Systems Integration

Implementation of the design is the next step in the solution process. The main objective is to share computer resources such as file servers, printers, and communications devices. A LAN connects devices so that they may be shared among a group of users within a workgroup, department, building or campus. Not sharing these resources is generally an expensive strategic mistake. The network is a simple medium used by devices to make communications and resource sharing possible. The WAN interconnects LANs either locally, nationwide or worldwide to exchange information. By optimizing your IT environment, you will gain faster, easier access to information and services, thus reducing your administration costs and focusing on profits. A network also allows a central point of administration and security, thus reducing running costs.

Connectivity

Internet connectivity has evolved into a lifeline for day-to-day operations of businesses and
individuals. Rockhopper.Tech will review your needs, offer recommendations, and implement the
solution from start to finish. Our consultants are trained and certified to install these types of technologies.
Remote Connectivity
One of the main target groups consists of corporations whose outside staff requires access to data from company headquarters while on the road. The increasing popularity of alternative forms of employment (such as telecommuting, or working from a home office) opens up another escalating market of potential remote access users.
Increasing reliance on corporate networks and the proliferation of high-speed Internet connectivity make
Virtual Private Networking the logical choice for secure, scalable remote access.
Virtual Private Networking (VPN) is a secure communication over the Internet that allows remote employees and business partners to securely access their corporate network. VPN technology works in conjunction with firewalls and the global Internet infrastructure to provide a dedicated secure communication channel between networked computers.
Remote controlis another type of remote access in which the software literally controls a workstation in the office. This office workstation performs all processing functions while the remote control software sends screenshots back to the user.
a Terminal Serversolution complements a VPN solution. Since the Terminal Server session runs locally on the server, application performance is outstanding. A Terminal Server session uses a special protocol and is encrypted to ensure security. In a terminal Server scenario, no data crosses the wire - only screen updates are sent to the remote client.
Web based applicationsmaximize remote efficiency. Rockhopper Techbuilds these for the user, who simply needs internet access with a web browser and can have full remote access to the specific applications and files.

Security

Security is a very difficult topic. Everyone has a different idea of what "security’’ is and what levels of
risk are acceptable. The key for building a secure network is to define what security means to your
organization.Once that has been defined, everything that goes on with the network can be evaluated with respect to that policy. Projects and systems can then be broken down into their components, and it becomes much simpler to decide whether what is proposed will conflict with your security policies and practices.
Network security consists of two main avenues: Internal and External
Internal Security measures:

Hierarchy of Permissions implemented in Operating System
Internal network configuration
Network traffic security software
Security Features in Server and Workstations software
Data Structure

External Security measures:

Firewalls
Internet filtering software
Special router configuration
Internal Network configuration
Virus Protection

Internal Network Security software.
This software performs a complete security analysis of Windows® and UNIX® Sun™ Solaris™ / RedHat™ Linux® resources. Enables users to accurately identify and eliminate network security deficiencies that can allow hacker intrusion. A major part of network intrusions is caused by internal employees. What is a Firewall? A firewall is a system that enforces an access control policy between two networks. It blocks traffic and it permits traffic. A firewall’s purpose is to keep intruders out of your network while still allowing you to get your job done. A firewall provides not only real security - it often plays an important role as a security blanket for management. A firewall can be configured to permit only e-mail traffic to pass, or it can provide less stringent protection, blocking services that are known to be problems. What is Internet filtering software?
This software enables administrators to monitor, filter, control and manage employees’ Internet access. By controlling employees’ access, productivity will increase, network speeds will perform more efficiently, Internet bandwidth will increase or will not bog down unnecessarily.
