Email servers are a lost art and most IT companies put very little effort towards making their email server comply with all modern ISO and RFC standards.

We work continually to make sure that our email servers are as close to 'gold' standard as possible.

Most people think that backing up their files to a service such as Mozy will keep all their files protected from loss.

Unfortunately services such as Mozy have something called "File Masks" that by default do not save many critical file types. You could be unprotected and be completely unaware of it.

Surge Protectors

Think of them as glorified power strips. Even though they claim to have a warranty in case of surge damage, actually claiming your warranty is a quite different matter. Their protection is extremely limited and wears out after a year or two.

If you want to protect your computer, theater or server, you need to buy a battery with AVR technology in it (Automatic Voltage Regulation - about $100-$150). Unfortunately for servers, you will probably need to buy a server grade APC battery to protect it which start at around $500.

Anti-Virus is a PREVENTIVEmeasure only.

Once you have been infected with a virus, most likely your anti-virus is worthless.

Wireless a, b, g, n?

A and B are the oldest, slowest, and have the least range. G is pretty old, and N is the newest. If you have both a wireless N transmitter and a wireless N card, you can get amazing range and speed out of your wireless network.

Even so, wireless is still an imperfect technology and should not be used for mission critical systems.

Adware and Spyware are no better than viruses.

They limit functionality of your computer, slow you down, degrade your computer experience, spy on your computer use, and advertise to you.

Most consultants charge upwards of $160 to $180 per hour just to talk to you about what they can do for you.

Frankly, we just like talking with good people over a good cup of coffee. That is why our consultations are free of charge, and why we always bring coffee.

When buying networking equipment, remember that cooling is key. A well cooled system will run faster and live longer.

Network equipment contained in a plastic case is usually designed to fail after a certain number of years.

Newer Canon printers cost the same as HP, Lexmark, and Epson but have a higher photo quality print to them. They also cost significantly less for ink.

If you print mostly black, a black laser printer will save you a lot of money in the long run over traditional inkjet printers.

There are many 'fake' antivirus programs out there that infect your computer when you visit a website.

Remember, install a good antivirus and if you ever get a window that appears when you visit a website that says, "You are infected!" just close the window out and do not run any programs it offers you.

Too much spam in your inbox?

A technology called SPF, designed for wide use in 2004, when combined with other filtering software and technologies, virtually eliminates most spam.  If you still receive too much spam in your inbox, your provider is probably not enforcing SPF.

Delta End is SPF complaint and enforces SPF strict rules for all email.

Some people will recommend a browser such as Google Chrome, Safari, Opera, or Firefox to you over Internet Explorer, touting security or speed as a reason to switch.

Internet Explorer is the most developed web browser of all time and contains many security features which are not found in other browsers. The reason Internet Explorer may seem to have more issues is usually due to the fact you have too many foreign programs installing Browser Helper Objects into Internet Explorer and they are messing it up. This isn't to say that other browsers are bad, but it is better to fix a problem than it is to simply work around it.

System Security Analysis :
Here at Delta End, our brains are always thinking about four things when it comes to working with our clients. Quality, Cost, Ease of Use, and Security. We are very concerned about the security of your private and personal information. From easy to guess passwords to systems that have already been compromised, we can analyze and reorganize your current structure to significantly increase your security level. Many times, expensive, unnecessary steps are taken to secure a computer system when all that is needed is a simple modification. Other times, there are massive security holes in a network which pose a significant threat. Either way, Delta End can give peace of mind through recommending exactly what you need based upon your risk level. *

Have us give you a free consultation today!

Computer Forensics :
Are you a legal firm who needs to gain evidence in a trial? Are you a company manager and you want to make sure that your employee's have been totally honest with their time? Do you suspect that you children are getting into something that they shouldn't? Delta End owns many tools to preserve evidence without accusation of corruption. We proceed through forensics cases with three things in mind:

  • Preservation of evidence through witnesses, special hardware and software, read-only data copies of suspected hard drives, and video documentation (when needed).
  • Documentation of every step for accurate and thoroughly evidence.
  • Simplifying the complicated for easy to understand results.

Every situation is different and so should be your forensics solution. We would love to sit down over a good cup of coffee and discuss your current needs. *

Spyware and Adware Removal:
Popups have you down? Does your mailbox fill with more spam than you could possibly have ever imagined was possible? These could be indicators of the presence of adware and spyware in your system. Spyware spies on your website and email usage reporting back to someone what email addresses you have in your contacts list and what websites you go to. It does this to better advertise to you. Adware sends popups to you telling you that your computer is needing to optimized or fixed, that you have won $1,000, or that your free prize is waiting for you. These programs slip into your system when you install something from the internet like a free game, email software, or others. They not only pose a security risk but they slow your computer down, send you popups and spam, and they monitor your every move on the internet. Only one out of 6 computers on average are NOT infected with spyware or adware. We can positively identify and remove most adware and spyware commonly used on the market today.

System Optimization :
Have you noticed how your computer becomes slower with time? That is a sign that your computer software has begun to slow down your system. We can speed up many systems back to their original speed using a combination on techniques. We can evaluate the specific balance that your system needs in order to bring it back to optimal levels of speed then we adjust it accordingly. We also do an advanced defrag, scandisk, upgrades, and several other things to clean out and give your system a fresh start. If you don't notice a change, you don't pay!

Hardware Recycling :
Have an older system or other hardware in good condition? We will give you the best trade-in deal out there.

Offsite Data Backup :
