Let us build you a secure yet inexpensive Internet-ready server!
Most of the work we perform is based on the
FreeBSD operating system, which is
derived from BSD UNIX. BSD maintains a long heritage as one of the oldest
and most stable Internet operating system platforms, and it is able to run
quite effectively on commodity PC hardware.
In a time when many companies are discarding old Pentium and even Pentium II
machines in search of faster Windows performance, it is worth noting that
these machines make ideal servers for things such as
Internet mail (SMTP),
Web servers (HTTP),
Usenet news (NNTP),
domain name servers (DNS),
DHCP servers,
timekeepers (NTP),
Web caching and acceleration (ICP),
and a wide variety of other assorted server needs.
We specialize in providing robust, highly secured systems to provide any of
the above needs. The Internet is a demanding and dangerous place, and we
can help minimize your risk in connecting to the Internet by providing the
operating system and application know-how to build highly secure solutions
for most applications.
We can often take your old equipment and transform it to a new, useful
function. We periodically have older machines for sale, as well, which are
proven hard workers from our own server environment. We are also, of course,
willing and able to create a server out of new hardware, although we usually
find that clients have an old machine that is more suitable for a
transformation.
Among our core services, we do offer server maintenance and remote monitoring
as strongly recommended options for all clients. No software package is
completely secure or bug-free, and we routinely monitor a variety of
Internet vulnerability reporting sites for the latest potential security
problems. Remote administration and maintenance can even allow us to perform
many tasks without an on-site visit!
Our systems come, by default, with a time-tested IP packet firewall, in
addition to a heavily secured base FreeBSD installation, and careful
architecting of the desired application(s) to ensure a very low risk
profile in your Internet environment.
We can also
perform security audits of your other systems,
implement custom programming solutions for unique problems,
design and deploy IP based networks and routers, and
advise on the design and implementation of DMZ firewall solutions and related issues. We are
experienced in the design and implementation of data centers, too!
