PORTFOLIO

Peris Companies:

Peris Companies Inc Peris Companies is a tenant build-out general contractor serving the Washington D.C. Metro area that has relied on Tough Guy Computing since 1999. With more than 20 desktop and laptop PCs, six servers and a multi-tenant building with DSL connection available for all tenants, Peris turned to Tough Guy to solve their internal and external network needs.

For Peris Companies' multi-tenant building, each tenant shares a single broadband DSL connection. Tough Guy Computing implemented a multi-subnet architecture, protected behind a NAT firewall with a common DNS server provides network resolution. This provided redundancy and reliability for the DSL connection for tenants.

Tough Guy Computing implemented an economical fax solution using the Windows 2000 Server fax software to answer all incoming faxes and forward it to a common email box. A Microsoft Exchange Server provides email communication.

Tough Guy enabled Peris Companies' employees to access much-needed key systems remotely through several solutions. A separate web server provides web-based email access via Outlook Web Access to remote and off-site employees. Authorized remote users also have access to the company's financial applications and user files. Several field employees also have nearly continuous connection with a laptop, BlackBerry and Verizon Wireless Broadband Internet connection (via an Aircard).

Tough Guy Computing has managed two major upgrades over the years, first from Windows 95 to Windows 98, and later from Windows 98 to Windows 2000. Several application upgrades have been successfully completed, including third party applications. Tough Guy also installed an enterprise wide anti-virus software solution.
