Business IT network support and installation

IT Networks Designed to Fit Your Business Needs

We can design your entire business network completely from scratch, starting with running cable in a new or existing facility, purchasing the right equipment to fit your budget, and ending with a fast, friendly installation. The result is a reliable and stable computer network. We also offer several IT network support options to keep your new equipment running. All our IT networking engineers and support staff are located in our Lexington, KY location.

As we grew into a larger company, Next Century kept us up to date with the latest technologies and today we have 29 different locations (all networked together) in real time.

Expert Business IT Network Installation, Security and Support

Keeping Your IT Networks Secure

Nowadays the most common threat to a business network comes in the form of malware, ransomware and viruses that are prevalent in the internet and e-mail. Just having a firewall and anti-virus is not enough. Elements of good network security include:

  • Firewall (both hardware and software)
  • Up-to-date, full-featured anti-virus and anti-malware software
  • Web filtering to block phishing attempts and dubious websites
  • Spam filtering to not just block junk mail, but to strip out viruses and embedded links to viruses
  • Updates for all operating systems on all desktops, laptops and servers
  • Updates for popular web software that is vulnerable to hacking such as Flash and Java
  • Properly secured wi-fi network – Don’t let your guests surf your server's data!
  • Vulnerability scans to identify software and hardware on the network that have well-documented vulnerabilities
  • Log management and archiving
  • Encrypting e-mails
  • Encryption on laptops or other portable devices with sensitive data
  • A reliable and professional business continuity product such as Datto, to protect the most critical part of your business – its data
