Cloud Solutions in Knightdale

Cloud Solutions

More software is making the shift from needing to be installed on a device to cloud-based platforms. This allows users to access their files, applications, and communication tools from any device with an internet connection rather than only being able to access a program from one designated desktop. Many of the managed IT services we offer are hosted on the cloud so you can have more efficient, affordable options that are convenient to update, upgrade, and keep secure while allowing you to collaborate with your team, manage your projects, and connect with your clients. 

Why Choose Cloud Computing

  • Access your work from your tablet, laptop, or smartphone;
  • Automatically updates with security improvements and patches for problems;
  • Customizable and scalable options for your business;
  • Save money by not purchasing annual licenses or subscription expansions for different devices; 
  • Compliance with HIPAA, Payment Card Industry Standards, and Sarbanes-Oxley.

Knightdale Network Security and Design Services

Network Security and Design

Your ability to connect with clients and team members and access information and files all relies on a secure, stable network. As your business grows and your network becomes more strained, you’re more susceptible to slow data transmission, server crashes, and security vulnerabilities – all of which can reduce productivity and frustrate both your team and your clients. 

Network Design

We’ll help you avoid a sluggish network and crashes with a scalable, efficient network that is customized to your organization. We’ll look at how we can streamline your network, including installing an efficient cabling structure and adding servers to support more data transfers as well as looking at how we can improve security from the start to minimize external threats. 

Network Security

In addition to an efficient, robust network design, we’ll help protect it with managed network security through WatchGuard to block malware, phishing, and cyberattacks that could shut down your system and put your confidential data in the hands of hackers. WatchGuard includes: 

  • Centralized management
  • Firewall/VPN
  • Security subscription services
  • Security policy development and management
  • Security vulnerability scans
  • Patch management
  • 24/7 network monitoring and security alerts
  • Compliance assessment
  • Telecommunications monitoring and management
Hardware Management and Structured Cabling in Knightdale

Hardware Management and Structured Cabling

Think of your hardware, such as your desktop computers, routers, and servers as the skeleton of your technology infrastructure – it’s necessary to support your software, apps, and network. If your current hardware can’t support your essential tech, you’ll experience more outages and excessive lag time which can affect productivity. 

We’ll work with you to determine the right hardware that will meet your business’ needs as well as your budget so you can feel confident that your computers can keep up with your demand. 

Structured Cabling

We will design and install structured cabling systems that eliminate unstable point-to-point contacts and create a reliable, standardized system of cabling and associated hardware. This makes it easy to add hardware and users to your network, change your setup, and minimize the potential for human error while saving time on cable and port tracing.

Knightdale Business Communication Tools

Business Communication Tools

As the modern workplace changes, you’ll need modern business communication tools that allow you to stay competitive. We offer options that open up your ability to communicate, collaborate, and connect with both your team and your clients effectively, no matter where they are. 

Whether you want to turn any internet-connected device into a fully functional business phone to allow clients to reach you more easily or you want to improve how your team conducts video conference calls, collaborates on documents, and maintains your files, we can help you choose the right options for your business. 

Data Backup Protection and Recovery in Knightdale

Data Backup Protection and Recovery

Your most valuable asset is your data, especially client information. Without a reliable data backup protection and data recovery solution, a server crash can lead to hours of lost work, while a data breach or malware can wipe out your business’ files entirely. 

That’s why we offer Datto, a leading backup and disaster recovery software that securely backs up your files and data on a frequent, regular basis. Major disasters become minor inconveniences, and we can restore your files and business applications after minimal downtime.
