CEDX

Crest Hollow Country Club

CEDX was chosen to install a Wi-Fi network for the Crest Hollow Country Club, the premier event facility located in Woodbury, Long Island.  We installed an 802.11G network providing complete coverage throughout the facility, with the capability of turning individual rooms on and off, without any  computer skills, and according to the booking needs of the management.  VoWiFi is fully supported and has been tested with Zyxel Prestige 2000W phones.  The system made its official debut for the November 2004 CEWIT conference.

Network Management Systems

CEDX will build or extend a Network Management System to suit your business requirements.  If you just need some basic link monitoring setup with MRTG on Wintel or Linux, we can do that.  If you require  event-driven, rules based root cause analysis, logging, notification, and paging built around a commercial solution like HP OpenView, we do that too.

Your average, everyday network manager would love to have the time to build one of these systems, but we never seem to be able to carve out the time to do it properly while fighting fires and supporting new production requirements.  CEDX takes your wish list and makes it happen.  We'll give you trend reporting, alarming, and paging.  We'll also pick the right products for your budget and requirements, since we're not beholden to any one vendor.

We'll integrate your product specific management applications into a larger, unified framework, so that a network operations person clicking on an icon or event in the NMS will have the appropriate management tool for that device started up.  Very handy in a large, multivendor network.

We could probably build it out of open source stuff too.  Nobody's asked us to yet.  Why not be the first?

OpenVMS Services

CEDX started out in 1997 by offering OpenVMS system management and integration services.  The granddaddy of all clustering technology, OpenVMS is now affordable for most businesses, and can provide a cost-effective, stable server platform for low-end implementations, and the highest of high end, secure applications.  This is the OS model that the Windows Server family was built on.  If you're uncomfortable with Linux or open source, you can get off the Windows upgrade treadmill by migrating to OpenVMS.  Even though Digital, Compaq, and HP have bungled its marketing over the years, it still retains a hard-core following. There are so many critical systems built around it that the nation's financial and military systems would grind to a halt if it were to disappear. For that reason, OpenVMS has a secure future for some time to come.  For more information about our capabilities and offerings, email us at OpenVMS@cedx.com

VPN Services

CEDX will design, install, and maintain VPNs for firms, both site-to-site and remote access. Cisco PIX, Cisco IOS, Netopia, whatever your preferred vendor, or already installed equipment is, we'll make it work.

Wireless Network Integration

CEDX designs, installs, and maintains unlicensed wireless networks.  WLAN, WWAN, enterprise and public nets are all within our purview.  We use products from Cisco, Alvarion, Motorola, Dlink, Linksys, SmartBridges, Sputnik, and whatever manufacturer will fit the bill for your solution.
We've installed wireless networks in locations as diverse as Reuters' 3 Times Square Tower, Fire Island, Penn Station, and Rockabilly Barbers.  Recently, we have completed and maintain a Tropos muni wi-fi installation for New Rochelle, NY.  Our Fire Island Wireless network is our testbed for new products, engineering techniques, and operational procedures.  We have the depth of experience and breadth of abilities to find the right fit for you.

Our mobile solution, Wi-RAN, gives transportation companies a new way of attracting passengers and increasing operational capabilities.  Now your customers can surf the web from their coach or train seats, giving urban planners a powerful tool to enhance smart growth strategies and transit oriented development.

 

We work with clients to strain the alphabet soup and find them a cost-effective, appropriate way to utilize wireless technology.  Analyzing your business requirements, we will help you find the best technology fit for your needs and budget.  We leverage our 5 years of market experience in operating public Wi-Fi networks to assist us in helping you decide what the right solution is for your company.  If the correct tool to implement your goals is a carrier-based wireless WAN, we're not afraid to say so.

Navigating the maze of choices among carriers and technologies to get your business where it needs to be is our specialty, and we show you the best way in a vendor-neutral manner.

Network Performance

If you have a networked application and can't figure out why its running so slowly, or if it has particular behaviors that are giving you issues, CEDX will help identify and fix those problems.  We have extensive experience in troubleshooing multi-platform, multi-protocol, and multi-vendor networks and will help you target your spending on the correct fixes, instead of throwing more money at shotgun approaches.  We have the tools to bring onsite to do a proper analysis, and will help you instrument your network to help you keep on top of your systems.
