Deployment & Migration

Nova has certified and experienced professionals in all of the major networking technologies including Microsoft NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Novell 4, 5, 6, 6.5, Sun Solaris, other Unix, Apple, and Linux. Our system engineers have done many deployments of new networks and upgrades to existing setups. We have helped organizations migrate from one platform to another. This experience translates into efficient and successful projects for you.

We can help you determine which platform and version is best for you and map out a migration path for all or part of your network. Partial migrations might include: upgrading Exchange 5.5 to 2003, moving from Novell to Microsoft or vice versa, changing a Linux firewall to a hardware-based appliance.

Server Consolidation

When you have several servers on the network, this creates a highly managed network, increases potential server problems and increases your cost of operations with software licensing, hardware replacement parts, IT staff to manage your servers and server recovery. Also, very often, the servers are under utilized. By consolidating servers into less but more powerful servers, you reduce the management involved as well as your operating costs.

Deployment of New Network Services

Deployment of DNS, DHCP, RAS, VPN and WINS servers as well as other services your network may not be using help ensure your users have improved services and access to resources on your network. Upgrading intranets to Sharepoint Services is a popular solution to add many collaborative tools for users.

Optimizing & High Performance Networks

By designing and implementing highly redundant network designs and load balancing, we can improve the performance and reliability of your network.


Reduce TCO by implementing GPO (Group Policy Objects)

A group policy object (GPO) is a grouping of policies that can be applied to users or any computer running Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Examples of applicable policies include:

  • Assigning or publishing software packages
    This avoids having to manually install software on each workstation
  • Restrict the control panel to users
  • Change the desktop to users
  • Save the users’ My Documents from their desktop onto a file server (folder redirection)
  • Implement a password policy for every user
