick, or something more substantial, such as a disk storage system, a cloud storage container, or a tape drive. The alternate environment may be in the same location as the primary data or in a remote location.

For best results, backups are made regularly and consistently to reduce the amount of data lost between backups. The longer the time between backups, the greater the potential for data loss when recovering from a backup. Keeping multiple copies of data also gives you the flexibility to go back to a time when your data was not affected by cyberattacks or intentional deletion.

Structured cabling

What is structured cabling

Structured cabling is a system of cables, fiber optics, and other hardware components that interconnect your company's communications systems infrastructure. These may include phones, camcorders, computers, and data centers.

The benefits of structured cabling

1. Easily scalable

Structured cabling systems encapsulate all cables in an easy-to-manage way, making it possible to add new technologies or equipment to your organization's IT environment.

If your business is growing and you need new computers or video conferencing systems, all this can be done without interrupting the company's current operations. At the same time, relocating departments or employees will be very simple.

2. Fewer network problems

Unorganized cables that hang without a label on them often cause problems, resulting in data network crashes and decreased productivity.

A well-developed cable network will make life easier for you and your employees.

3. Solve problems quickly

No matter how well the cables are organized, problems can still arise. It is in the nature of IT systems to give us unpleasant surprises and stop working at normal parameters.

However, a structured cable system makes the time to identify the cause of the problems much shorter.

4. Aesthetic pleasure

Think of potential customers who will cross the threshold of your office for a meeting and see a pile of wiring harnesses that interconnect electronic devices. That would be a pretty ugly picture.

Efficiently designed cabling systems from the beginning will avoid all these aesthetic inconveniences and the offices will look professional in a professional way, and you will inspire potential customers to be serious about offering your services.

5. Safety

In addition to being unsightly, messy cable systems pose a high risk of:

• Fire
• Electric shocks
• The danger of stumbling

6. Better return on investment

Due to the optimal design of a structured network cabling system, fewer outages and maintenance sessions are involved.

Your company will also save money on cables and subsequent long-term changes resulting in a good return on investment.

Surveillance systems

You can now see that security cameras are widely used in the business area. See video cameras at a fast food restaurant, clothing store, etc. So what exactly are the benefits and importance of video camera surveillance at work?

Reasons to have video surveillance systems

1. Reduce and prevent theft

Placing security cameras throughout the building can help prevent crimes such as vandalism or theft.

According to recent studies of the retail industry, small and medium enterprises lose large sums of money due to theft. When security cameras are properly positioned, they can help deter potential thieves.

2. Do real-time monitoring

Real-time video monitoring can be extremely useful. Commercial video surveillance will allow any authorized employee to continuously monitor critical areas of the business.

This monitoring can be done using a computer, mobile phone or tablet anywhere, anytime. What's more, you may have multiple locations to upload your videos to a centralized location where you can later view their entire activity.

3. Improve productivity

Another reason to consider supervision in your business, especially factories, is to improve worker productivity. Communication between departments is improved, which can improve overall production. In addition, employees are more likely to work at increased capacity when they know they are being monitored.

4. Resolve business disputes

No matter what type of business you run, disputes will arise. A surveillance camera can provide clear video evidence of a specific incident between employees. This will lead to a fair resolution and reduce violence in the workplace.

5. Provide evidence for investigations

Another major advantage of having a video surveillance system in the workplace is that it provides evidence for investigations.

If there is any type of criminal or suspicious activity around your building, video cameras can help identify people and provide visual evidence for a police investigation.

6. Digital storage medium

IP camera systems allow users to store all digitally recorded material using a hard disk, network server, or NVR. Digital storage makes the search facility easier, making it easier to find the records you want.

7. Improving the customer shopping experience

Placing video equipment in stores is not just about safety.

Business managers and small retail store owners can also use the rooms to provide a better shopping experience. Business managers can study customers' shopping habits by studying the videos recorded by surveillance systems.

Then you can improve product placement and optimize in-store traffic routes, making customers more satisfied.

DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail)

This option, when enabled, will automatically sign all emails sent via SMTP or WEBMAIL connection with a digital signature, thus preventing your emails from reaching the recipients' SPAM boxes.
Advanced details on what DKIM is and how it works can be found on wikipedia.

SSL certificate

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It is a security standard / protocol and was developed by Netscape in 1994. Its use is easily identifiable due to a small padlock (in graphical form) that appears in the browser.

SSL secure web addresses start with https :, not http :; As such, some users use the term "HTTPS" for SSL.

How it works

The SSL certificate encrypts the information so that it can only be decrypted by the server to which it is addressed. This guarantees that the information sent to a website will not be stolen or altered.

The advantages of SSL technology

SSL offers a higher degree of privacy and security compared to an unencrypted web connection. This technology reduces the risk of information being intercepted and misused by a third party.

Many site visitors are more confident in sharing personal information when they know you're using an SSL connection.

The biggest advantage is that it protects passwords from being intercepted when this feature is implemented on a login page.
Another important advantage, according to Google, is that sites that have an SSL certificate installed are better positioned in search engines.
