Common network components Digital Pathways Consulting has experience implementing are:

NT or Windows 2000 Server
Provides the server functionality such as login authentication, profiles and/or network home directories, printer and file sharing.

MS Exchange Server
Provides centralized mailbox storage for Outlook or Outlook Express clients and offers a web based interface for checking mail from a web browser.

Enterprise Backup
Automates regular backup schedules, allows definitions of custom backup plans and manages the media (tapes). Always a good idea for the protection of your corporate data such as proprietary database data, documents, emails etc.

Anti-Virus (Corporate)
Automatically installs on any computer added to the network, ensuring protection. Automatic updates from the internet are possible if a connection is available.

MS Proxy Server/ISA Server
Allows a single internet IP addressed to be shared by multiple computers, allowing each of them access to the internet. This centralization of an internet connection also allows you to concentrate security measures on the single point of entry.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Allows regional offices who have an internet connection (WAN) to communicate with a home office as if they were part of the Local Area Network (LAN).

Firewall
Protects your corporate network when you have an internet connection to the global public.

Remote Access Solutions (Terminal Server / Citrix)
Allows a client computer to effectively become a window on a remote Host Server, allowing one to run applications as if you were physically in front of the server computer.
