Planning and consulting services which results in a disaster recovery plan document. The disaster recovery document incorporates re-establishing business after loss of computing systems, network and internet connectivity, office and datacenter facilities, etc.

An optional part of our NetAssure offering provides for system backup to not one, but two secure data centers. The backup software updates an image of your server every 15 minutes to a NAS (network area storage) device. Should you ever need to recover critical data, you can rest-assured knowing there is at least 90 days worth of data stored off-site in a secure fireproof environment. The image that is copied to the SAN device can actually be used as a virtual server should anything happen to your hardware. You can forget about tape backups, knowing that your critical data is secure even in the event of a catastrophic failure.

Firewalls:
Once connected to the Internet, your network must be protected from intrusion. Firewalls represent the best first line of defense. These devices control the type of Internet traffic that is allowed into your network as well as providing VPN capability, content filtering and control over web site access. But your firewall is only as effective as the person who con-figured it. At Bluebird Technologies we understand firewalls.

Virus Protection:
It's not a question of if you will be attacked by viruses, it's a question of when. We provide automated solutions to protect both servers and workstations from virus infection thereby ensuring network integrity.

Security Updating:
Software and hardware manufacturers are constantly releasing patches/fixes and firmware upgrades to provide protection against the ever present threat from hackers and intruders. We will keep you informed of these security updates and make sure they are implemented in your network environment when and where necessary.

Vulnerability Scanning:
This service provides a "hacker's eye view" of a network perimeter which includes public servers, routers, gateways and the remote side of VPN connections. A report is generated detailing security weaknesses and solutions on how to address these risks.

A VPN is a private network that's built within a public or shared IP structure -- the Internet. Through the Internet we can create secure private connections from home to office, LAN to LAN, mobile user to LAN, etc. This provides remote, traveling and telecommunicating workers access to central network resources like files, email, calendars and applications. A VPN is more flexible and less expensive than solutions based on dedicated private circuits.
