Storage Solutions

Starting at under $1400, our storage solutions allow small to midsize buisnesses flexibly add storage to their network in 500GB chunks. Supported protocols include iSCSI (for building storage area networks), OpenAFS, Samba (for sharing the files to Windows), and NFS. Storage is redundant by default (allowing each unit to store to nearly 1 TB of data provided that information loss is not considered problematic).

We also offer special backup servers for under $1200. These servers support the above protocols but use smaller (200GB) non-redundant external USB drives so that the drives can be alternated and stored off site.

Information Management Solutions

Starting at under $800, our small to midsize buisness information management solutions combine accounting, some basic ERP functionality, and more in a easy to manage appliance. These systems contain redundant hardware, allowing operations to continue when certain hardware fails.

These systems include:

• PostgreSQL: The Worlds Most Advanced Open Source Database
• Apache: The Industry Leading Webserver
• LedgerSMB: An accounting program with some ERP functionality.

Many options are available for these servers. Please contact us for a quote or see our whitepaper on this product.

Firewall Solutions

Our Barbican line of products offer professionally managed, robust firewalls for your security management. These full-featured firewalls will provide your business peace of mind. Our professional services can help you rest assured that your information is safe.

But it does not stop there. Our systems are based on open standards, including Red Hat Fedora Linux(tm). They come with free software updates for the life of the product, free community-based support, and robust solutions following industry standard best practices regarding security. These solutions put you in control of your information security, while allowing you to partner with us to the extent you wish.

It is often said that "security is a process, not a product." Our firewalls provide the administrative interfaces to ensure that this process is as manageable and as transparent as possible. Additionally, our firewalls can be used for purposes ranging from simple packet filtering to policy-based routing, traffic shaping, and virtual private networking, and their modular and open design allows any other capabilities to be added as necessary. The combination of ourfirewall products and security services will help you keep your information safe, available, and useful.

Point of Sale Solutions

We offer point of sale solutions based on Linux and SQL-Ledger(tm). We are able to offer inexpensive professional environments which your business will never outgrow. The software is based entirely on Free/Open Source software and can easily be customized to suit your needs as your business grows.

We recommend SQL-Ledger for a number of reasons. First, it is based on solid technology and open systems. This means that if your business needs to go from two cash registers to two hundred, the same software will handle the load without risking your data. Additionally, custom functionality can be added as needed without a great deal of work. This allows your business practices to determine how the software is used rather than the other way around.

Telephony Solutions

We offer custom-build PBX solutions based on Linux and Asterisk. This combination can handle standard analog telephones, digital ISDN telephones, ADSI phones, and a number of VOIP technologies. Such a PBX can be used, not only to connect two telephones, but to connect your telephones with your computer network as well. CRM solutions can be integrated, and custom functionality can easily be added.

We can help guide you through the process of building your telephone network from start to finish, providing the hardware and software, helping your business select the type and number of telephone lines (for example, describing the difference between a T1 and a PRI), helping plan for capacity and choose appropriate hardware, and more. Telephone systems are expensive, and they are some of the most critical systems in your business. Make sure your telephone system is implimented right.
