NetworkPros serves companies that may have only 5 employees or 5000  yet one thing remains true for both types of clients, they both want and deserve to profit from the relationship. We provide the client with true value through stellar performance balanced with cost effective solutions. Smaller companies may require a small staff with a broad range of technical skills. Large companies may want to outsource projects or services such as remote monitoring or desktop maintenance. Management also needs systems capable of providing accurate real time reporting and have to be assured that there are proper controls, policies, and procedures in place and documented. Whether your a SMB (Small-Medium Business), Mid-Size, or the Large Enterprise, you may find you need total IT support, or a dependable group to compliment your existing IT Staff, or you may just be interested in Integration/Programming  projects But where can you find competent network professionals? How do you fund such an IT team? Create new revenue streams, enhance existing profit centers, and protect your investment in Networking Solutions by making NetworkPros your team. We will be there when you need us.

If you have in-house IT personnel, we can fill in the skill gaps they may have, or simply assist during project implementations when your own staff has more to do then they can handle. If you do not have in-house IT personnel, we provide you with a cost effective solution to managing the network needs that arise in the course of your business operations. NetworkPros' asset management system can provide detailed real-time inventory of your computer equipment and software.

NetworkPros offers a' la carte pricing for individual services, as well as comprehensive maintenance contracts which encompass all aspects of network / desktop operations. From High Level security to simple installations and upgrades NetworkPros is your one stop for IT services. 

At NetworkPros, we try to keep things simple.

Based upon our experience, IT consulting can take one of two paths. The first is straight consulting which is quoted on a case-by-case basis, and still comprises the vast majority of engagements. However, when the client comes to rely on his/her consultant it becomes necessary to take that relationship to the next level, which NetworkPros has done with its managed network solutions.

The first step in any engagement is a complete assessment of the client's network, including though not limited to documenting the network's configuration, structure, size, capacity, hardware and operating system/software usage. Once this information is cataloged, and stored within our secure extranet, the information is then made available not only to NetworkPros Network's technicians, but to the client's staff as well.

Once the client profile has been created, all future service calls, and/or support calls are also logged into our Extranet to build a database to facilitate future support issues. No longer does the client have to recreate the file of the last technician or lose valuable time determining the settings and configurations of the network every time a new IT professional enters or exits the scene.

We believe that the integrity and security of one's network is critical to overall corporate profitability. Maintaining proper records and tracking work performed is necessary to not only ensure the timely maintenance of your network, but to the long term reliability of your network as a whole. In addition, the access to relevant data assists in quickly solving the technical problems that do arise. That time savings ultimately saves the client money, which drops directly to the bottom line.

Software Licensing Simplified                                                                                
Software helps your organization work, but finding the right solution can be complicated. The Software Licensing Team at NetworkPros eliminates that complexity and makes purchasing software easier. With dozens of software partners and thousands of titles, NetworkPros is your source for volume software licensing.

Some benefits of volume licensing:

• Saves your organization money on software that is installed on multiple workstations
• Allows you to standardize the versions in use across your network, decreasing support needs
• Helps you budget for future software needs with features such as upgrade insurance and technical support service packs

Research is the first step in determining your software needs. Our NetworkPros Specialists are ready to assist you, making sure that you get the right technology, when you need it.

 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT NetworkPros : First, we always maintain a backup. If a computer has been compromised it may be necessary to reinstall or restore the operating system and all the applications to ensure that the Trojan (virus) is not hiding somewhere. We have to remember that these are created to be elusive.

ADVICE: Anti-virus software is a must have for anyone. Once you have the software, REMEMBER to update it and CONTINUE to keep it up-to-date for it to be effective. Without the update it is only effective to the date the software was published. It will not detect any viruses that were discovered after that time.

VOIP -
What is it? How can it help?
In previous versions of Tech Tips we've talked about how a VPN (Virtual Private Network) can allow you to access your business information (files, e-mail, etc.) from home. Now lets talk about VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)

VOIP can allow you to decrease telephone costs, for instance if your main location is in OHIO and you have branch offices in other states, currently you may be calling theses offices (expensive) or you may be leasing a permanent connection in order to facilitate these calls. With VOIP we can connect these office phone systems directly to the main office through the internet.

What does this mean to you? Firstly, you can call your other branches by dialing an extension (i.e., extension 230 might be you and 249 might be a desk in LA). Your PBX will work in exactly the same manner with no user training or extended dialing procedures. Of course all the calls over VOIP are in essence FREE, of course if you calculate the cost of a permanent connection to the Internet they do actually have a marginal cost but the per minute fees are gone.

Another capability that can be offered to save even more money is referred to as a TOLL BRIDGE. What this means is say again that you are in the corporate office in OHIO and you want to call a client in LA, your call is routed through the VOIP system to the LA office at which point it is routed to a land line in LA and then to your customer. Your customer doesn't know the difference, and you won't either. The ROI is established because that call is billed as a local LA call (eliminating the long-distance charges).

Even if you don't have branch offices if you have significant toll charges VOIP might be for you.

To talk more about VOIP and how it can enhance your overall profitability, please contact a NetworkPros Consultant.

Network Troubleshooting
No matter what the Network Operating System, Linux, Unix, Windows, Apple or Novell, a senior level NetworkPros Network Engineer will efficiently trouble-shoot your network problems. We solve problems in hours that other techs have been unable to solve in days. After identifying and isolating the problem we will quickly remedy the problem and return your network to smooth operation even if we have to work at night or on the weekend.

Network Installation and Support
Even the best hardware and software is of little value if it is not installed and configured properly. Knowing the correct settings for today's advanced server applications is simply a matter of experience. The ramifications of an incorrectly installed network or software program can result in costly budget overruns and operational downtime. NetworkPros  has years of experience and a diversified team upon which to draw, so you can rest assured that your network will be more then just "working", but also configured for maximum security and optimized for peak performance. NetworkPros  will also document the critical aspects of your network and make that information accessible.

Proactive Network Administration
Active management of your network, as opposed to waiting for it to breakdown, increases its reliability and your productivity. There are a few key areas that should be regularly maintained in order to ensure the safety and reliability of your network:

1.      Data Backup and Verification

2.      Antivirus Software Updates and Monitoring

3.      Microsoft and Application Updates

4.      Hardware Condition

5.      Firewall Integrity                                                                                                                                                                                                                                >>> return to top

For as little as two hours per week Network Pros can manage these critical tasks for you, allowing you to do what you do best, focus on your business.

Hardware and Software Procurement
Procurement of technology can be a complicated task.  Where can you get the best price?  What type of warranty do you need?  Which vendors stand behind their products? Over the years, NetworkPros  has dealt with many products from a variety of vendors and you can be assured that when you purchase from us you will be receive the best value for your investment and that we will handle warranty issues for you without any hassles.  Whether you prefer to do your own procurement or prefer to have NetworkPros  do that for you, we're here to assist you.

Remote Network Monitoring
If your server crashes or your network is "down", rapid resolution is critical. Server issues often affect every user on your network. You cannot afford to wait until tomorrow or the next day for an answer. NetworkPros  has the ability to access your server from a remote location and provide fast, efficient support in minutes, not days. If required, NetworkPros can dispatch a technician in just a couple of hours, seven days a week.

Technology Planning
The development of a technology plan is important in achieving your long-term business goals. An effective technology plan will document the details of what these goals are, how technology can help you accomplish these long-term business goals, and documentation of the costs in reaching these specified goals. You will feel confident that you are spending wisely and setting the necessary pieces in place for the implementation of these goals in the future.

Is Your Network Safe from Viruses and Hackers?

According to a recent research survey, cyber attacks have increased by almost 80 percent over the last two years!

Information Technology (IT) Security should be an ongoing and fundamental consideration in every aspect of your network infrastructure. Proper network configurations can go unnoticed to the untrained eye, which can result in multiple unknown "security vulnerabilities" or breaches in security. Professional security implementation requires a rigorous in-depth analysis with an overall solutions orientated strategy.

NetworkPros believes that affordable and effective network security solutions are possible to achieve through a highly skilled technology team. Initially, our specialized network security consultant will sit down with you to analyze your situation and create an outline for a strategic security solution. Our network security consultant will then present options and recommendations based upon your needs. Ultimately, our goal is to deliver to you the most value-based and cost-effective Network Security Consulting solutions possible.

Typical security services include:

·                     Security Audit - identification of current security concerns

·                     Security Threat Assessment (Penetration testing) - including internal and external vulnerability scans

·                     Secure Infrastructure Design - secured network design and access strategies including firewalls, intrusion detection, and VPN's

 Don't settle for less!  Don't pay for more!

Company Wide Security Threat Assessment and Reduction
A network must be designed with the goal of reducing or eliminating the risk of a security breach. A Security Threat Assessment will allow you to understand where your organization may be vulnerable to a security breach. Using specialized vulnerability management software tools and a series of interviews, our security consultants can help you identify critical areas of vulnerability. These assessments will be performed both internally and externally.

Threat Assessment Process:

• Identify and assess your most critical infrastructures and processes
• Intrusion detection and analysis via data mining and port scanning
• Recommend methods to detect future cyber attacks
• Recommend data integrity and protection
• Prepare Assessment Report
• Written estimate for parts and labor to implement a security "upgrade"

Secure Infrastructure Design
The topology structure of your network is the backbone. While many networks are "flat" without out subnetworks and multiple routers, a skilled specialist can diagram a new network structure that can greatly enhance your security level. For example, an office can be on a separate firewall then the warehouse; a wireless network, exchange server or web server should be on a separate network with separate routing/DHCP. Comprehensive network design and access strategies include firewalls, intrusion detection systems and VPN networks.

Firewall Selection and Implementation
A reliable firewall is a critical aspect of any security initiative. We maintain partnerships with the industry's premier firewall manufacturers, including SonicWall, Check Point, and Cisco. Our consultants will assist you in selecting and implementing the firewall that makes the most sense for your organization. Basically, a firewall examines each network packet to determine whether or not to forward it toward its destination. A firewall also includes or works with a proxy server that makes network requests on behalf of workstation users.

There are a number of firewall screening methods. A simple one is to screen requests to make sure they come from acceptable (previously identified) domain name and Internet Protocol addresses. The most effective firewall implementation is Stateful Packet Inspection. For mobile users, firewalls allow remote access into the private network by the use of secure logon procedures and authentication certificates (VPN). 

Virtual Private Networking (VPN)
VPN services can dramatically reduce the costs and complexity of providing connectivity to remote offices and remote users. VPN services are typically tied into your firewall, and utilize an encrypted tunnel through the Internet to provide secure connectivity to network resources. Our consultants can assist you in developing and integrating VPN solutions into your network systems.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a private data network that makes use of the public telecommunication infrastructure, maintaining privacy through the use of a tunneling protocol and security procedures. The idea of the VPN is to give the company the same capabilities at much lower cost by using the shared public infrastructure rather than a private one. Phone companies have provided secure shared resources for voice messages. A virtual private network makes it possible to have the same secure sharing of public resources for data. Companies today are looking at using a private virtual network for both extranets and wide-area intranets.

With a VPN, a company can exchange data with virtually anyone in the world for nearly half the cost of using dedicated and/or frame relay circuits. As an added benefit, the same VPN technology can securely connect networks to remote access users, utilizing dialup links or broadband services such as xDSL and cable modems. 

Network Monitoring and Security Management Services
Keeping up with hackers is a full-time job, and one that most organizations do not have the time do. We proactively monitor hacker activity as they attempt to penetrate your network boundary and receive notifications of a security breach. You'll receive real-time intrusion detection monitoring, as well as log file analysis and comprehensive Internet usage and traffic reports.

Our security management software proactively ensures system availability by establishing security configuration baselines, continuously auditing for security vulnerabilities and helping to correct exposures before they result in security breaches or costly downtime.

Our group of monitoring programs will:

• Check systems for Spy-Ware software.                                                                                                                                                       >>> return to top
• Review security policies and ensure that they are current, implemented and enforced.
• Ensure current service-level and security patches have been installed, including antivirus updates.
• Review and monitor critical system logs for suspect activity.
• Revisit your firewall configurations and rules to ensure that unnecessary ports and services are turned off and that access control is tightly managed.

Revisit access control lists to ensure that access to critical functions and resources is limited.

Database Driven Web Development                                                                                                                                                                   >>> return to top

A database driven web site is one where the content displayed in the various web pages is at least partially coming from an external system called a database.

Typically, calls are made from within the programming of the web page to request data from the database and then the programming decides how to display it within the context of the page. This is an advanced web development technique utilized by all major web sites and employed more and more by competent developers for their small business clients.

Securing your business for the future

NetworkPros Security Consulting Portfolio enables you to gain this important business advantage. We help reduce risk and mitigate vulnerabilities to threats to your IT infrastructure through sound practices, applied security technology, and a continuous improvement framework.

Our Security Portfolio comprises one of the largest and most experienced security consulting teams in the world, who are deeply engaged in the science, technology, and art of information protection.

Service

Identify exposure to security threats

With the ever-changing landscape of technology and threats in an increasingly complex network of data exchange, maintaining awareness and effective management of security vulnerabilities is a full-time responsibility. Identifying these vulnerabilities and establishing sound practices and configuration controls can greatly increase an organization's security posture and improve its ability to avoid future vulnerabilities.

The NetworkPros Risk Analysis service investigates your organization's systems, networks, operations, and procedures to determine exposures to known threats. Less invasive than our Penetration Testing service, Risk Analysis takes a holistic approach to identifying weaknesses in security by investigating all aspects of your information management process and systems. Once vulnerabilities and their effect on the security of valued data assets are identified, NetworkPros security consultants can help you develop a comprehensive plan to address the technology and operational weaknesses.

NetworkPros security consultants deliver the Risk Analysis service in four phases:                                                                            >>> return to top                             

• Planning: Determine the scope of systems and processes, interview key players to determine critical points within the network, and collect information to determine priorities and execution processes.
• Design: Develop a process to locate and measure vulnerabilities and create appropriate testing procedures.
• Implementation: Analyze and review information with customer staff in regular meetings to determine findings and recommendations.
• Operations: Work with customer to create an outline of procedures to improve security and reduce vulnerabilities.

The Network Baseline Assessment service focuses on determining where opportunities exist for optimizing your network environment and making recommendations for decreasing bandwidth to lower costs, and determining the value of adding bandwidth to enhance service for remote locations. During this engagement, NetworkPros network consultants analyze your network usage and develop a picture of the traffic patterns across your critical network links to give you the insight you need to determine how to optimally manage your network in the face of cost constraints and additional traffic requirements. We also analyze network performance data to determine the worst network delays and recommend corrective actions to improve unacceptable delays and minimize the impact to mission-critical applications.

Upgrade Problems - The most popular upgrades are peripherals (Like a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM), Hard Drives, Motherboard Upgrades, Video Card Upgrades, and RAM Memory. Hard Drives will give you more storage space for programs and files, while RAM Memory will, to a point, make your computer faster. Those that enjoy playing video games might want to invest in a high end video card. Upgrades can be a great way to extend the life of your computer, but sometimes it's cheaper and actually better to buy a new PC rather than upgrade the old one. We'll tell you straight what's best for your situation.

Laptop Problems - Laptops have their own special problems. Often times, the power adapter and/or connector is causing problems. Perhaps you just dropped your laptop, and now the screen is broken, or it no longer boots up. Often, we can give a good estimate over the phone, and help you decide if your Laptop is worth fixing. Upgrades are often a good way to get more life out of your laptop. A RAM upgrade can make a dramatic difference in the speed of your computer, while a Hard Drive upgrade will give you more room for MP3 Files, Pictures, video files, and other documents.

Wireless Networks
Until recently, wireless local-area network products were used primarily in certain traditional organizations. Wireless LANs meet the requirement for users to move freely while remaining connected to the network. More organizations are planning for and implementing wireless LANs than ever before. Wireless LAN solutions can provide flexible connectivity solutions where only fixed solutions existed before:

• Mobile sales personnel and consultants
• IT professionals and business executives
• Sites that are not conducive to LAN wiring because of building or budget limitations
• Cost savings offered by a line-of-sight, building-to-building bridge

Virtual Private Networking
Today's businesses need to make data resources available to an ever-widening and increasingly mobile audience. Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) can extend geographical connectivity to employees working at home, to mobile users and to corporate intranets and to partner extranets — improving productivity and competitive flexibility while cutting costs. Drawing from our extensive expertise in network engineering and standards-based VPN technology, we provide an effective end-to-end VPN solution tailored to a company's specific needs. Businesses that will benefit from VPNs include those with:

• Multiple sites
• Field staff and roaming users                                                                                                                                                                         >>> return to top
• Extranet/supplier/partner connections
• Mid-size, multiple location clients who require communication between sites without high availability and bandwidth requirements
• Many remote access users, typically with an 800 number for corporate dial-in.
  
  We offers VPN solutions that provide maximum manageability and flexibility. With improved accessibility, global reach and control, businesses have increased opportunities to sell more value-added services, enhance customer and partner relationships and expand workforces geographically.

Remote Access Solutions
With telecommuting becoming commonplace, offering your workers the option to work from alternate office sites or from home will help you attract and maintain a quality workforce and improve productivity as well as employee satisfaction.

We can setup secure dial-up or Internet-based Virtual Private Network (VPN) access to your network from anywhere in the world. Remote access gives you the ability to do everything you can do at the office but be anywhere.

You will have access to files on a network server or shared resources on a workstation, access to network printers, access to the internet, and access to your e-mail.

Network Attached Storage

Network Attached Storage devices are high-performance storage appliances that provide shared data to clients and other servers on a Local Area Network (LAN). A NAS device does not need to be located within the server but can exist anywhere in a LAN and can be made up of multiple networked NAS devices.

Features

Why? Typical desktop virus protection depends upon users who:
-Forget to update their virus protection software.
-Infrequently update their virus protection software. Most virus protection software recommends updating virus software once every 30 days.
Yet at least 5 new viruses are created each day.
-Turn off or delete their virus protection software.

Finding Network Security in the Internet Open Space

Network administrators have good reason to feel beleaguered today. Amid well-publicized attacks on the world's most sophisticated and best-designed networks, IT managers must somehow keep their own networks safe and their companies' private data secure. At the same time they face an overwhelming demand for new communication services, many of them delivered over the public Internet

In fact the Internet has become an irreplaceable tool for most businesses. It is the primary source of market news and competitor intelligence, a conduit to customers, a medium of direct commerce, and an essential tie to partners and suppliers. Increasingly, it is even being used to extend the traditional WAN. But when a private network connects to the Internet, it opens physical links to more than 50,000 unknown networks and all their unknown users. While this interconnectedness brings exciting opportunities for information sharing, it also brings threats to information not meant for sharing. Network managers face the task of giving their organizations the connectivity they need for corporate and individual communications, while keeping their sensitive information and proprietary data secure.

First Line of Defense

The good news is that with planning, discipline and a modest investment, secure operation over the Internet is possible for businesses of any size. To help you mitigate security threats and meet your goals for network productivity and total cost of ownership, NetworkPros offers expert computer security advice and consulting services to support Dallas businesses as you plan, design, implement, operate, and optimize your network security solution. NetworkPros's commitment to technical excellence has been allowed us to achieve the status of Microsoft Certified Partner and Cisco Certified Premier Partner.

WIRELESS NETWORKING

The workplace continues to evolve beyond the traditional desktop as employees and workgroups become more mobile. When professionals conduct business away from their desktop environment, they lose access to valuable applications, Internet content and communications tools. This separation from the desktop negatively impacts the productivity of teams and individuals.

 Why Wireless LANs?                                                                                                                                                                                                   >>> return to top

Organizations around the world are installing wireless networks to increase employee productivity. Wireless mobility solutions extend the enterprise by keeping employees connected to the corporate network's applications, content, and communications channels for a larger percentage of each day whether they are at work, at home, or on the road.

WLAN Security Concerns - Is Mobility Secure?

With the increased reliance on Wireless LANs, businesses are becoming more concerned about network security. Network managers need to provide end users with freedom and mobility without offering intruders access to the Wireless LAN or the information sent and received on the wireless network. Fortunately, the security technology is now available to provide privacy of corporate data that rides over all types of networks: private corporate networks, the Internet, and wireless LANs. The IEEE 802.1X standard provides reliable, scalable and centralized security management with mutual authentication and dynamic encryption features to protect the privacy of transmitted data.

Productivity Zone

As employees move away from the desktop their productivity decreases. Businesses can improve employee and workgroup productivity by extending secure, high-speed access to the corporate network while at the workplace via wireless and IP Communications at home via telework, and on the road via secure wireless solutions at hotspots. As businesses add mobility solutions, they extend employees access to the corporate network beyond the desktop, thus increasing employee productivity.

In November 2001, an independent study by NOP World—one of the world's largest research and business information companies— found that WLANs enabled end users to stay connected an additional 1.75 hours each day, resulting in an increase in productivity of up to 22 percent.

The legal industry is experiencing dramatic changes that will have a profound impact on law firms and the way they run their business. Law firms are already under increasing pressure to become more responsive to clients, while reducing their costs in order to distance themselves from competitors.

In the wake of these changes, law firms of all sizes are being forced to reevaluate their priorities, competitive strategies, and the way they conduct business with their clients. Intense competition has led to a wave of mergers and acquisitions, as law firms increasingly focus on high-value work or diversify into new practice areas. These converging organizations are placing renewed emphasis on productivity of the legal staff, cost control, and operational efficiency as they strive to become more services-centric.

Customer expectations for the legal profession are changing as well, as clients demand new services and more immediate access to attorneys and information, at all times of the day. As law firms seek to forge closer relationships with their clients, open communication, client collaboration, and improved customer responsiveness are becoming mission-critical.
