Networking

Networking is the core layer to every infrastructure and it is critical that proper planning take place along with selecting the right products capable of delivering the appropriate performance and security. Bayshore Technologies can provide your organization with the consulting and engineering services necessary at every network layer; Firewalls and Virtual Private Networks (VPN’s), Intrusion Protection Systems, Website or URL filtering, Load Balancers and Routers, Switches (VLAN’s), Network Access Control (NAC) and Wireless networking.

Bayshore Technologies network related components and services include:

Firewalls and Virtual Private Networks

Bayshore Technologies offers “next generation” firewall solutions from Palo Alto where traffic inspection can now address users, applications and content with parallel processing in a single pass. In addition, we offer traditional stateful inspection based firewall products and services from Watchguard along with configuring secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections between firewalls or to individual clients.

Load Balancers

Today, you can implement load balancing at multiply layers of the classic OSI model. Based on the client requests (Layer 2-4) and/or applications (Layer 7), load balancing can securely direct them to the right resource. Bayshore Technologies can provide the expertise to plan, build and support “your cloud” solution utilizing multi-purpose and feature rich Citrix NetScaler appliances.

Intrusion Protection Systems (IPS)

There are many ways your network can be attacked. Implementing an IPS solution which has continual updates to detect exploits or hacking signatures will significantly reduce your exposure. With today’s firewalls, you can now install an IPS module to accomplish this objective without having to install an expensive standalone solution.

Website or URL Filtering

Having the proper tool to report and control outbound web activity is key to making sure that your network and data is not placed in jeopardy and productivity levels are optimized. Implementing a URL filtering solution which has continual updates to add new websites and/or categories will significantly reduce your exposure. With today’s firewalls, you can now install a URL Filtering module to accomplish this objective without having to install an expensive standalone solution.

Routers and Switches

Selecting the right Router or Switch for the appropriate performance or feature set is just the first step. Properly installing and configuring the appliance to best practices, always with security in mind, is a service that Bayshore Technologies can provide to your organization. A complete suite of HP networking products are available to choose from including wireless.

Network Access Control (NAC)

Bayshore Technologies is proud to add a new security solution for the network layer with the Enterasys NAC solution (and other products) that essentially provides a firewall solution at the physical and logical layer “on the inside of your network” at the switch/port level. Now you can have detailed reporting and control over individual applications and users with policies designed to permit or deny, prioritize or rate-limit and re-direct based on user, time, location, device type and much more. Enterasys NAC supports third part switches and wireless so you do not need to rip and replace existing physical appliances.

Wireless Networking

Bayshore Technologies can provide you with all your wireless networking planning and installation services including site surveys and access point placement strategies, public and private (or guest) wireless networks, wireless controllers, wireless firewalls and outdoor wireless systems. Just ask!
