Network Administration

Network Administration consists of maintaining the health of a network's infrastructure. This includes ensuring that computing resources can communicate with each other, both locally and across the country. It encompasses several main components: the physical wiring, network protocols (TCP/IP), and network hardware (routers, switches).

Physical Hardware

Before computers can even be configured on a network, a physical connection must be installed. Whether this is through a system of wires, or even via wireless connections, some basic underpinings are required. Santore Enterprises can specify your system needs. We can help design a physical wiring system (including a patch panel and network closet), determine which pieces of hardware are necessary (switches, wireless transceiver) and get them up and running.

Local Area Networks, or LANs

Even the smallest enterprise can benefit from connecting office machines, enabling access not only to shared files but also to printers and other peripherals. Our firm can handle tasks as simple as setting up a new computer to see existing network resources, or as involved as setting up subnets or VLANs to segment off local traffic.

Wide Area Networks, or WANs

In this day and age, it is not uncommon to find companies working from multiple locations or remote sites. WANs can serve to connect these geographically disparate resources. Santore Enterprises can help you determine the most efficient way to connect these resources securely.

Internet Access

Many companies consider Internet access a critical factor in conducting business. This access is available by way of several different technologies, and we can help find the right one for your needs. Our firm can also help you utilize your Internet connection by setting up email, web server, or FTP servers.

VPN

Employees who travel often need to dial up to the home office to access email, files or other important information. If you need help setting up this or any other instance of having remote sites connect securely to your location, Santore Enterprises can help.

Security

Security is a concern for most companies in today’s business environment. Our firm understands your concerns, and can help you find the solution that is best for you. We will set up firewalls, evaluate current vulnerabilities, and lock down secure information.

Performance and Capacity

Like systems, networks also need to be optimized as usage patterns change. Santore Enterprises will evaluate your system to determine if your network settings need to be adjusted, if the issue is on an individual computer level, or if you need to reconfigure your network to enable more capacity or throughput.

Network Design

Whether you are opening a new office or implementing a new application, our firm will ensure that you have the infrastructure to allow you to access the resources you need.
