Microsoft

Tricord Data are working towards their Gold Partner status with Microsoft as a way of demonstrating our commitment and knowledge of Microsoft technologies.

Microsoft Server 2003/2008:

The team have worked within both Blue Chip and SME environments gaining a wealth of knowledge of Microsoft Server technologies.  We have operational experience of secure Data Centre and office environments and our team is accustomed to working in mobile and critical locations. Our experience with Windows Server has raised the status of Hewlett Packard hardware as an outstanding supplier of compliant systems.  We predominantly use HP hardware to support our internal systems and therefore have long standing relationships with Westcoast and other HP distributers and parts suppliers in the UK.

Microsoft Security:

We specialise in Internet and Public Sector Microsoft security services by advising and implementing security best practice through understanding the principles of Common Criteria. We balance the business and security needs of our clients to ensure that the insecureconstituent parts of a system are integrated into an overall

 

secure solution.  We maintain effective security vulnerability monitoring and advice on patch maintenance. We ensure that all OS hardening undergoes penetration testing and provide open and honest reporting service for existing systems.  We have extensive experience of hardening Internet Information Server for internet facing and secure internal environments; including secure content management staging and promotion.

Microsoft XP/Vista:

We have reduced the total cost of ownership of workstations and laptops through the standardisation and rationalisation of generic and automated OS builds.  We design and implement automated application deployment solutions.  We provide strategic application and system reviews including product roadmap services providing co-existence of complex and wide-ranging applications.

Microsoft Virtualisation and Automation:

With the growth of virtualisation we have embraced the implementation of both workstation and server virtualisation products.  We have demonstrated the cost benefits of visualisation from product licensing to development and proof of concept environments.
