While network security helps to prevent outside threats from attacking your network, internal threats can be equally problematic for an organization. Network monitoring is a procedure used to examine and notify a network administrator of slow or failing components in a network. Monitoring involves an internal exploration for problems caused by overloaded and/or crashed servers, network connections, or other devices.

Potential malfunctions may be identified and corrected before they ever become a problem for you or your business when you have a network monitoring program in place. Golden Technologies highly recommends network monitoring to ensure that your business operations are running at peak efficiency and utilizing the full capacity of your network infrastructure.

Contact Golden Technologies to help you implement a network monitoring system for your organization today.

Starting with the millennium and followed by September 11, security has become a huge component in the information technology world. Most businesses, particularly the financial industry, are required to have IT security and procedures in place for yearly audits. The most common controls being audited are categorized as technical, physical, and administrative. During an audit, auditors search for procedures and activities that potentially reveal security risks as well as review the controls in place to diminish those risks. Furthermore, we have experience with Payment Card Industry Data Security (PCI DSS) and HIPPA compliance rules and can assist you throughout these types of audits as well.

Golden Technologies can help you prepare for security audits and implement policies and procedures that will prove to effectively keep personal information private. We also help ensure that proper backup of information is in place to prevent loss of data as well as minimize downtime.

Infrastructure is often viewed as everything that supports the flow and processing of information. It includes the hardware used to connect computers and users as well as the software used to send, receive, and manage communications that are transmitted. A network's infrastructure must not only meet the business requirements of today, but also anticipate future needs in a cost-effective manner. Whether it's improving an existing infrastructure or developing a new one from the ground up, our professionals will work with you to create a network customized for your specific needs.

We take the time to understand the business elements that drive your network decisions and evaluate existing frameworks. We have designed, implemented, and maintained large scale networks consisting of several thousand nodes spread across large geographic areas, as well as, the small networks comprised of a few workstations situated in a modest office space. We employ degreed engineers, industry professionals, and individuals that are all trained with years of actual "real world" experience in network development. We propose network options that support performance and application needs, consider the latest technology and standards for your business, and anticipate future growth plans.

Contact Golden Technologies to learn how we can improve your infrastructure and make your business more successful.

A virtual private network uses a shared public infrastructure, like the internet, to allow access to private information through security procedures. For instance, remote offices or individual users can securely access their organization's private network through a VPN connection. When comparing a VPN to owning or leasing private lines for an organization, an immediate cost benefit is realized.

Golden IT can help your organization take advantage of the cost savings and information accessibility that virtual private networks offer. Call us today to find out more.

Proxy servers can serve as a security measure for your organization, as well as, improve the speed with which you receive information from external networks. With a proxy server, you never actually connect to an outside network; rather, the proxy makes the connection and relays allowable content back to the internal network. Thus, a proxy server can act as a content filter or firewall protecting users from receiving information that is either not allowed or could cause harm to the system.

A proxy server speeds up access to the internet by caching (or archiving) pages that have been previously requested. The archives are more easily accessible than going back to the original web server destination. Proxy servers speed up file requests, reduce bandwidth, and ease the load on servers by only requesting updated or new materials that are not already stored in the cache.

Golden Technologies can set-up a proxy server for your organization so that you can experience the benefits of quicker internet access and less consumed bandwidth on your network. Contact us today.

A firewall is a barrier between the internet and a private network, helping to screen out malicious traffic before it reaches your computer or network. Based on rules that are configured, a firewall either permits or denies information from passing through to the private network. Firewalls protect from numerous threats including hackers, incoming viruses or worms, and sometimes outgoing traffic that may have originated from a virus.

There are various types of firewalls that can be installed: desktop, hardware, and commercial firewalls. Some firewalls also offer protection for telecommuter desktops and notebooks when they are used with residential lines or logging into hotel, airport, or public bandwidth. Golden Technologies can provide you with an appropriate firewall solution to suit your needs. Because we understand the importance of keeping private information safeguarded, we have even developed our own firewall platform, Golden NetGuard.

Spam and viruses are more than just an annoyance; they can cause serious damage to your network and data and potentially send out personal information. Golden MailGuard, a spam and virus scanning system, works by "scrubbing" your email before it gets to your mail servers.

End User Authority
On occasion, some email can be tagged as spam when it really is not. There is no need to worry as we will store the email on our system for up to 30 days and filter it in a spam folder, allowing the end user to be the ultimate authority in determining spam.

Individual Spam Controls
Golden MailGuard is not a "one size fits all" solution. Not only can you choose from four preset levels of protection, but you can completely customize the filters to suit your needs and manage your own whitelist and quarantine.

System Flexibility
Golden MailGuard works with any existing email system.

Content filtering is a technique that many organizations use to prevent or block users from viewing inappropriate or objectionable websites. Filtering is usually based on the analysis of the content only and not necessarily the source of the information or other criteria. When filtering content, rules regarding acceptable content are put into place and installed on individual computers or at a central point on an entire network. Depending on the sophistication of the content filtering system or software installed, it may be possible to give different levels of internet access to each individual user.

Golden IT can help you determine the type of content filtering system or software that is appropriate for you and your organization. We can implement the rules you have created and install the content filter at the end-user level or for an entire network of computers.

The right voice and data cabling can make all the difference in how well your network performs.

Whether you are upgrading an existing system or building a new infrastructure entirely, Golden Technologies works with you to ensure that your network operates at peak efficiency.

Point-of-Sale (POS) equipment usually refers to the hardware and software used for checkouts for places such as supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, and retail establishments. POS systems have evolved to handle multiple applications including credit card processing, gift card activation, age verification, employee time tracking, and even tableside food ordering. Furthermore, many systems include fully integrated accounting, inventory management, open to buy forecasting, customer relation management, service management, rental, and payroll modules.

Golden Technologies provides technical support for point of sales equipment and software. Whether you simply want to accept credit cards for payment or you are looking to track inventory, we can help you choose applicable software for your business needs alone or recommend a complete bundled solution with hardware devices as well.

We offer in-house and on-site service and repair (both commercial and residential) of computers and peripherals. Our technicians access problems remotely, on-site, or over the phone and determine the best course of action for resolution. If repairs to hardware are necessary, we have a lab facility allowing the technicians to solve most problems quickly and efficiently. If equipment is determined to be non-repairable, our technicians will work closely with our Business Development Department to get competitive pricing and order a replacement part in a timely and cost-effective manner.

In addition to repair services, Golden Technologies provides Procurement and Return Merchandise Services to our clients. We are able to handle everything, from equipment consultation, competitive pricing, and order tracking to delivery and installation of equipment.

With the advancements in technology and the growing number of companies offering flexible working schedules, remote office locations and telecommuting are increasingly more popular work alternatives. While working from home or in a branch office may be ideal situations for the employer and employee, remote workers often pose the biggest security risks as well as technological challenges. Golden Technologies provides services for setting up home or branch office locations while taking into consideration both network and security issues.

We can install a Virtual Private Network (VPN) so users can securely access their organization's private network as well as implement firewalls to protect both the remote user and business from malicious attacks. Additionally, we can explore bandwidth solutions to prevent poor application performance. We want to make sure that employees have the best access possible no matter where they are located without compromising security for the overall organization.

In today's business climate, we all have smart phones and we're all constantly on the go. The old 50-line phone systems with a receptionist directing calls... well they just don't cut it.

At Golden IT, we want to ensure that you've got the phone system that makes the most sense for your organization. Think bigger than you're probably thinking.

Perhaps we can install a phone system that knows when you're at your desk and routes calls accordingly. And, when you're not at your desk, calls come directly to your iPhone. Voicemails no longer mean a red blinking light, instead they come to you as emails or text messages. The possibilities are endless.

Lets sit down and talk about some ways to rethink phone systems and make that technology work for you.

Moving from one building to the next can be a massive undertaking. When you add in the miles of cables, the towers full of servers and power back-ups, and tons of phones and computers, the task looks overbearing.

Imagine a phone system that knows where you are. No, not the Orwellian kind, more like the efficiency-seeking kind. With a phone system tied to your network, the possibilities for telephony grow exponentially.

Setting your status on a simple chat program could completely change the way the phone behaves. A speech-to-text processor could turn voicemails stuck at your desk into emails or text messages. Call return times can improve drastically and unneccesary on-the-phone time could shrink quickly.

Golden Technologies provides data hosting and off-site backup services (check out the other tabs) for our clients. Not only do some industries require that client and corporate information be saved constantly and securely, but ALL companies should consider a backup solution for system malfunctions and user errors. You never know when you will need to have access to your most valuable business-critical information. Our data hosting is an easy process to set-up and, more importantly, it is reliable. Plus, you can utilize our data hosting as a way to back-up information that needs to be archived.

But Golden Tech won't ever sell you something just to sell it. We pride ourselves on creating solutions that make your company more efficient. If a state-of-the-art telepresence system isn't going to do that, we'll never recommend it.

Lets sit down in that cluttered old conference room, roll up our sleeves, and get workin'.

Cliche alert: The world of business is a flat one. Doing business nationally is just the price of doing business, period. That said, it takes some adjusting and a lot of great new technologies to ensure that nationwide business never feels... well... nationwide.

Telepresence is one of those 10-cent business words. But, if used correctly it can mean a world of difference for your relationships with team members and clients outside of arms reach. The conference call just doesn't get it done when trying to start up and maintain relationships with anyone. Toss a high-definition video on the wall and crisp audio and things feel a lot more intimate. Lets meet--in person--and talk about how we're going to meet in video conference next time, eh?
