Network Infrastructure

There are many choices when it comes to building a robust and secure network.  Jupiter-Gemini Consulting can assist you throughout the entire process – from assessing your current and future needs to implementing a future-proof design.

Assessment – If you were trying to get directions from Point A to Point B it would be critical to understand exactly where Point A was before you consulted a map.  It’s no different when planning your technology roadmap.  Understanding where you are with respect to your current infrastructure, remote sites, subnets and virtual LAN’s plays an important role in planning a design that can scale with your growth projections and get you to Point B.  Let us assist you in mapping out your current IT architectural position and future network infrastructure design.

Design & Architecture – Convergence has blurred the perimeter of the network as more and more enterprises take advantage of switched versus routed networks.  The availability of higher bandwidths and predictability of traffic patterns have led many organizations to move to a simpler design based on Layer 3 switching and site-to-site VPNs.  The new best practice is to replace shared networks with switched at every opportunity and to deliver dedicated pipes to every user.  The end result in cost savings and the enhanced ability to securely deliver data, voice and video throughout the network is worth a discussion.  Jupiter-Gemini can show you why more and more organizations are taking the next step to realize the cost savings associated with a next generation network design.

Configuration & Implementation – Have you been waiting to implement a new switch, perimeter security appliance or VPN gateway because you just don’t have enough time?  As IT organizations continue to shrink and the workload continues to increase we continuously hear from our customers that lack of time is the number one issue preventing them from deploying new network components.  If your situation is no different, let Jupiter-Gemini act as your extended IT department.  Our trained professionals work with your staff to discuss the configuration, testing and implementation of your network infrastructure components.  We can also provide administrator training and on-going proactive management in cases where our customers need to augment their current staff or at remote locations where staff is not available.  Contact us today to discuss how we may be of service in any or all aspects of your next new installation, upgrade or management of existing network infrastructure.

Remote Access – Remote access used to be reserved for traveling company executives and a few trusted business-to-business (B2B) customers.  The reality today is nearly every organization has a requirement for remote access across a broad spectrum of both internal and external customers.  Whether you’re thinking about deploying a dedicated SSL or IPSec VPN gateway or leveraging existing VPN capabilities or your perimeter security device, Jupiter-Gemini has been working with VPN’s for over ten years.  Let us assist you with product recommendations based on your needs.  We can also provide expertise in developing your remote access policies or even configuring your remote access connections to work in conjunction with third-party strong authentication mechanisms.  Don’t get confused about all the options available when it comes to implementing remote access.  Let Jupiter-Gemini provide your organization with viable options that meet your business needs today and tomorrow without breaking the bank.
