Managed Services Lunch & Learn!

December 10, 2008

DirectNetworks is improving their IT offerings to include new managed services designed to reduce costs, provide disaster recovery and automate tedious tasks, all at low monthly rates. Join us on Wednesday, December 10th, at our Lunch and Learn to find out how you can Sleep (even) Better with DNI’s NEW IT Managed Services!

Managed Offsite Data Backup: Say goodbye to tape backup systems/software, costly backup errors and labor costs associated with backup drives or software. Our offsite backup system eliminates the tape and all the hassles tied to it. Recover deleted files quickly and painlessly, similar to accessing a network drive. Your data is securely backed up daily onsite at your facility, encrypted to the highest department of defense standards and then securely backed up offsite to DirectNetworks' data center. This service provides a base-level of data disaster recovery, labor time savings and eliminates the tape-backup headaches, risks and costs.

Managed Print Services: Introduce better visibility and control over printing costs. Realize better usage of your printer fleet and increase staff efficiency. Learn how the browser-based dashboard allows you to see real time, the printer usage and toner level in your office. Never guess at stocking toner or maintenance kits again, when your toner and maintenance kits are running low, the system automatically orders new supplies and ships right to your door specifying the printer(s) the supplies are intended for. You only have to pay for the toner and maintenance kits you need! Savings can range from 15-30%! Keep your staff productive, they will no longer have to deal with a down printer waiting for a maintenance kit or the re-ordering of supplies. This service will help automate management of your printer environment and help keep staff productive.

Managed Internet Web Filter/Malware Security: How can you further prevent one of your PCs from infection and joining a SPAM Bot or Key-logger network? Did you know that infected PCs are one of the most popular SPAM relays in the world today? It has been shown that a Malware-infected PC can send out as many as 30,000 to 100,000 messages in 24 hours from your network! This can put your network at risk and your domain name at the mercy of costly, painful blacklists. Ever wonder how much time your employees are spending on sites like Careerbuilder, Monster, Ebay, ESPN, iTunes,You Tube or Facebook? Your organization owns the internet service provided to employees; are you concerned about users introducing legal liabilities to your company by accessing inappropriate web content? This service will fill the security gap left by antivirus/email filters/firewalls, increases employee productivity and reduce liability.
