- LAN/WAN Design & Implementation
Almost all business have or need a LAN (local area
network) to fully utilize their IT investment and to access
and participate in the Internet and e-commerce
movements. However, most businesses have found that
implementing a LAN or WAN (wide area network) can be a
daunting task. Further, finding an external resource to
do so can be a costly and often systems are deployed that are
not correctly sized for the company and result in negative
return on investment. Brimark Consulting Group knows how
small and medium sized businesses operates and can effectively
design and implement LAN/WAN systems that provide positive
results.
- IP & Internet Networks
The key to IP (Internet protocol) networks is ubiquity and
interoperability. IP is what has enabled and allowed the
creation of the Internet with the ability of diverse networks
to inter-connect and exchange traffic around the world.
These same protocols and principles are used by companies to
establish and operate local networks and inter-connect their
separate LANs into a powerful network among all of their
locations. With a network connecting multiple locations
companies can now leverage technology to a greater extent and improve
communications while reducing the overall cost of administration
of the technology resources.
- Security & VPN
With the explosion of the Internet has come both
opportunity and opportunists. The opportunity of the
Internet is great - with reduced communications costs,
e-commerce efficiencies, and abundance of information
exchange. However, with it also came opportunists which
prey upon the insecure networks often connected to the
Internet. These opportunists, more often referred to as
hackers or crackers, look to exploit information that they can
obtain from corporate networks. Businesses of any size
need to be cognizant and aware of the danger and deploy a security
strategy that includes a gateway security device like a
firewall and malicious software (virus, worm, etc) protection.
When utilizing the Internet as a WAN backbone companies should
deploy a VPN (virtual private network) to ensure that data
transmitted across the Internet is secure and protected.
- IP Telephony
IP Telephony is the result of a fully converged voice and
data network. Rather than having voice traffic on a
circuit switched network voice traffic is packetized and
transmitted on the shared IP network. This provides flexibility
and efficiencies and by utilizing QoS (Quality of Service) techniques
that prioritize voice packets - equal or better voice quality
is achieved with the packet based network. Companies
that deploy IP Telephony can extend and leverage telephone
systems across offices and allow access to these system from
remote teleworkers. Further IP Telephony systems provide
high levels of integration with messaging systems and customer
resource management systems - which create efficiencies and
provide better service.
- Web based SW Development
Originally viewed as an information dissemination media the
Web has evolved to provide complete interaction and
collaboration as well as e-commerce. Companies can now
utilize the web to not only communicate with customers,
suppliers, and employees but use it to fully engage these
parties and conduct transactions via the Web. With
experienced developers Brimark Consulting Group specializes in
developing data driven interactive web sites that provide
business functionality at a fraction of the cost of
traditional software systems. Further Web based systems
can be utilized and designed for internal parties (Intranet),
external partners (Extranet), and general Internet users.
- Application Hosting
Internet and Extranet applications require specific
hosting needs. A secure data center built for redundancy
and uptime is required to insure that applications are
available and secure. Brimark Consulting Group provides application
hosting for Web applications, hosted Windows applications, and
custom applications.
