Technology Stack
Info
In the inherently complex domain of technology and information systems, find out what works and keep repeating it.
When we build a business class technology infrastructure, we use the same set of products and services every time. This collection of products and services is called our technology stack.
The technology stack is made up of several categories of items:
- workstation computers
- servers (vm)
- firewalls
- IP phones
- paging adapters
- switches
- wireless access points
- Internet circuits
- efax
- email systems
- printers
- scanners
- laptops
- antivirus antimalware software
- productivity software
- cloud backup software
- disk encryption software
The items we use are in the class of those intended for enterprise environments. Many of these items cannot be purchased locally at any of the common big box stores.
Info
The use of enterprise class equipment brings enterprise class reliability to small and medium sized businesses.
Some of the specific items in our technology stack are:
| Classification | Vendor |
|---|---|
| Networking: | Cisco Meraki |
| Workstations: | Dell OptiPlex |
| Servers: | Microsoft Azure |
| Email: | Google Workspace |
| Email: | Microsoft 365 |
| Printers: | Lexmark Mx/Cx Series |
| UCaaS: | RingCentral Office |
| Internet Circuits | AT&T symmetric fiber optic |
The use of a well-defined and thin technology stack is beneficial to you, the client. Why?
Important
Because the path to success is via standardization, not customization.
Consider the fact that for every product we use, there must be training, documentation, and depth of experience in order to achieve a reliable and predictable outcome. That is only possible with a short list of carefully chosen high quality items that have been mastered.
We will build IT systems for your business that will work properly, and we will stand behind them for the long term.
