Computer Networking

 

Computer Networking & Custom Programming

Wikstrom Technologies has experience in a wide array of computer networking and programming technologies. We can design a network from the ground up which will fulfill your specific needs.

Design, Wiring & Networking Hardware

Building new or remodeling? Need to upgrade your current wiring? Make sure your building is wired with the latest technology. We can build you a network running at 100 megabits now, and you can expand to 10 gigabits (100 times the speed) with no wiring changes. Support mobile stations with a business-class wireless network, and keep computers, printers, servers, and other networked devices running their fastest on a wired network.

Security

Keep your network secure on the inside and the outside. Make sure your computers and files are secure within your network, that your systems remain free of viruses, worms, greyware, and other malware, and that there are no ‘back doors’ into your network. We can provide security solutions from Cisco and SonicWall, and we offer custom network security based on Linux and BSD, like pfSense firewalls, Snort intrusion detection.

File Servers & Remote Backup

Share files between five users or five thousand, in one office or with branch offices across the region or nation. We can set up a new networked storage system, or upgrade an existing Windows, Novell Netware, or Samba file server. Windows, MacOS, UNIX/Linux, and OS/400 computers can all share the same files.

Keep your files secure and protected against disaster and accidental deletion by using our remote backup service. Automatic nightly backups of your data are made to our secured, battery-backed, RAID-protected servers. If you lose a file or even a whole computer, get your data back by downloading it from our servers again.

Database Servers

Speed and centralize access to important business data, or even make your public data searchable on the Internet. We have years of experience in Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle database servers. We can design and install a database system at your location, or your data can be stored in one of our secure, power-protected locations.

Database Integration & Web Access

We can help move your old DOS or Windows database to a new, modular platform, like Ruby on Rails, or to a custom design of your choosing. Once on Rails, your database can simply be used in-house, made available to branch offices (an intranet), made available to clients, vendors, or other partners (an extranet), or even made partly or wholly available to the Internet.

Spam Filtering

Stop spam before it ever gets to your inbox. We offer spam filtering using SpamAssassin, Mimedefang, and custom software developed through years of real-world spam-fighting experience. Your spam filtering solution can be fully customized and features advanced spam-fighting tools like greylisting and auto-whitelisting. Spam filtering can be transparently added to your existing email system, or your email can be hosted and spam-filtered directly on our servers.

Web Servers, Managed Hosting & Colocation

Host your website in our datacenter – your site will be protected by redundant Internet routes, automatic nightly rdiff-backup, and electric power backed by both battery and generator. Co-locate your server with us, or let us provide the server. We can support nearly any type of hosting environment required – PHP, ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails, Perl, Python, CGI, and more, on Linux/Apache or Microsoft Windows IIS. Plus, our software can help you build a site automatically, with content management software like Drupal and WordPress.

Custom Programming

Need complex custom web programming or unique desktop software? We can develop software for you that uses open standards and frameworks so you’re not stuck with a “white elephant”. We use popular and widely supported development environments like Ruby on Rails and ASP.NET. We can also support existing software or develop anew in Ruby, Java, PHP, C/C++, Perl, ASP, Python, Cobol, Visual Basic, C#, and Linux/UNIX shell scripting.

Server & Desktop Support

We’ll keep your current computer systems monitored and maintained to run at their peak. Nearly every operating system running on servers and desktops is supported – from Windows XP and Server 2003 to DOS and Windows 3.1, as well as MacOS, Linux, and other UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems.

Proxy Serving & Content Filtering

Filter adult-oriented and other objectionable websites or reduce web traffic on your Internet connection by using a proxy server. We have years of experience in running bulletproof proxy servers in an ISP environment.
