Learning how to get the most from network technology requires specialized knowledge, leaving most small businesses feeling in over their heads. At Starling Consulting, we take the anxiety out of choosing and maintaining network options. We put our combination of engineering skills and detailed knowledge of networking products to work for you. As a benefit to our local customers, Starling Consulting provides network services including consultation, design, installation, support, and maintenance.

As network consultants, our primary objective is to give clients the tools they need to make their own decisions. We remain vendor-independent, which allows us the freedom to recommend the best product(s) for each customer, always keeping their best interest in mind. Our network engineers are skilled at optimizing commercial applications and equipment for use within existing hardware constraints and have significant experience providing Internet and Intranet connectivity, support, and maintenance using a variety of architectural models. We offer design, consultation, installation, and support for both local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) environments.

Because the vast majority of our work involves confidential and sensitive data, we are well-versed in protecting sensitive data through multiple layers of security, including physical, network, database and application security mechanisms. We provide ongoing, monthly maintenance contracts and emergency support for critical network components. We also monitor professional communications channels so that we can apply hot fixes, patches, and service packs as released.

We have expertise in UNIX, Novell and NT systems, wide area networks using dedicated infrastructure or commercial frame relay. Our network staff have significant experience using a variety of architectural models including T1, dial-up solutions, Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology, and protocols such as TCP/IP, IPX, SMTP to name a few.
