GNS has many years of experience in implementing critical and essential business systems. The foundation of a reliable system is quality electronics; most problems are due to faulty or inadequate computer or networking hardware.

Our Technology Assessment will help establish the quality and reliability of your existing hardware as a base for possible upgrade or replacement. It is "penny-wise" but "pound-foolish" to skimp in this area.

GNS sells only the best in workstations, servers, and network hardware. The small difference in price over inferior units more than pays for itself in increased reliability. A system built on cheap electronics is like a house built on a poor foundation; it may look as good on the outside in the beginning, but it is only a matter of time before the cracks become painfully apparent.

Depending on your firm's requirements, essential systems can be built with redundancy to assure continued operation without data loss in the event of component failure. The degree of redundancy implemented is a balance between cost and acceptable down-time. A reliable backup system is always a must. GNS provides both on-site and off-site backups for maximum protection against data loss. For data security, on-site backups should always be stored in a locked container. GNS' off site backup system provides the extra security of encrypted data; only your firm has the encryption key required for decryption; the data is of no value to anyone else. If, for example, the encryption key is lost, the data becomes useless.
