Networking
A solid, reliable networking system is critical for your company’s success.
Networking has been in existence in one form or another since ancient times. While we may not need to use smoke in the daytime and fires at night to send signals like they once did along the Great Wall of China, being able to communicate is still vital in today’s world. It is now in the form of computer networking within a business. Business networks can be anything from a simple setup to a very complex one with the impetus on designing the right networking system for today’s needs while making it scalable for future needs. At i-Tech Security and Network Solutions, we have two decades of experience with security and network solutions to ensure that your IT services are well suited to your specific needs.
Every business is different, so we take the time to learn all about where your business is now and where you plan for it to be in the future. We understand that the technology for networking is ever-changing, so we factor in scalability so your system can be upgraded when the time comes. We start by determining the purpose for your network and your budget so that we can choose the best hardware for your needs. We also factor in security which is an absolute must in today’s networking environment to keep your business data safe.
We don’t just set up your network go on our way. We continue to be supportive by providing ongoing IT services as you need them. This might include training, maintenance, or monitoring, for example, as well as email hosting, if desired. We will even create customized programs and solutions to fit your company’s needs.

Cloud Storage / Backup
Safely store and access critical business data.
Storing your business’ information on your office computers or a dedicated server is risky if this is the only location where you keep this data. Instead of relying on your physical devices to keep your business’ data safe and secure, let us at i-Tech Security and Network Solutions help you set up a Cloud storage / backup system for your organization.
There are many reasons why setting up a cloud storage / backup system for your business is a good idea, including the following:
- With cloud storage, your business gains access to a ton of storage space for a relatively low cost.
- If you have employees who work outside of your office, they will always have access to your business’ information from anywhere, as long as they have a reliable connection.
- You can rest easy knowing your data is protected in the event of a fire, flood, or another disaster.
- With cloud storage, you can easily share information with your clients and coworkers.
- As long as you have a cloud storage / backup system set up, you don’t have to worry about scheduling regular data backups, as this process is streamlined and automated.
- Any changes made to your business’ data by your employees or clients can instantaneously be seen by anyone else who has secure access to your information.
Cellular Routers
Reliable, consistent internet service comes through use of cellular routers.
Most businesses these days do quite a bit of their operations through the internet. Even if you also deal in a lot of inventory and other services, the majority of businesses require the internet for keeping safe and secure records, appointments, security and other uses. If you live in a place with spotty internet coverage, are worried about backups or have other internet concerns, then we here at i-Tech Security and Network Solutions would like to help you with cellular routers.
Cellular routers are not like regular Wi-fi or other internet services. Instead of using a router to disperse cable internet through the air, cellular routers use cellular towers to draw from cellular data networks, which gives you a more consistent and reliable internet connection. Especially when used in conjunction with other types of data and wireless internet sources, cellular routers are a great way to help ensure that your information is backed-up on a regular basis, has a strong signal, and allows you to complete your work quickly.
Indoor and Outdoor Wireless Networks
We understand the functional differences between indoor and outdoor wireless networks.
It is not uncommon for today’s companies to have staff working both inside and outside of the facility buildings. Being able to stay in communication with each other on a secure wireless network using tablets, cell phones, and laptops is critical. At i-Tech Security and Network Solutions, we have the expertise to build indoor and outdoor wireless networks that will give you the reliability, functionality, and security that your company requires.
It is a common misconception that there aren’t any functional differences between indoor and outdoor wireless networks. In reality, there are often many features that are most likely to be included in an outdoor wireless network that may or may not be included in an indoor one. For example, an outdoor wireless network might include high-power built-in amplifiers, support for the wireless distribution system, use of proprietary wireless bridging protocols, adjustments for longer round-trip data, and support for mesh schemes and 4.9 GHz band. Careful planning to reduce interference is also often necessary, although that can be of concern with both indoor and outdoor wireless networks.
Routers / Firewalls
It is important to look at routers / firewalls when setting up any business network.
At i-Tech Security and Network Solutions, one of the questions we most often get relates to understanding routers / firewalls and the relationship between them. Routers are an essential part of your network. If you don’t have one, you cannot browse the internet or send or receive mail. The type of router your company requires depends on how much traffic and information you’ll need to be able to manage.
Some routers have firewall capabilities that block unauthorized traffic. This would be an example of a hardware firewall, although it is not the only way to go. There are two types of hardware firewalls: internal firewalls and perimeter firewalls. In addition to hardware firewalls, many companies have software firewalls in place, although they are not as advantageous as hardware firewalls.
It is important to look at routers / firewalls when setting up any business network to be sure that you have the security you need to keep your data safe from hackers, computer viruses, spam, and other intrusions. An online presence is practically a necessity to conduct business these days, but it must be done properly to be effective, efficient, and safe.
Storage, NAS, SAN, DAS
We will help you understand what storage, NAS, SAN, DAS and other terminologies mean and how they affect your network decisions.
One of the things that few people opening a business think about is the complex nature of setting up a reliable, secure network. Any size business has to be concerned with the safety of their data and how it will be stored. At i-Tech Security and Network Solutions, we understand that few business owners understand the terminology, such as storage, NAS, SAN, DAS, and similar acronyms. The good news is that we are here to demystify all of it and guide you to put together the right network for your needs now with room for future growth. Let’s look at what each of these terms mean:
- Storage– This one is relatively easy to understand as it is the same as what you’d have on your smartphone or home computer. It relates to how much space you have to store data in your network, such as your accounting records, customer database, employee files, and more.
- NAS– NAS stands for Network Attached Storage. It is a system by which everyone on your network shares storage on your local area network. It is a standard network with certain file sharing protocols. It is most commonly used for companies that want a large amount of centralized storage available for many users. The disadvantages include limited scalability and low performance. It can also experience congestion during the backup process.
- SAN- SAN stands for Storage Area Network. This type of network works on blocks, rather than files like the NAS system does. It has more efficient storage utilization and a high degree of fault tolerance. It is also ideal for situations in which you need a great deal of storage and will be accessing it from multiple sources simultaneously. Backups and restorations are fast and efficient with an SAN, and it also offers dynamic scalability. The disadvantage is the cost may be more than a small company would want to invest.
- DAS– DAS stands for Direct Access Storage. This is a system that is used as the foundation for NAS and SAN. It is attached directly to a workstation or server. The storage type for this system is sectors. As such, it affords a dedicated storage resource. It is also a cost-effective solution and is the simplest to configure. However, by itself, it is ineffective as it is low performance, offers no storage consolidation or high availability, and cannot share data or unused resources efficiently.
Point-to-Point Wireless
Establish a Wi-Fi bridge between two separate locations with point-to-point wireless.
The simplest way to connect two separate locations using a wireless radio link, point-to-point wireless topology lets you connect two locations just a short distance apart to two locations miles away from each other. Within a point-to-point wireless system, the height of both Ethernet radio devices, the power level, environmental interference, and the frequency required affect the distance of the network.
In most cases, security, telecom, and networking applications use point-to-point wireless systems. To maximize performance, each wireless link usually remains in a clear line of sight with each other. At i-Tech Security and Network Solutions, we may recommend point-to-point wireless for the following applications:
- Lease line replacement when you cannot dig a fiber trench
- Difficult terrain that prevents you from successfully running cable
- You want to record live video via a CCTV feed
- You want to acquire data for agricultural analytics
- You do not want to dig up the ground to install fixed fiber lines
- To establish networking between two buildings
- To acquire internet connectivity at a temporary worksite
Our role in this process includes setting up the two wireless locations that will interact with each other, ensuring reliable, strong, and quick connectivity for the duration of your project or your long-term requirements. We ensure you receive the support and information you need to fully benefit from your point-to-point wireless system.
Server Sales and Support

Over simple networking, a centralized server offers many benefits to users and administrators that were once unavailable. These include centralized security, centralized virus and spyware management, file and print sharing, and data backup. Our server sales and support specialists at i-Tech Security and Network Solutions can design a network server dependent on a variety of variables, including user rights, security systems, files, databases, and more.
We offer many server options to meet your office’s requirements, and we offer a variety of support plans you can customize to meet the needs of your business.
