Network Switches, Routers and Firewall Management

Your office, workplace, store, or facility is increasingly dependent upon connected infrastructure. Numbers of devices that ride on wired and wireless network are ever increasing and new applications are adding traffic on the network. Complexity is added by video, security, and telephone traffic. Legacy applications use little bandwidth, but they are still business critical. Many users experience random slowness which indirectly costs more than having one of Easy Server Management subscription services. Our services will analyze your network and manage your edge and core devices for configuration, security, and optimization.

  • DETAILS
  • Do you know if your network devices are vulnerable to intrusion?
  • Do you know if the access to your network devices from outside is turned off or on?
  • Do you know settings in your switches, routers and network appliances are optimum and adequate resources are available at peak time?
  • Are your network devices patched up to the latest version of released software?
  • Are you taking advantage of all features of your network devices to secure your network and prevent attacks and intrusions?

If you know the answers to all these questions, you are probably a savvy network administrator. However, even most savvy administrators sometimes fall behind in these ongoing tasks due to lack of time. In many small or medium size businesses, usually there are not enough ongoing tasks or spare test environment for testing the network layer. Thus, IT staff often falls behind on the routine network device maintenance. Our full service package is for businesses users and service providers who either does not want to become an expert at securing and updating network, or does not have time to do all the routine tasks. With this complete administration package, we take away this responsibility, free you up to do what you do best…run your business. With a full service package for each device, you can leave the hassles of administration to us. Each of our engineers has certifications and 4-10 years of experience managing network in production environment. With this highly skilled technical staff, we provide professional yet affordable network administration and monitoring services.

We manage all network switches routers and firewalls for all routine and not so routine tasks. Firewalls are meant to secure your internal network and your servers that are meant to serve your customers. Often their own security is at risk. Similarly, other network components are often the initial targets of intruders.
Easy Server Management staff makes sure that all your network devices are healthy, error free, configured to be utilized to their maximum potential and most importantly, secure.
