One
of our objectives here at PanamaCOM is to present to small and big
companies alike a viable and more cost-effective alternative for
the implementation of complete corporate network systems (Intranet,
Extranet and Internet). The "secret" is that we use do not use commercial
operating systems, which cost thousands of dollars and generally
do not provide a complete solution (unless you are willing to invest
more).
Nowadays, Linux
is one of the fastest growing operating systems available. It is
stable, fast, secure, and perhaps best of all, it is free. That
is, is has no licensing costs. This is hard for many people to understand,
especially for those who grew up under the old addages of "you get
what you pay for" and "there are no free lunches." However, Linux
is quite different.
PanamaCOM has years of
experience in the installation of corporate networks, intranets, and
extranets using Linux.
Every client is different, and we must have the ability to adapt
to different needs, operating systems, accounting programs, databases,
etc. The list below will give you a general idea of what
we can do for your company with Linux.
Migration to Linux: For the
company that does not want to acquire new equipment, we can adapt existing systems,
transforming them into inexpensive workstations or servers, thus allowing your company
to enjoy the advantages offered by this unique and powerful operating system with
little capital investment in the form of new hardware and software licensing.
Resource server: Allows all computers to access resources such as
databases, applications, printing and fax, regardless of the operating system
installed on each individual "client" computer.
Intranet
server: Provides various network services to your
internal network, including, but not limited to: hypertext
(Web), email, publication of documents, and much more.
Internet server: All communication services pertaining to the
Internet such as Web, email, news, instant messaging, etc.
Firewall: The front door to your Intranet from the outside world, or
perhaps even between departments within your company. Secure and reliable.
Router: A network traffic distributor which allows you to construct an
efficient and well designed network at a very low cost. Contrast this with the
expense of buying, configuring, and maintaining a group of Cisco routers, for
example.
Personalized solutions: For our clients requiring specialized
solutions to problems that are unique of their company. Our developers are trained to
develop a great variety of applications using various languages and
interfaces.
Consultancy: All companies have a need maximize the value of
existing resources within the company, and to only purchase new technology when the
cost-to-benefit ratio is high enough. It is neither practical or effective to simply
throw money at the latest technology without first fully evaluating existing
resources and developing a sensible plan. However, assessing resources and staying
up-to-date is not an easy task. It demands trained personnel and constant research.
We recommend to our clients the most profitable alternatives for
their projects based upon an optimal growth plan that leads them
to the forefront in the use of any particular type of technology.
The team at PanamaCOM has the capacity to make an accurate
assessment of the present state of your systems and their future requirements.
Once an assessment has been made it is then possible to recommend a variety of
solutions to suit your needs regarding the handling of information, as well as
planning the growth of your technology
infrastructure. In order to ensure the quality of this service,
our team is in continual contact with professionals and experts
from all over the world, exchanging information and keeping abreast
of the lastest technologies.
Information Security Systems
In this day and age information has become one of the most valued assets of any
company. For this reason, information is generally the principal objective of
computer related attacks. Protecting yourself against theft, or leaks of information
is not simply a matter of passwords. In fact, passwords themselves are just a minor
portion of any comprehensive and effective security plan. The solution
is to set security policies, which are then supported by the appropriate
technology.
Security policies: PanamaCOM performs an assessment
of your systems, their layout, and then classifies them, identifying
critical points where security threats may exist. Thus, the handling and
storage procedures of your sensitive data are set so as to prevent attackers from
compromising critical company data and systems.
Network
security: Installation of software and hardware in accordance with accepted
security standards to prevent possible attacks, especially attacks originating from the
Internet. All of this can be acceptably accomplished without preventing company employees from
enjoying the full use of tools and services offered through the Internet.
Support and Maintenance of Linux
For a company that is integrating new technologies
it is imperative to have expert support available. PanamaCOM
provides maintenance of servers and applications, technical support,
in addition to the training of technical personnel.
Technical support: Our team of technicians, working jointly with the
world-wide Linux community, is available through email and telephone to provide
support and resolution of technical difficulties that may arise for users of
the network.
Intranet: The internal computer network of a company
is not just a group of computers exchanging files.
PanamaCOM installs internal networks (Intranets) that allow
the usage of common Internet services such as Web, email, chat, etc., but which
are only available to
internal users. Users within the company,
that is. For companies that have multiple physically separarated
offices, we are able to securely interconnect the remote offices via the Internet.
In this way remote offices can communicate as if they were local, yet in a secure
manner.
In implementing all the products offered by PanamaCOM at your company
you will not only obtain the most complete information system available
on the market, but at the best price.
