Specialized Systems focuses primarily on administrative scripting. With
a background in the consulting field, we have experience with multiple layers
of network technologies and understand what is required to deploy solutions
to solve administrative tasks.
The following is a list of technologies where scripting solutions can be
applied:
Windows NETLOGON scripts
Windows KixTart NETLOGON scripts
Active Directory Services Interface (ADSI)
Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)
HTTP / ASP / .NET Automation (recurring web based task automation)
Remote Windows NT Workstation management (recurring or one-time)
Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 / 2003
Web Applications / Web based Windows Server management
Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) scripts
Workstation Deployment across the Enterprise
Microsoft Windows Server 2000 / 2003 services control
Customized Network Bootdisks for imaging (PXE ROM images)
Solutions - Workflow
The traditional approach organizations take on large repititous projects is
to contract a small group of technicians and have them perform the bulk work
one PC at a time. This is both expensive and error prone, as a result the
estimate of each project requires additional overhead for error correction.
Having this work solved logically instead of physically, the project will
cost less and the organization will have these tools for future
implementation. Specialized Systems can modify these tools as projects
evolve for a fraction of the original development price and much less than
organizing yet another team of technicians.
Specialized Systems can design workflows for outsourced projects as well as
manage technical issues that may slow their completion. Whether the solution
requires a technical approach or a process design approach, we have the
experience to find and create the most efficient design possible. Our designs
can reduce both manpower and time, saving your company money for the next
project focused on making your company more profitable and secure.
Solutions - Point-to-Point Bridges / Wireless Distribution Systems (WDS)
Specialized Systems can assist with point-to-point wireless solutions for
metropolitan area networks or campus area networks. Wireless point-to-point
bridges are used in situations where a temporary facility such as an on-site
trailer is setup or where underground wiring for permanent facilities is
either too expensive or impossible. While reliable out of the box solutions
can be purchased from vendors such as Cisco, these solutions are very
expensive. Specialized Systems uses the consumer-grade Linksys / Cisco WRT54G
access points running a specially designed appliance grade Linux distribution
with third party antennas from
Hyperlink Technologies.
For campus-wide network access for laptop users as well as network based
appliances such as bar-code scanners, inventory carts, etc. a Wireless
Distribution System (WDS) can provide seamless network connectivity to your
corporate network. Using WDS technology, as a wireless client device moves
within a WDS grid, the wireless connection is transparently reconnected to
the access point with the strongest signal. This prevents any interruption
in connectivity as well as the need for user interaction. This WDS solution
can be cost effective using the Linksys / Cisco WRT54G consumer-grade routers
running specialized Linux distributions. We design the software and make
recommendations on your grid design, including the logistics concerning
interference and signal attenuation.
Solutions - Site-to-Site LAN VPNs
Specialized Systems provides site to site VPN solutions utilizing the Linksys
WRT54G and WRT54GS routers. These routers both cost under $100.00 and provide
exceptional reliability and performance. We have designed a package that will
reliably and securely connect all of your remote locations with your host
location using the open source OpenWRT Linux OS and the open source OpenVPN
SSL VPN package. Most VPN solutions cost well over $1000.00 dollars for
hardware and licensing for only 2 sites (host location and 1 remote office).
Specialized Systems can provide you with VPN services for all remote sites
for significantly less than other vendors charge for a single remote site.
