American Computer Services uses a 5 Step common-sense approach to design local and wide area networks (LANs and WANs), No matter what the size of your organization, addressing all your business IT needs. From the communications infrastructure to the end-user's desktop, we don't just install networks – we integrate them.

|
Step 1: Infrastructure |
We start by ensuring that your physical network wiring and infrastructure can withstand
ever increasing bandwidth demands. From data cabling and hubs, to wireless access
points, switches, routers and firewalls, we use only state of the art "open" network components
from leading vendors such as Cisco Systems.

|
Step 2: Servers |
Next, we leverage
Microsoft's Windows Server or
Small Business Server technologies to provide the basis of your organization's
local area network and corporate intranet. We provide a "turn-key" solution starting
with a server hardware platform from a leading supplier such as Dell, IBM
or Hewlett Packard. We can furnish
all necessary hardware and software and will recommend essential peripherals such
as network back-up and power protection. Our experience with integrating Microsoft
technologies is unsurpassed and of course, we integrate and test it all.

Step 3: Business Applications |
Then, we expertly layer selected business applications to provide your organization
the power it needs to succeed including:
Network file and printing services
Electronic mail
Web applications
Content management applications
Remote access (VPN)
Network backup

Step 4:
Desktop Workstations |
We also review and if necessary recommend upgrading or replacing your existing desktop
workstations to work with Windows XP Professional or Vista. We provide your employees a
"common desktop" by integrating your business applications such as
Microsoft Office, client applications (e.g., e-mail, anti-virus) and user login
profiles to provide both flexibility and security on each workstation. And we'll
make sure that all your non-PC (e.g., Mac) workstations work together as well.

Step 5: Ongoing Support
|
Finally, we provide the training and ongoing technical support
you need to keep your network running smoothly. We also offer additional information
technology services including network monitoring connectivity enterprise
consulting services.
