Network
Solutions, Inc. was incorporated in 1995. Its
founders had extensive experience in hardware repair and
networking and had started working in the computer business
in 1987. From the beginning, Network Solutions,
Inc. concentrated on business networks for
companies that were too small to support an internal information
technology department. In 1996 the founders
of Network Solutions,
joined with another partner to form Internet Solutions. Internet
Solutions was started to provide internet services to both
business and home users. The two companies shared
offices and staff, which helped them become leaders in
bringing business networks onto the internet. Internet
Solutions has now been brought under the Network Solutions,
Inc. umbrella and functions as a division of Network Solutions.
Network Solutions has
always been on the leading edge of offerings with regards
to services and support. We brought free virus scanning
to our customer’s email years
before the “big guys”. Similarly, we brought
spam filtering out early on – pioneering some of the code used in programs
around the world now for spam filtering. Now, we are bringing out customers
improved technical support through new tools such as our iFoye technology. In addition, we have
also developed systems for onsite and offsite backups to protect our customer’s
data and monitor for problems. Network Solutions also began to deploy
Linux servers as early as 1997. These technologies are just starting to
become “main stream”, but we have been working with them for years.
The Internet
Solutions division is a full service ISP (Internet Service Provider) that provides
dialup, wireless, and DSL access to the internet. Internet Solutions is
also a full service web host and email provider. We are not a “reseller” of
a larger ISP’s service – everything is done in-house. Our
data center features redundant firewalls for security, multi-homed internet
connectivity, and uninterruptible power supplies backed by a natural gas generator
for immortal power. All of our systems are monitored 24 hours a day by
automated systems which notify technicians in the event of a problem in as little
as one second.
Network Solutions has most recently begun
a healthcare division, which focuses on networking medical offices in support
of their practice management systems. We provide turnkey solutions supporting
business applications as well as operatory computers. Network
Solutions installs and supports software such as Dentrix, Venga, Dentserv, and
other solutions. Our installers can setup custom mounting equipment to
provide seamless, clean installs for operatories. We can also integrate
video, audio, and telephony systems into the computer network to maximize the
efficient use of your technology systems.
Network Solutions has always been committed
to service after installation. All computer systems
require periodic upkeep and we have the staff and the experience to quickly and
efficiently keep your systems in optimum condition. Many of our systems
(such as onsite backups, offsite backups, and our server installations) will
notify our technicians in the event of a problem. Much of the time, we
can fix issues before YOU know you have one. Proactive problem resolution
is one of the newest areas that Network Solutions is
working on cutting edge solutions.
These
days it is tempting to just buy a computer and call someone
to come hook it up to make it do everything you want.
Unfortunately, it does not always work that way. Your
network needs to be planned out from the beginning so
that it will be scalable enough to grow with your business.
Your equipment also needs to work together seemlessly,
and that integration requires a thoughtful look at "the
big picture." At Network Solutions, we understand
that you might not know much about computers. Really,
you shouldn't have to. We probably don't know much about
the business YOU are in. When our cars break, we visit
a mechanic. You should think about your computers in
the same way. You don't need to know how a car is put
together to be able to drive to the supermarket. In the
same way, you don't need to know all about computers
for them to work for you -- if they are setup and installed
properly. That is where we come in so you don't have
to learn about computers and can focus on learning all that
you need to know about running your business.
