One thing we can all agree on is that business continuity is fundamental to business success. The ramifications of a break in continuity can be enormous.

Your mission-critical IT infrastructure is protected by our best-in-class technologies and managed by our team of experts.

  • Storage Solutions - Don't rely on a single backup to secure your data. Multiple images, snapshots, continuous backups and data replication ensure your data will always be available to you.

Security

Probably the most important issue for the SMB is the security of its own and its customers' data. For example, as business use of smartphones and tablets escalate, the need for SMBs to be able to secure company data being access via mobile devices (both company and employee owned) is a real security concern. Those challenges include the remote removal of company apps and data when a device is misplaced, stolen or an employee leaves.

SMB's currently depend on legacy approaches such as VPNs and restricting the use of personal devices. These solutions are old, more complex to manage/ deploy and prevent the SMB from being more agile and able to take advantage of employee willingness to be available outside the normal business day - preventing fast response to business and customer needs. A Netguistics managed device solution handles these issues and allows the SMB to be both agile and capable of asserting control and security over its most important asset - its data.

Our offerings include:

  • Mobile Device Management
  • 2-factor authentication solutions
  • Managed Firewalls
  • Managed Endpoint Security

Cloud Migration and Hardware Virtualization

Small and medium businesses (SMBs) face many of the same IT challenges as larger businesses, trying to accommodate increasing demand for new IT capabilities and services. SMBs often place even greater emphasis on cost savings and on protecting business critical systems and data, since shrinking IT staff and budgets and a "do more with less" attitude make it difficult to simultaneously maintain day-to-day business operations and invest in new strategic projects that can yield longer-term efficiencies to help the business grow.

While shifting business functions to the cloud benefits from cloud capabilities such as high availability, reliability, and manageability of systems it is not always possible, cost effective or prudent to move everything to the cloud. Further choices include selecting between a public or private cloud. The bottom line is that there are a number of factors that need to be considered.

Rather than a “one size fits all” approach, or having to choose between public or private, Netguistics will help you build a hybrid cloud strategy to meet your unique business requirements. We help our clients both accelerate and simplify cloud adoption as well as guide them through the process of virtualizing aspects of their on premise systems while migrating parts that make sense to the cloud.


Wireless Solutions

Not all wireless solutions are equivalent in terms of technology, capability, security, coverage or ability to grow with your business. While purchasing wireless equipment requires no special knowledge, designing a secure and appropriate wireless solution certainly does.

Netguistics can design, implement and support a wide range of robust and secure wireless and mobility solutions to meet all of your critical business needs. Together, these solutions offer seamless connectivity and security - all in a wireless infrastructure that provides excellent stability, reliability and coverage.

Our offerings include:

  • WiFi RTLS (Real-Time Locations Systems)
  • Wireless networking for voice, data and multimedia, including video
  • Wireless connectivity to all desktop and notebook hardware, as well as handheld devices
  • Secure connectivity in public hotspots, office buildings, government and educational facilities, remote sites (including field and construction areas) and remote/home offices

Voice Over IP and Unified Communications

Voice over IP (commonly known as VoIP) is an important and not fully utilized technology for SMBs. VoIP allows the SMB to implement a unified communications (UC) solution which is where its true value comes to light. A UC solution essentially combines all of your communications - including voice, data, and video - into a secure, easy-to-manage solution with lots of great features.

A Netguistics implemented UC solution will increase productivity and save you money by:

  • Improving communications between employees and customers
  • Offer more ways for you and your employees to stay connected
  • Utilize "presence" technology allowing your business to react quickly to customer needs
  • Makes it easier for staff to be able to work from home-or from anywhere with an Internet connection

Document Management and Storage Solutions

Information in the form of e-mails, documents, presentations, databases, graphics, audio files and spreadsheets is the lifeblood of most companies, and the applications that run and protect your business require a lot of disk space. In addition, a number of trends are fueling our growing hunger for storage:

  • Government regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, require businesses to maintain and back up a variety of data they might have otherwise deleted.
  • For legal reasons, many small businesses are now archiving e-mail messages dating back five or more years.
  • The pervasiveness of viruses and spyware require more vigilant backups--which requires ever-more storage capacity.
  • New version of a software application or operating system demands more hard-drive real estate than its predecessor.
  • Businesses which need to convert large amounts of paper records to scanned document management systems to enable them to be more easily referenced, searched, located, filed, etc.
  • The growing need to store large media files, such as video, and make them available to users on a network is generating demand for more sophisticated storage solutions.

Storing information and managing its storage is critical to a company's behind-the-scenes success. Fortunately, there are many options available to small businesses for both the actual storage and the location of that storage. Often, the best solution is a combination of different storage options. This is where a Netguistics designed storage strategy can help design a solution that can handle large amounts of data in terms of managing it, protecting it, and securing while being conscious of the SMBs cost and ease of use requirements.

Storing information and managing its storage is critical to a company's behind-the-scenes success. Fortunately, there are many options available to small businesses for both the actual storage and the location of that storage. Often, the best solution is a combination of different storage options.

Our strategy begins with an analysis to determine what your storage needs actually are. Our analysis looks to answer questions such as:

  • Which applications generate the largest amount of files?
  • How old is the data?
  • How much of your data is duplicate or stale?
  • How much is not business related?
  • How quickly do you need to be able to access that data?
  • From what locations do you need to access which data?

Once complete we then look at what your future needs would look like and develop a strategy that can grow with your business with a plan for deploying the storage your business is likely to need when and where it will be needed.
