We installed new workstations [NT 4.0, 2000, and XP] and an additional server [NT 4.0], and we migrated existing data as well as the Primavera Expedition database application. We migrated the company from SWBT to Cox, as well as DNS records [A and MX]. A special backup routine to facilitate "Hot Backup" of the Expedition database and log files was designed and implemented by us. We provide maintenance of the Exchange 5.0 mail system, as well as backup management and have installed a VPN system for remote users to connect to the home office network. Landmark has been remotely monitored and maintained for several years. This has enabled us to detect problems, such as low drive space, before they affected the users and caused any business outage.
The weekend of May 28, 2004 we installed 2 new servers with the Windows 2003 Server operating system to act as a file server and a Timberline accounting server. We then upgraded the Exchange server to Windows 2003 Server and Exchange 2003 and recreated all of the user accounts.
Approximately 20 users.

We have re-engineered the network environment, installed new workstations [NT 40, and XP], installed a new server [NT 4.0], migrated existing data as well as the AMS line of business proprietary database application. We migrated the company from Gabriel Communications (Nuvox) to Cox, as well as DNS records [A and MX]. A VPN system so that remote users are able to connect to the home office network has been installed. We are currently in the process of replacing their outdated NT workstations (now 5 years old) with current generation Windows XP workstations.

We have totally reengineered the home office network as well as several remote locations. We migrated Primavera Expedition from the old server to a new server as well as the previous mail system [Mdaemon]. 11 new workstations in the home office, as well as others in multiple remote locations, were installed. We also completed the installation of a VPN system for remote users to connect to a remote office network. Approximately 30 users.

We currently support the Sarkeys Foundation on an as needed basis. Services include, new machine setups, data restoration, and general network troubleshooting. We also perform monthly maintenance on their systems to verify that all operating systems are up to date, as well as their Norton Anti Virus product. During this monthly maintenance we also verify that their nightly backup is viable via test restores of random data.

We have supported Hanover compression with our remote maintenance service. We have re-cabled their building and maintain their domain, including terminal services access for an off site office location. We also provide virus monitoring for their environment.
We ceased remote maintenance service shortly after Hanover Compression acquired J&R Power. At that time, Hanover Compression s corporate IT department took over network administration of this site. We worked closely with the corporate IT department to insure a smooth transition and continue to provide service on an as-needed basis.

Michael Douglas hired GWC to completely reengineer his network. We have replaced all the equipment at this location and installed a Dell Power Edge 2600 Server and Dell Optiplex Workstations. This install included a total production data migration as well as a terminal server setup to support the Pro Series accounting application. The client also opted for a VPN solution that allows the end users to work from home or any other location with Internet connectivity. Michael also subscribes to our remote administration and management service, including virus monitoring.

Laid Back Enterprises has a moderate to large network of approximately 6 servers, 45 workstations, and 8-10 print servers. We initially ran a comprehensive security sweep on their network to identify security weaknesses and to gain a more advanced understanding of the current health of their network. We have since reconciled their DHCP database, as well as their WINS database, and have restructured their IP addressing schema for a more organized and logical management of TCP/IP enabled resources. We have installed, configured, and currently maintain the VPN concentrator, which enables us to perform in excess of 95% of all maintenance and management tasks via VPN. A new Dell Power Edge 2600 shipping server has been installed, and further foundation level infrastructure improvements are slated for completion over the next 2 years.

Keith Walker Oil and Gas has their home office in Norman, Oklahoma with satellite offices in Ardmore and Yukon, Oklahoma, as well as a satellite office in Denver, Colorado. We have installed hardware VPN tunnels between Norman, Ardmore, and Yukon. Software VPN tunnels have been established between the office in Denver, CO and Norman. There are also several users who need remote access to the file server located in Norman. These users connect to the office in Norman using software VPN tunnels. We have installed a terminal server that the majority of the VPN users utilize.

Oklahoma Business Insurors

We began administering the network at OBI in February, 2004. Shortly after taking over from their previous support entity, the server suffered a catastrophic hardware failure requiring extensive data recovery efforts. This failure necessitated the reengineering of the entire network. To better suit the clients specific needs we diversified their configuration. Two separate servers were put in place: a domain controller and a terminal server to provide remote users with the appropriate access. We also reengineered the disaster recovery plan so that future data recovery will proceed more smoothly. A VPN unit has been installed, and their network is remotely managed.
