We provide networking and other data communications services such as networking
strategy, architecture, sourcing, assessments, network design, implementations
and operational support. We also configure and support current software and
firmware for servers, routers, switches, uninterruptable power supplies,
diagnostic tools and other data communications devices. |

Platform Architecture can range from enterprise-class mainframe-servers to
individual workstations and hand-held computing devices along with the operating
systems that control these devices. Platform Architecture categories include the
following:
|
|
|
Server
Servers with their associated operating systems provide services requested by
client devices. Types of servers included are: mainframes, midrange, and network
servers (application, file, print, database, etc.). Servers are often positioned
to deal with a variety of applications so that, over time, as open-standard
operating systems and open-standard interfaces are deployed, the traditional
boundary lines between voice, data, and video are eliminated. Technology
Engineers supports server-attached, or network-attached output devices such as
printers, plotters, etc., that use IEEE-standard interfaces and industry de
facto standard software drivers.
Storage
Storage is increasingly recognized as a separate and distinct resource, one that
is best thought of separately from the devices to which they are attached. Such
storage is often shared by multiple servers/end-user devices, and acquired and
managed independently from them. Technology Engineers supports many types of
storage devices including: |
|
|
|
Direct Attached Storage (DAS) -- comprised of
interfaces (controllers) and storage devices that attach directly to a server or
an end-user device. DAS, in the form of independent storage devices, RAID
arrays, or tape libraries, is the most common storage architecture today.
Network Attached Storage (NAS) -- an
open-industry-standard, file-oriented, storage implementation where storage
devices are connected to a network and provide file access services to server
and end-user devices. A NAS storage element consists of an engine, which
implements the file services, and one or more devices, on which data is stored.
By connecting directly into a network, NAS technologies allow users to access
and share data without impacting application servers.
Storage Area Network (SAN) -- an
open-industry-standard, data-centric, storage implementation that traditionally
uses a special-purpose network that incorporates high-performance communication
and interface technologies as a means to connect storage devices with servers.

End-User Device (Client)
End-user devices, with their associated operating systems, provide the end-user
interface to the business application. End-user devices include the personal
computer (PC), thin client, host-controlled devices (terminals, etc.), single-
and multi-function mobile devices (Pocket PC, PDA, PDA-phone, etc.) and smart
cards. “Personal” input devices (tablet, keyboard, probe, etc.) and output
devices (monitors, displays, projectors, speakers, printers, etc.) attached to
an end-user device should use IEEE-standard interfaces and industry de facto
standard software drivers. Technology Engineers supports many end-user and
personal digital devices. |
