Infrastructure Services

Our set of Infrastructure Services is designed to enable competitive advantage through the thoughtful evolution of your IT environment into an enterprise infrastructure environment. While we often complete individual projects for our clients (i.e., upgrading their email to the latest version of Microsoft Exchange Server), the bigger picture involves the thoughtful evolution of their IT environment to an enterprise-wide foundation that enables business applications and supports business processes.

Contact us today for an assessment of your infrastructure environment. We can help you understand what you have, define your goals and priorities, and develop a plan for moving you forward. Our most common Infrastructure Services include the following:

Anywhere Access
Anywhere access technologies are evolving quickly to meet the demands of our highly mobile society. Within corporations, branch offices, and home offices as well as on the road, your employees need access to mission-critical applications, services, and data from just about anywhere at any time. C2 designs enterprise accessibility strategies that enable workers, ensure productivity, and control costs with both policies and tools.

Assessment
Oftentimes, after years of responding to immediate needs, IT Managers are left trying to support a disparate collection of servers and devices running all kinds of applications necessitating various versions of operating systems, databases, and other software. Through our IT Assessment, we'll guide you through a process of stepping back and gaining the big picture perspective that is so critical to building a network infrastructure that best supports the company.

Authorization & User Management
End-users don't want to remember multiple userids and passwords anymore than your IT staff wants to manage various categories of users over dozens of different systems. An effective user management strategy makes end-users happier, cuts down the tedium of manual user management, and, maybe more importantly, can improve the security of your IT environment.

Business Continuity
What is the cost of your system being down for an hour? A day? What would you do if you lost your data? What do you tell your kids when you have to spend the weekend restoring the network? High availability architectures, business continuity planning, and disaster recovery -- Three essential components in minimizing your chance of having to find out the answers to these questions first-hand.

Platform Lifecycle Management
Platform Lifecycle Management is one more way you can help your IT department and your company run more efficiently. Particularly with servers and desktops/laptops, a proactive lifecycle management approach to keeping track of aging hardware and software will help you anticipate change, control costs, and plan for budgetary expenses. Stricter regulatory compliance requirements, mounting security concerns, and demands for clear return on IT investment all make Platform Lifecycle Management the right solution for gaining control of your infrastructure, the demands on your IT staff, and your expenses.

Security
Everyone wants a secure IT environment but what does "secure" really mean? And how do you achieve it? "Security" is a very broad term that must be addressed at both the hardware and software levels as well as through policies and procedures for IT staff, employees, and even for your customers. As business technology consultants, it's our job to make sure that all work we do has a focus on security. We also have infrastructure services aimed specifically at helping companies optimize their IT security.
