Configuration standards help companies build infrastructure that is consistent, secure and easy to troubleshoot. In addition to these features, building a network on sound best practices improves security, performance and stability. Our systems engineers are skilled at configuring and organizing data so your company can focus on running your business. Optimized configurations mean your systems will scale well and deliver stable network services in the most efficient manner intended by the manufacturer.
Security

Secure configuration standards improve security by taking care of the “configuration” basics. Basic configuration tasks that often get overlooked are renaming the administrator account, verifying backup agents are installed correctly, patching and installing antivirus software. Without good standards any of these important security tasks can be missed which often time results in security breaches and downtime.

Stability

Sound configuration standards start with the manufacturers best practices for stability and performance. Then we add our own internal configuration changes and add-on software to assist in speedy troubleshooting, problem reporting and even security event detection.
