One of our main specialist areas revolve around consulting, supporting and deploying network solutions. The scale of these solutions can range between SOHO to Medium Enterprises.

SOHO Solutions:
Deployment of simple Server/Workstation(s) environments, enabling you to centralise your data for sharing and organisational purposes. Configuring automated backups to minimise the effects of data loss by providing removable copies of vital data, preparing you for a worst-case scenario and seamlessly bringing your workplace back online with minimal downtime.

Small/Medium Enterprise:
VPNs - Virtual Private Networks
Inter-connecting multiple offices/shops using VPN Technology can provide an inexpensive means of sharing resources as though each office was connected directly to the other. This provides a means of centralising data on a larger scale, preserving the imperative benefits of data organisation and backup. Nightly backups from your primary server to a secondary computer can allow you to continue to work even if the server goes down./

Network segmentation:
Segmenting your network means dividing bandwidth into departments or areas. This prevents all workstations competing for network bandwidth when utilising un-related resources. Not only does this increase the availability and efficiency of your network, but provides a level of network scalability - your network is ready to grow with your business.

Shadow Security can provide clients with a number of different options to implement the benefits of Network Technology and to increase the efficiency and availability of their resources. E-mail us for information, or to organise for a consultant to assess and advise networking options tailored to your needs.

The implementation of a server computer into an office environment can significantly ease the organisation of data, which will greatly improve functionality and efficiency of I.T. functions within any workplace.

By centralising data into a specific location uniforms the flow of network traffic which eases the management of bandwidth control. Additionally, backing up files which are located all across a network can quickly turn into an administrative nightmare - by storing data on a server backups can be scheduled to run as often as required and managed with a 'set and forget' ideology.

Technicians at Shadow Security can implement server solutions for databases with SQL backends for any company utilising software designed to work with this market dominating database language.

E-mail Us for advice on Microsoft Windows-based server implementations and how they can benefit you. We can send a technician out to assess your network and customise a solution for your needs.

Due to our focus on I.T. Security - Shadow Security specialise in the implementation and maintenance of Linux/BSD Based network servers. Our preferred Operating Systems for these solutions are OpenBSD and FreeBSD (depending on the role of the server). Some of the main advantages of a Linux of BSD-Based server over Microsft Windows solutions range from security, stability, scalability and efficiency.

We can configure a BSD-Based server to cater for most networking needs, building solutions such as:

• File Servers
• Web Servers
• Mail Servers
• Authentication Servers
• Backup Servers
• Domain Name Servers (Authoritative and/or Caching)
• Firewall/Routers
• Network Logging Servers
• Domain Controllers for Windows networks

Any (or a combination) of these can be implemented into your network to provide instant benefits to your functionality, security and proffesionalism. E-mail Us for more information or to organise a technician to assess your current network and advise a solution to match your needs.

Computer System and Network Security is the main focus of services offered at Shadow Security. Security is becoming a larger concern to any company utilising computers in their day to day business. We can assist in deployment of company-wide security policies and help users to adhere to these while maintaining an acceptable level of functionality. Services ranging from general security updates on Microsoft Windows Workstations, Servers, Laptops; Linux/BSD-Based Security Maintenance and ongoing assessment.

In today's I.T. Industry it is imperative to maintain strong defenses at the border of your network and to maintain the defenses. "Security" is not a state which is "achieved", moreso a state to continue pursuing. We can organise a Security Maintenance Schedule to help ensure you reach a state of acceptable security and stay there.

Tasks involved in such maintenance can include:

• Operating System Updates and Patches
• Analysis of firewall logs and (if required) re-assesment of policies and rules
• Firmware upgrades to Hardware Security Devices
