Multiprotocol Label Switching Deployed by Signal Solutions Corp for Recology

Benicia, CA (PRWEB) October 15, 2009

Signal Solutions teamed up with AT&T to install the equipment and circuits required to replace Recology’s older frame relay network. Signal Solutions performed over 100 site visits throughout Recology’s broad service region to survey, deploy, turn up and test the new MPLS network and a redundant backup system.

Services included the extension of MPLS and out of band modem circuits from the entrance facilities to the equipment rooms, installation of Cisco MPLS routers and attachment of the routers to the MPLS and local area networks. Prior to turn up, Signal Solutions field technicians tested all MPLS deployments in tandem with AT&T’s test center engineers. Cut-over from the old frame relay network to the new MPLS network successfully took place without a hitch over one weekend.

To make sure that no location would ever go offline, AT&T provided a redundant connection to each site using its DSL services where available, and its 3G wireless network service where DSL was not available. This backup system provided a seamless cutover to either DSL or the 3G wireless network in the event of a MPLS circuit failure. Signal Solutions deployment services for the backup system included the extension of the DSL circuits (where available) from the entrance facilities to the equipment rooms, installation of AT&T Netgate 8100 routers, installation of 3G wireless cards when needed, attachment of the routers to the local area networks and functional testing of the redundant links by disconnecting the MPLS circuits.

In the midst of the MPLS deployment, Signal Solutions was tasked with installing a new Category 6 rated cabling system consisting of over 300 outlets and the construction of the corporate computer room at Recology’s new corporate offices.

Concurrently, at the new Sacramento data center and disaster recovery site, Signal Solutions partnered with IBM Corporation to provide the necessary infrastructure services to interconnect the new computing and communications systems, including the installation of racking systems, 400+ Category 6A cables and fiber optic backbone systems.

According to Mike McLaughlin, Director of Information Technology at Recology: “We have relied on Signal Solutions for our voice and data connectivity needs for more than 20 years. With all the projects we had on our plate and the limited internal resources available to us, Signal Solutions was a logical choice to assist us, having time and again provided us with professional technical expertise, excellent service and quality workmanship at a reasonable price. All 3 projects were successfully completed on time and within budget. Once again, they proved to be the right choice.”

Nanotek Consulting Corp. Announces Top Level Disaster Recovery Solutions

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) December 05, 2011

Nanotek Consulting Corp. is now providing first rate contingency planning that will enable businesses to consolidate resources, save man hours, reduce energy costs by eliminating extraneous hardware, and empower companies to have greater oversight in their technical issues.

Recently, one of their clients had servers that were approaching a critical state. Before they came to Nanotek, other IT firms had told them that they should virtualize and consolidate their data into a new server. The client, a highly trafficked web property, could not afford the eight hours or more of downtime that they were initially quoted to move to a new server. Nanotek, on the other hand, implemented a unique solution: a physical to virtual conversion on the live server. The task was completed and running before the meeting was even over – without any downtime.

At Nanotek we deploy a multi layered approach to your backup and Disaster Recovery Plan designed to meet all budgets and all contingencies, says Harsh Pabla, CTO of Nanotek. First and foremost, critical servers, files, and databases are backed up locally every hour throughout the day so that in the event of data loss, restore points are usually no more than an hour old.

Since being established 18 years ago in Toronto, Nanotek Consulting Corp. has positioned itself as a distinctive choice amongst IT consulting firms that focus on disaster recovery services. The IT consulting firm continues to garner a reputation for superior customer service by consistently making their customers feel at ease, regardless of their technical knowledge.

As an IT consulting firm, Nanotek provides value to its customers by offering a range of services that include: cloud computing, off-site data protection, network security analysis, and disaster recovery management, amongst other things. The company has leveraged its expertise and team of professionals to provide solutions to problems that competing firms qualified as intractable.

Nanoteks ability to control and implement solutions to critical IT problems was put to the test at another time when approached by a local real estate association. The client was having their roof repaired, but an unfinished job left open areas where rain leaked in and onto their servers, cables and routers. Nanotek quickly assessed the situation, isolated damaged areas, and replaced equipment within a just few hours.

Knowledge is important in this industry but combined with a dynamic, mobile team, strong vendor partnerships, and the commitment to deliver top level solutions, you become an unequalled end-to-end solution provider, says Pabla. This holistic approach to servicing their customers is what has made Nanotek an unparalleled leader and a trusted source of technical knowledge.

For any business the margins can be thin, so the need to operate in a financially efficient manner is imperative to their survival. One of the major competitive advantages that Nanotek brings to their clients is the ability to cut ineffective spending. Reducing energy consumption by consolidating servers and using cloud computing as a replacement to expensive hardware are just two of the ways they save their clients money. Regardless of the cost associated with updating aging infrastructure, it is unquestionably less than losing business and valuable corporate information as a result of a crashed server.
