NearCloud is Here!
IT
Solutions recently rebranded its local industry leading cloud
computing offering to the name NearCloud®. Previously known
as The SharedVisionTM Universal Plan, NearCloud® encompasses
the perfect combination of intimacy and collaboration with your IT
provider while alleviating any burdens of system updates and
maintenance. With NearCloud®, we move the responsibilities
and hardware costs from your hands to ours. And the plan avoids the
delay and slowness of the Internet associated with other hosting
offerings by storing servers in our highly secure state-of-the-art
data center - close enough to be fast, but far enough from your
office to make for a great disaster recovery site. As a local
service, NearCloud® offers support for your entire
organization - from cloud computing to help desk to onsite support
and Virtual CIO services.
NearCloud® distinguishes itself from most other cloud computing
offerings today because it’s exclusively meant to complement small,
medium and smaller enterprise businesses. We allow your employees to
shift their focus to what matters most, the growth of your business,
while we focus on your IT. NearCloud® also serves as our
green, eco-friendly offering. Because this is such a unique
offering, we’ve built a separate web site to promote it. To learn
more about the plan and how it can benefit your company contact

New Email
Encryption Offering!
 IT
Solutions has recently begun to offer email encryption services.
With today's online and mobile society, confidential data is always
on the move and always at risk. Our email encryption product is a
cloud-based email security solution which protects valuable and
confidential messages from being seen. This solution can encrypt
outgoing emails based on keywords in the message - for example, the
user types "encryption" in the email body and the email is
automatically encrypted. It can also detect credit card numbers and
automatically encrypt the message based on that or any number of
criteria. The recipient gets an email saying that an encrypted
message is waiting for them on a web portal and they click the link
to retrieve it.

Komando

permission from the
Microsoft Small Business website
 Whether it's a few
PCs or hundreds on your network, there's one thing that can
separate your system from being compromised: a great
password.
Why? Hackers want
access to anything and everything. If they can guess your
user name and password, you might as well have given them
your wallet and the keys to your building.
Before we talk
about what makes a good password, let's begin with the first
of five things to know and practice in using passwords.

Bioquell technology kills ‘bugs’. Its unique hydrogen
peroxide vapor (HPV) bio-decontamination technology is used
throughout the US and across the world to eradicate
problematic bacteria (including ‘superbugs’ like C difficile
and MRSA), viruses and fungi. Whether in the healthcare,
life sciences, defense or food processing/manufacture
industries, deployment of Bioquell's HPV process provides
residue-free, safe and repeatable sterilization of rooms,
buildings, equipment and sensitive electronics.
Bioquell is a world leader in the design, manufacture and
application of complete solutions for airborne and surface
bio-contamination. Producing a wide range of innovative
bio-decontamination equipment/products, Bioquell is a proud
representative of the environmentally friendly alternative
to traditional decontaminants such as formaldehyde or
chlorine-based products.
In addition to the HPV technology, Bioquell also specializes
in ozone technology and advanced airborne gas/particulate
filtering. As part of this range, bespoke chemical,
biological, radioactive and nuclear (CBRN) filtration
equipment is provided for different applications in the
defense industry. This equipment is complemented by integral
air conditioning systems and auxiliary power units.
Bioquell came to IT Solutions to alleviate some of the daily
burdens associated with their highly sophisticated network.
It is through the
SharedVision Guardian Plan which ITS’s network services
and help desk engineers provide ongoing support, spam
filtering and anti-virus services. In addition to the
ongoing support the Guardian plan provides, ITS works with
