Information Technology Services
Problems with your Microsoft exchange Servers, SQL Servers, or Domain controllers are common across all industries.

Exchange and other enterprise solutions can be incredibly complex to install & maintain. In many cases, it is necessary to employ an entire staff of individuals to deploy and maintain these solutions. Finding and retaining qualified individuals to manage these servers can become very time consuming.

Unfortunately, while you search for a new Systems Administrator, your users may experience difficulties. They may complain about network performance, inoperable internet connections, or accidentally delete files that were not backed up, and are unrecoverable. Your whole network is extremely delicate and dependent on many variables; when something goes wrong, the whole network may fail, thereby negatively impacting your business.

Area Networks has the resources available to eliminate these problems, while lowering operational expenses. We can manage these complex services and servers for you. Our experienced professional staff can manage:

Day-to-Day Server Operations Installation & Upgrades Backups Disaster Recovery Performance Tuning Network Security LAN & WAN Networking Internet Access

Customized Solutions
We can design an application around your company's business model, rather than trying to adapt your business to conform to an "off the shelf" software package. We listen to you, and understand how your operations work, and then devise a solution that is exclusively for you. If you are expanding or modifying your network environment, our network architects and engineers can also assist you in developing the right configuration for your business.

When you have a question or a problem, you want help, but when things are running smoothly, you don't want to incur unnecessary costs. We make sure our specialists assist you only when you need them. To employ a full staff of individuals can have a significant impact on your company's budget. We provide our professionals to you on an as needed basis so you don't have to pay unnecessary salaries and benefits. The overall savings can make a big difference.

We recognize your situation and company are unique, and we have a diverse team of professionals on our staff to address your needs. Our Help Desk has the finest Systems Administrators and our Information Systems Department has top notch System Engineers & Network Engineers trained in HP, Microsoft and Cisco technologies. Our developers are all trained in the latest Microsoft technologies: VB, ASP.NET, and SQL. Many of today's newest applications are being written for web instead of the old client server models. If you have a legacy client server application, we have the technology to "web-enable" it. Even the old "green screen" hosted applications can now take advantage of a web browser's graphical user interfaces.

In today's society, change is constant. It may be impossible to predict the skill set you will need to have on hand. Our team is trained to use the latest technologies to help you achieve your goals. Our team of specialists has a diverse skill set, and the most up-to-date training. We make sure they have the skills you need, whenever you need them.

Our Facility
Do you have servers in your environment that deploy mission-critical applications? What happens when they go down or can't communicate with other components within the critical infrastructure? Everything is impacted. Supply-chain suffers. Order-taking suffers. Manufacturing suffers. The bottom-line suffers. Area Networks is well equipped to handle these issues. We can bring your servers into our secure, world-class data center, or you can keep them at your facility, and we can manage them remotely. Either way, we keep your business running. Our Networks Operations Center (NOC) is a state-of-the-art facility with auxiliary support systems. Our redundant computer room air conditioning systems (CRACs) ensure that the room temperature will never fluctuate from the optimal level. We also have redundant UPS battery backup systems on site, and a secondary power support that is supplied to the Data Center by a closed cooled diesel generator that, if needed, can be converted to natural gas.
