Allow us to navigate through the IT complexities and help your business reach its full potential.
Identity Management
Your employees are your most valuable asset. Your data is your second most valuable asset. Ensuring that only your employees can access and manipulate your company’s data is vital to both the security and profitability of your business. Ensuring only those with appropriate permissions can see proprietary data is a mission not everyone can accomplish. Even with firewalls, identities can be compromised, and managing access privileges can become tricky.
Advanced Office Systems (AOS) can create digital IDs for your employees that are easily tracked and monitored, ensuring maximum security. Identity management services are used to protect your digital assets, but most products consist of inundating your employees with passwords, tokens, and authentication requirements. At AOS, we combat this issue by guaranteeing absolute ID confirmation, using multifactor identification. When your company uses Multifactor Authentication (MFA), your employees will have fewer tokens to carry and passwords to remember. AOS is a one-stop shop for access to data, and an unmatched level of protection.
Server Infrastructure and Datacenter Design
The datacenter is the heartbeat of your company. With the ever-growing reliance on Big Data, you need one that is reliable, secure, and up-to-date, but it also has to have the latest protective software and technology. Most companies still have onsite data infrastructures, and many of them are also using inefficient or outdated systems.
AOS’ engineers understand the intricacies of physical servers, and how to upgrade, fix, and improve their functionality. If you’ve outgrown your current network, we can help you add capacity, or build an entirely new system. We will analyze your current data issues and recommend, design, and implement datacenter solutions, either virtual or physical, so you can choose what works best for your business.
Virtualization Integration and Recovery
Virtualization solutions combine software and hardware engineering, and they also transform the way servers are used. There is no longer a need for enormous rooms of tall black cabinets in every office. Now, you can have a virtual room that houses all your data. You can also have physical equipment, either offsite or in the cloud. Virtual servers are preferred because they can surpass the limits of physical servers in capacity, computational workload, and even in power consumption. We will also integrate any email platform, to store everything in the cloud. Never lose an attachment again! From Office 365 to Google to Zimbra, all digital communication can be integrated and stored.
Backup, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
AOS can also create and maintain your backup schedule and verify that it is set up correctly and functioning properly. No more ambiguity around where files are. We will create a matrix for you to see exactly where, and how, everything is stored. Every backup needs a backup, so we will establish a failsafe, ensuring there is never any question about the reliability of your plan.
With our partners at Datto and StorageCraft, AOS provides Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity using the latest backup appliances and technology. Onsite backup server virtualization and Secure Cloud server virtualizations provide rapid recovery from disaster when hardware fails, data becomes corrupt, or access to the building has been compromised. All this is managed, monitored, and remediated by the technology and team at AOS.
Connectivity Maintenance and Contract Reviews
Staying connected to your customers, employees, and business partners is vital during office moves, datacenter migrations, and cloud migrations. AOS will help you assess what is needed for a smooth transition. Your systems and devices won’t lose a minute of connectivity, and they will all be able to access the network without issues. We can also help you negotiate the best rate with your internet service provider (ISP) to be sure you are paying only for services you need for your business. We’ll help your company stay connected to the world while reducing costs.
