Microsoft Windows Networks
Elevative Networks can support your existing Microsoft network or build a new one from scratch to suit your organization’s needs.

We are experts at helping you figure out what you have and making sure it is operating reliably, with sufficient backup and security to ensure that your data and email are safe. If you have found yourself in a position where you are not confident things are under control, then calling us is an excellent first step to ensure that your system functions as it should.

Elevative can also work with your business to upgrade and replace your existing systems. Even in a brand new company, we will work with to you determine hardware and software requirements that suit your needs and not those of a much larger company. We have extensive experience building Windows networks that work, fitting our designs into your strategy without compromising quality and needlessly burning through your budget. Expensive servers do not always mean happy clients, and we are totally focused on helping you build what you need and not what some other firms would like to sell you.

Our staff has deep expertise providing support for a wide range of Microsoft products, including: Windows Server NT 4.0 to 2003; SQL Server 5.0 to 2000; Exchange Server 5.0 to 2003; and the migration of existing networks (including Netware and Groupwise) into modern Windows-based servers.

Email Systems
Some companies only need one outside email address, while others need a full-fledged system providing not only email but shared calendaring, mobile connectivity, wireless and web email access, spam and virus filtering, auto responders, legal disclaimers and PDA synchronization.

We do all of this, and we will work with you to manage your existing system, build the one that fulfills your requirements, or find the external vendor that can host your email for you.

Internet Connectivity
Elevative can evaluate your existing Internet connectivity and make recommendations based on our assessment of your IT needs. If you do not have broadband Internet connectivity, we can help you find the right provider. If you have broadband we will work with you to find out if you have too much or too little, and help you establish the right connectivity at the right price. We can provide solutions that enhance your service, like redundant ‘failover’ connections or capacity planning for a VoIP rollout . We can also recommend mobile services for dialup and wireless users in the field and on the road.

Firewalls, Security and Patch Management
Network security is vital to any organization, no matter what the size. An organization with Internet connectivity needs to have a security solution in place. That solution includes a solid firewall, but the reality is that a firewall is not the whole answer. Much of today's software has security vulnerabilities that need monitoring and patching to prevent malicious programs from putting your data and reputation at risk. With the right combination of technology, expertise and diligence the threats can be minimized. Elevative Networks will help keep your data and network secure.

Wired and Wireless Networks
Elevative Networks can support an existing hard-wired cable plant, from the copper cabling to the hubs and switches that bring it all together. We have experience figuring out the worst ‘rat’s nest’ imaginable, and can also work with you to scrap the existing cabling to build anew in your existing space or in new office space. Our staff will help you evaluate what you have and if it suits what your business needs now and in the future.

We also will work with you to build a secure wireless network, in your office space as well as for your mobile workforce. Elevative has experience with consumer, SoHo and industrial wireless solutions and can help you identify what is right for your firm.

Remote Access Technology
An increasing number of organizations rely on remote access technology to enable their employees to work from home or on the road. There are many different technologies to help you grant remote access to one person or to many, and Elevative Networks can work with you to build the system that makes sense for your company.

WWW / Web Development
Elevative Networks can provide web presence solutions that suit your individual firm’s needs, from graphic design to application programming either to reface your existing site or create a new one. We will work with you to manage the design and implementation process from start to finish, including making recommendations on the technologies to use and the best place to host your site. Our experience ranges from simple sites to full-blown database-integrated extranets, so we can help you build the site you need.
