Managed Services:
A managed service provider
provides delivery and management
of network-based services,
applications, and equipment to
enterprises, residences, or other
service providers. Managed service
providers offer a service level that
can include fully outsourced network
management arrangements, including
advanced features like IP telephony,
messaging and call center, virtual
private network (VPNs), managed
firewalls, and monitoring/reporting of
network servers. Most of these services
can be performed from outside your
internal network with a special emphasis
placed on integration and certification of
Internet security for applications and
content. Managed Service Providers
serve as outsourcing agents for
companies that don't typically have
the resources to constantly upgrade
or maintain their computing networks.

and equipment to prevent unwanted outside and/or inside attacks on
your data to your our your customers.
Network Analysis and Service: Before any changes are made to a
computing system, the current system must be inspected to develop a
picture of its overall health. Installing new network components,
updating server operating systems, and moving services can easily
overwhelm or break an existing system if an impact analysis is not
done first. This Network Analysis requires a good working knowledge
of the current system, a current performance baseline, and an
awareness of the system's limits. With this information, there is the
ability to investigate, plan, and execute changes to meet the needs of
current management.
