Providing Organizations with Robust Managed IT Services and Solutions
BOUNDARY™ Managed Firewall as a Service: Firewalls are a foundational component of your organization’s digital privacy and security. Yet, most small and mid-sized organizations lack the fundamental skills to run and manage a firewall and find it virtually impossible to focus time and effort to stay ahead of today’s increasingly complex and dangerous threat landscape. Exigent's BOUNDARY firewall as a service (FWaaS) powered by SonicWALL dovetails with the growing movement toward IT security consumed as a monthly service and operational expense. Compare the outright purchase of a SonicWall firewall with their BOUNDARY firewall as a service and the value proposition becomes clear.
Cloud Based Backup and Disaster Recovery (Prevent™): Prevent is a complete, reliable, and affordable way to securely backup your data, onsite, and offsite. Prevent takes virtual, complete snapshots of your servers. In the event of a complete server outage, the onsite, provided hardware can be used as a standby server while your regular server is repaired or rebuilt. Downtime due to a failover is drastically reduced, allowing access to your data or the “duplicate” failover server in minutes, rather than hours or days. After creating snapshots of the servers to which it is attached, the onsite appliance transmits that data to a secure, US-based datacenter where it resides in an encrypted, compressed format. That remote datacenter site then replicates again to a secondary datacenter, creating a total of three copies of the data in three geographically distinct regions. Since the data is encrypted and only you have the key, no one has access at any of the remote storage facilities.
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (TurnKey Cloud™): The consumption of IT infrastructure as-a-service in the form of private cloud services is steadily on the rise. But with so many private cloud providers to choose from, where do you begin? Transparency is at the heart of Exigent's core values. Their computing infrastructure is owned, maintained and supported by us. Their TurnKey cloud customers sleep soundly, knowing exactly where their data and computing resources reside. In fact, they frequently host customer meetings in the primary data center. As a local provider, they take the time to understand your business, create a customized solution and help you adapt it to suit your needs as your business evolves and grows. And they are a single point of contact for support. No waiting in phone queues to talk to someone you’ve never met. The peace of mind that comes with knowing your data is safe and sound, a purpose-built solution that adapts to meet your ever-evolving business needs and exceptional support from a local trusted IT partner: that’s Exigent’s Turnkey Cloud.
Network Infrastructure Consulting: A solid foundation is everything. Your network Infrastructure, LAN, WAN, WLAN, etc., is arguably one of the most important parts of your overall IT strategy. Its design, implementation, and regular upkeep are critical to keeping your organization’s systems functional and secure. Simply put, if you want your employees to be able to communicate and collaborate smoothly and efficiently in and out of the office and with the outside world, you need a solid foundation. Translation: you need a great network. Enter their certified, Extreme Networks Consultants. At Exigent, networking has always been one of their greatest strengths. The company has been building networks that are fast, resilient, reliable, and intelligent. They will work with you to understand your needs today—and design expandable network solutions with the future in mind. Whether enhancing your current network or building a new network from scratch, count on Exigent to deliver robust networking solutions to link you and your employees to customers and suppliers across the office or around the world.
Virtual CIO Services: Even though most small to mid-sized businesses could enormously benefit from an experienced CIO, they do not have room in the budget to pay for a full-time position or time in their schedules to search for the right CIO fit. Enter Exigent’s Virtual CIO Services that offers executive-level strategic technology guidance. With a virtual CIO, small to mid-sized businesses can benefit from the acumen of a per diem executive resource with extensive technology and business expertise. The virtual CIO is available to provide strategic IT guidance, analysis, and management, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time C-level technology professional. The service also saves businesses the time-consuming and expensive hiring process. You no longer need to waste resources screening, interviewing, and hiring a salaried CIO. Instead, Exigent offers a ready-to-go virtual CIO prepared to occupy a position of duality, with one foot in the server room or data center and the other in the boardroom. A leader with savvy in both arenas will bring many IT benefits to your business.
