There are
many threats lurking around on
the Internet today from hackers
to viruses. Data is also at risk
if not backed up or protected
properly in a redundant
environment. Many businesses are
surprised when their network is
compromised or a disaster occurs
and often wonder how they will
recover. Investment in security
and data protection is highly
important to all business, and
MBM can help:
*
Firewalls - These are
used to filter traffic between
your private network and the
Internet. Hackers trawl the
Internet for any opportunity to
compromise a network or
computer. The use of strong
firewalls will prevent unwanted
inbound traffic and only allow
the applications and Internet
services you require to pass
traffic through. Firewalls can
also be used to control and
monitor outbound traffic. With
good fire walling it is easy to
block peer-to-peer file sharing,
instant messaging applications
and blacklist unwanted websites.
We can provide firewalls from
many leading manufacturers
including our own product.
*
Password Control
- It is important that
individual users on your network
have their own login username
and password. This enables you
to control file and folder
permissions for individual users
or departments. A strong
password policy is always
recommended, users should adopt
case sensitive and alphanumeric
passwords especially if you have
services such as webmail open to
the Internet.
*
UPS and Surge Protection
- Uninterruptible power
supplies provide backup power so
your server will have enough
time to shut down gracefully in
the event of a power cut. Power
failure could cause data loss or
corruption and may mean the
process of data recovery from
backup. UPS's and surge
protectors will defend against
power spikes and brown outs
which can seriously damage
computers and servers with a
cost rolling out at thousands
for replacement.
*
Virus and Spyware
- We can provide solutions to
protect your network from
unwanted threats. These
solutions can be installed on
local PCs and servers to monitor
threat activity and quickly deal
with it. The software has the
ability to update itself
silently over the Internet and
provide a centralized
server-based management console
to monitor threats and provide
reports. We can also provide our
own mail scanning solution
called InterLinx Filtered Email
to filter and clean Emails
before they even arrive at your
desk, this is done by routing
your inbound and outbound mail
through our secure scanning
servers on the Internet; this
ensures that both you and your
mail recipients are protected.
*
Redundancy
- Hard disks are the most
vulnerable part of any computer
or server today. Hard disks will
fail at some point and it is
advised to build in RAID
redundancy to servers for data
protection. RAID can include two
or more disks working together,
when a disk fails it can be
replaced without data loss or
corruption and the good disks
will re-copy their data back to
the new disk. Micro-Business
Maintenance can also provide
redundant servers and networking
infrastructure for when your
business cannot afford downtime.
*
Automated Backup
- Backups are the most important
part of your business network.
Viruses, employee errors, server
failures and corruption could
mean you need to restore from
backup to get critical services
up and running ASAP.
MBM
can provide different backup
solutions depending on company
size and quantity of data. Tape
backups are essential for every
network and we can also provide
offsite data backup for servers,
laptops and desktops to our
secure data centre in Manchester
with our own product.
Some laptops rarely get chance
to see the business network on a
connection adequate to backup
the files stored on them. Our
off-site backup solution can sit
silently on a laptop or
home/office PC and push files to
our data centre for backup
whenever an Internet connection
is available. Files can be
restored to new machines if
computer are stolen or fail.
*
Data Replication
- Your critical
business data can be replicated
in real-time off-site to our
secure data centre. Data is
replicated as it is changed, if
you head office or branch office
servers suffer a failure clients
can still access critical files
in the same way but their
request will be routed to the
replicated files until your
server is fixed.
Real
time data replication may not be
available for all types of
network. Please contact us to
discuss your specific
requirements.
