NETWORKING
Quality IT support on a part time budget:
Many businesses outsource their computer staffing needs because they
don’t need a full-time computer support person. MindPride professionals act
as your staff members -- ready to assist and advise when you need help with
technology.
Detailed technical and activity records are maintained for your company.
You gain certified professionals familiar with your needs, while saving the
expense of a full-time technical staff.
Our networking engineers take care of all your
networking needs, be it setting up a network, its maintenance or
troubleshooting. Our network specialists can build and maintain large corporate
networks and Intranets flawlessly. We provide consulting in the appropriate
networking systems and topologies to employ and subsequently supply and install
the same. Our team can efficiently lay structured cabling and install cable
modems, routers, hubs, switches, VSATs etc. Along with delivering good quality
systems, it would be expected of us to provide timely maintenance, which ensures
minimum downtime, and we are glad to be doing a good job of it too. Even the

Privacy/Security services
Are you aware of all the different ways that private and potentially
sensitive data (such as email, credit card numbers, family data, etc.) can
be seen by other people you don't know or trust?
MindPride can do a
security assessment of your current network, PC applications, settings, and
habits, and recommend ways to keep private data private, while still getting
the benefits of networking and Internet access. As part of our standard
services, we can set up a firewall to protect your network against outside
intruders. We Offer:
Privacy/Security assessment
Firewall installation and configuration
Operating system and application configuration/settings
Establishing "best practices" for avoiding exposure of private data
Remote security testing of your network's integrity

FIREWALLING |
Security is
a very hot topic in today's world. Simple solutions are available for any
business, or domestic customer. We use NAT firewalls to lock down your PC's
from intrusion. Our technicians have tons of experience in network security.
We consult with ISP security technicians to stay on top of the latest
threats. Call us to talk about network security and the best plan for you.
NAT distributes
an IP address to each device on the network. Hook up a NAT router or
residential gateway to your cable or DSL modem and you're sharing the
connection. Another benefit of NAT is that it allows only one IP address to
be visible to the outside world. Hiding your LAN behind the router adds a
layer of security and also hides your PCs from your service provider.
NTCP
recommends, uses Linksys routers and switches to set up secure firewalls for
any user. You may have only the family PC, or the whole office to protect.
We can give you the peace of mind you need.
How
Firewalls Work |
Dos
and don'ts of professional cabling
-
Use fire
resistant cable for lowered (t-bar) ceilings
-
Don't
run cable within 1' of power sources
-
Don't
run cable with in 3' of florescent lights
-
Don't
use ties
-
Don't
stretch cable more then 25 pounds of pressure during installation
-
Don't
bend cable more then a 90 degree angle
Data Cabling that is not installed
to code and installed incorrectly may result in unreliable LAN connections,
lower bandwidth, slower connections, irregular networking problems and
workstation downtime.
The
rule for Data Cabling: Do it right the first time.
