Computer & Communication Networks
Small Business Networks:
This model is ideal for small businesses with 2 to 50 network workstations and allows users to share files, printers and other resources including the Internet. We plan and install simple to manage client-server or peer-to-peer systems for small networks, making them easy to use and maintain, as well as very economical since they typically allow us to take maximum advantage of existing computers, printers, and other resources.
Larger Business Networks:
AST offers a wide variety of network services for businesses with 50 or more workstations. We can service your complex business communications and information needs by providing LAN, WAN, VLAN, VPN, Internet and intranet solutions that enable the company to share information and resources in its office and across multiple locations. We offer digital and physical computer security-consulting services, security assessments, managed security services, managed security monitoring, forensic computer examinations, router and firewall configuration, and Intrusion Detection Systems.
Enterprise Networks:
With our best in class alliance partners, AST offers experienced network engineers and architects to design and implement complex yet manageable multi-location converged gigabit and higher network configurations. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that over ninety-seven percent of the fiber optic cable installed during the “DotCom” frenzy is unused. This “dark fiber” offers data, voice and video communications infrastructure at bargain prices. Competition in the communications industry is intense. We offer resource assessment, network design, implementation, support and maintenance.
E-commerce Networks:
In addition to the services above, we design and implement systems that enable you to interface with vendors and customers over the Internet, providing solutions to help your business grow and expand its target markets. We build highly secure application, Internet and email servers. Additionally, we offer solutions to e-commerce security issues that must be correctly addressed to limit or eliminate the organization’s exposure to financial loss.
