Networking Solutions

As networks become an integral part of everyone's lives, advanced network security technologies are being developed to protect data and preserve privacy, especially Internet privacy. Total Solutions is now an authorized partner for Cyberoam.

Cyberoam is one of the most comprehensive internet network security devices. It simply combines gateway Firewall, VPN, anti-spam, antivirus, intrusion prevention, bandwidth management and URL filtering on a single platform; justifying its claim of Unified Threat Manager. Effectively managing not the just the network and its security but also your company's resources, boosting productivity and your confidence.

• Firewall: A firewall is an essential element of network privacy and security. Hardware or software firewalls monitor and limit the flow of information through a computer network according to defined rules.
• Router: A network router joins two computer networks together. DSL and cable modem routers are often used in homes and small businesses, while other types of network routers are also used on the Internet.
• Spyware / Malware: Common forms of malware found on computers today are spyware, viruses, worms, and trojans. All utilize computer networks to spread and do damage.

Cyberoam offers comprehensive Internet security to enterprises, including corporations, educational institutions and government organizations effectively.

The Cyberoam CR series ranges from CR25i to CR1500i, serving the Internet security requirements of small, medium and large enterprises. Cyberoam security appliances are accelerated for high speed through proprietary algorithms to deliver enterprise class performance. They offer reliable, round the clock security through high availability. It eliminates the need for individual security appliances.

LAN, WAN and Other Area Networks

One way to categorize the different types of computer network designs is by their scope or scale. For historical reasons, the networking industry refers to nearly every type of design as some kind of area network. Common examples of area network types are:

• LAN – Local Area Network
• WLAN – Wireless Local Area Network
• WAN – Wide Area Network

LAN and WAN are the original categories of area networks, while the others have gradually emerged over many years of technology evolution.
(Note that these network types are a separate concept from network topologies such as a bus, ring and star.)

LAN – Local Area Network - A LAN connects network devices over a relatively short distance. A networked office building, school, or home usually contains a single LAN, though sometimes one building will contain a few small LANs (perhaps one per room), and occasionally a LAN will span a group of nearby buildings. In TCP/IP networking, a LAN is often but not always implemented as a single IP subnet.

In addition to operating in a limited space, LANs are also typically owned, controlled, and managed by a single person or organization. They also tend to use certain connectivity technologies, primarily Ethernet and Token Ring.

WAN – Wide Area Network - As the term implies, a WAN spans a large physical distance. The Internet is the largest WAN, spanning the Earth. A WAN is a geographically-dispersed collection of LANs. A network device called a router connects LANs to a WAN. In IP networking, the router maintains both a LAN address and a WAN address.

A WAN differs from a LAN in several important ways. Most WANs (like the Internet) are not owned by any one organization but rather exist under collective or distributed ownership and management. WANs tend to use technology like ATM, Frame Relay and X.25 for connectivity over the longer distances.

LAN, WAN and Home Networking - Residences typically employ one LAN and connect to the Internet WAN via an Internet Service Provider (ISP) using a broadband modem. The ISP provides a WAN IP address to the modem, and all of the computers on the home network use LAN (so-called private) IP addresses. All computers on the home LAN can communicate directly with each other but must go through a central gateway, typically a broadband router, to reach the ISP.

Wireless Local Area Network - a LAN based on Wi-Fi wireless network technology.

System Integration

System integration is the bringing together of the component subsystems into one system and ensuring that the subsystems function together as a system. In information technology, systems integration is the process of linking together different computing systems and software applications physically or functionally.

The systems integrator brings together discrete systems utilizing a variety of techniques such as computer networking, enterprise application integration, business process management or manual programming. At Total Solutions, we have our expertise in designing systems for all kinds of users. We have standard set of designs for different kinds of users and we also offer the facility of user designing his configuration. From Email setup using Microsoft Exchange to Linux based email application, we are able to deploy to your requirement(s).

Storage & Power

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS), also known as an uninterruptible power source or a battery backup is a device which maintains a continuous supply of electric power to connected equipment by supplying power from a separate source when utility power is not available. There are three distinct types of UPS: off-line, line-interactive and on-line. When a power failure occurs, the off-line type of UPS effectively switches from utility power to its own power source, almost instantaneously. The on-line type of UPS, which is continuously connected to the protected load, draws energy from its reserves, usually stored in lead-acid batteries, converting it to AC power.

The on-line type of UPS, in addition to providing protection against complete failure of the utility supply, provides protection against all common power problems, and for this reason it is also known as a power conditioner and a line conditioner.

While not limited to safeguarding any particular type of equipment, a UPS is typically used to protect computers, telecommunication equipment or other electrical equipment where an unexpected power disruption could cause injuries, fatalities, serious business disruption or data loss. UPS units come in sizes ranging from units which will back up a single computer without monitor (around 200 VA) to units which will power entire data centers or buildings (several megawatts). Larger UPS units typically work in conjunction with generators.

Historically, UPSs were very expensive and were most likely to be used on expensive computer systems and in areas where the power supply is interrupted frequently. However, as prices have fallen, UPS units have become an essential piece of equipment for data centers and business computers, but are also used for personal computers, entertainment systems and more.
