Computer networks have acquired the potential to become very complex beasts and being able to understand and monitor their performance and security a fairly specialised task. MetroMOT is designed to address any concerns you may have with regards to your network and indeed your overall IT infrastructure, essentially by exposing it to a fresh pair of eyes with 20 years of experience in the industry.

What sort of things do we look at?

• Are there any holes in your firewall that shouldn’t be there?
• Are your systems set up to minimise your risk with regards to SPAM and Trojans?
• Is your local area network as quick as it should be and is it error free?
• Do you have any Botnets, or P2P services lurking on the network?
• What could be done to increase your network’s performance and make it more robust?
• What sort of things could be done to reduce your ongoing IT costs?
• What ongoing monitoring could be implemented to ensure ongoing performance and peace of mind?

Leveraging new technology

As proponents of Open Source software we keep abreast of industry developments, but in particular in the ‘free software’ arena. Although Windows is typically an embedded technology that companies are often not in a position to change, there are many very high quality ‘free’ applications around that can be added to a given commercial infrastructure, often at no cost, which can complement existing technologies and either enhance existing functionality or indeed add new functionality not previously considered.

Peace of mind

Possibly the most important part of the package. We will produce a document detailing any issues we can find, any associated risk factor and a list of things you can do to mitigate that risk.
