Network Infrastructure Solutions

Network infrastructure includes all hardware and software used to communicate through the network. This includes, but is not limited to, wiring, routers, switches, Wi-Fi Access points and firewall. 


At ARCC Tech, we install and set-up various network hardware and configure devices to communicate through the network using different software to allow local and remote user access and file access management. 


We can also help if you require support with smart home device installation and setup.

Installation and Set-Up of Various Network Hardware

Routers

The router serves as the central hub of your network, directing data traffic between devices and managing connections to the internet. Installation involves connecting the router to the modem and configuring settings through its web interface, including setting up SSID, passwords, and security protocols.

Switches

Switches expand your network by connecting multiple devices within the same local area network (LAN). Installation includes linking the switch to the router and connecting various devices via Ethernet cables. Configuration often involves managing VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) to optimize traffic and improve security.

Wi-Fi Access Points

These devices extend wireless coverage throughout a facility. Installation requires positioning access points strategically to minimize dead zones. Configuration includes adjusting channel settings and power levels to ensure seamless connectivity for all wireless devices.

Firewall

A firewall acts as a barrier between your internal network and external threats. Installation involves positioning the firewall between the modem and router and configuring rules to manage inbound and outbound traffic, ensuring that only authorized data packets are allowed through.

Configuring Devices to Communicate through the Network Using Different Software

User Management

This process involves creating and managing user accounts, roles, and permissions to ensure secure access to network resources. Admins can utilize directory services (like Active Directory) to streamline user management, allowing for centralized control over who can access specific devices and data.

File Access Management

Configuring file access involves setting permissions on shared drives and folders. Administrators can specify which users or groups have read, write, or modify access to ensure that sensitive information is protected while allowing collaboration among authorized users.

Network Access

Managing network access is crucial for maintaining security and performance. This includes implementing access control policies, such as network segmentation and guest access restrictions, as well as monitoring traffic to identify and mitigate potential threats

Cloud Computing Services

Software as a Service Model (SaaS)

SaaS provides software applications over the internet, eliminating the need for local installations. Users access these applications through a web browser or mobile app.  

Examples

Platform as a Service Model (PaaS)

PaaS provides a cloud-based platform for developing, testing, and deploying applications. It handles the underlying infrastructure, allowing developers to focus on application development.

Examples

Infrastructure as a Service Model (IaaS)

IaaS provides access to fundamental computing resources like servers, storage, and networking. Users can rent these resources on demand, paying only for what they use.
