JKS Infrastructure Solutions - Zone Cabling

JKS Infrastructure Solutions

4 Major Benefits of Zone Cabling

Zone cabling supports convergence of data and voice networks, wireless (Wi-Fi) device uplink connections, and a wide range of sensors, control panels, and detectors for lighting, security, and other building communications.

1.      Flexible Infrastructure: Zone cabling is a highly flexible infrastructure that is ideally suited for the convergence of voice, data, wireless, and building device applications over one managed network.

2.      Easy deployment of devices and apps: Furthermore, outlets serving voice/data, wireless, and building device connections can be conveniently combined within one SCP. Zone cabling solutions support rapid reorganization of work areas and equipment and simplify deployment of new devices and applications.

3.      Cost Reduction: With this type of infrastructure, moves, adds, and changes (MACs) are less costly, faster to implement, and less disruptive6 because changes are limited to the cabling segment between the SO/TO and SCP instead of the entire length of horizontal cabling.

4.      Quick Implementation: In addition, zone cabling designs allow the option of deploying factory preterminated and tested trunking cables to support quick implementation, performance exceeding field terminations, and reduced field testing times.

**JKS is partnered with Siemon.

JKS Infrastructure - Carrier Grade Solutions / BVOIP Cloud Session Border Control

There are a number of fundamental reasons why simple NAT and PAT are insufficient to resolve NAT traversal issues for VoIP traffic in general and for SIP signaling specifically. A small subset of the reasons:

The SIP Standard requires a number of header fields to be specified, some of which need to contain the IP Address where responses need to be sent to. Since NAT and PAT operate only on the IP headers, and not on the UDP Payload, the WAN-to-LAN device does not address this issue at all.

SIP does not only perform the tasks of setting up, adjusting calls, and tearing down calls, but also incorporates the media codec negotiation phase inside an embedded protocol called SDP (Session Description Protocol). Again, the WAN-to-LAN device does not address this additional content at NAT or PAT level.

The BVoIP SBC is a carrier grade solution that can provide service to tens of thousands of endpoints. Phones or other SIP devices will have a configuration field for a “SIP proxy” server and port - when pointed to the SBC, all SIP packet rewriting for NAT support is handled automatically. This eliminates the need to use STUN, sbc2TURN, ICE, VPN, Tunnel or any other method to handle NAT.

The Session Border Controller allows VoIP sessions to succeed when one or more VoIP endpoints (such as analog phone adapters, gateways or IP phones) are in a NAT environment. It takes all of the mess out of connecting remote devices back to a SIP server and greatly simplifies your deployment! This offering is designed to work as an intermediary between endpoint devices made by Yealink, Cisco, Snom, Polycom, Fanvil and more!

Consider a technology symposium to promote your business

The 1st Annual Technology Symposium was in April at Maneeley's Grand Ballroom in South Windsor. The central focus of the symposium was to enable attendees to learn about the latest technology and security solutions and to get hands-on experience with innovative products and services.

Vendor booths were set up to give the attendees the chance to meet with each vendor one-on-one and to see demonstrations of solutions. Vendors also hosted presentation sessions and covered information about IT Infrastructure, Collaboration, Security, Data Solutions, and Professional IT Services. Each session ended with a Q&A period to allow open discussion about the topics.

The symposium was a joint venture between JKS and other vendors including: Array Networks, Assa Abloy, FAS Associates, Secure Infrastructure and Services, Emerson Network Power, KABA Access and Data Systems, Vijilan Security, Hitachi Cable, Axis Communications, BVoIP, Datto, Eaton, IQ Telecom, The Siemon Company, and Connecticut Technology Council.

JKS is an IT Infrastructure company founded in 2005 by John Fritz that provides tailored Infrastructure, Collaboration, Security, Data Solutions, and Professional Services. Their services include: cloud, data, security, fiber optic and structured cabling, A/V, PA, VoIP, wireless, virtualization, backup, disaster recovery, office security, CCTV, and more.

The event was highly successful and informative for both attendees and vendors alike. One attendee, Bokul Bhuiya, said, "As an executive recruiter, I attend many seminars, conferences, and networking events. I must admit, this annual Technology and Security Symposium hosted by JKS Systems was one of the most productive, informative, well-planned, and successful events I have attended, and hoping to remain a part of any/all future events. The JKS team was extremely hospitable, willing to take the extra step to assist in any way possible. This displayed John Fritz' style and approach to running his business."

Alex LaCroix, of Axis Communications said, "I attended the 1st Annual JKS Technology Symposium and thought the event was beneficial for exhibitors and attendees alike. Not only was the symposium held in a very nice facility, but JKS did an excellent job making sure the event went off without a hitch. I was able to present our products in front of a captive audience that, in turn, attracted attendees to my booth and led to meaningful leads. I look forward to JKS's next event."

Although the ever-changing technology trends can be difficult to keep up with, it is important for businesses to keep abreast of the changes if they want to remain competitive. This symposium gives attendees a way to do just that in a more cost-effective and time-saving way.

"The symposium went very well and presented a unique opportunity to bring vendors and consumers together. This was the perfect forum for consumers to learn about new technology and for vendors to showcase their solutions." said Jack Pragosa, COO of JKS Systems. "We are already planning the 2nd Annual Technology Symposium for May of 2017."

Is your Business Safe and Secure?? Do you backup your data?? 70% of businesses that suffer a serious data loss are out of business in two years

In today’s world, technology is a key aspect to all parts of your business. From accounting and management to day-to-day communication, more and more parts of your business are performed solely on computers. Companies must take advantage of today’s technology to stay competitive. Email is the preferred method of communication and computers are integral for executing transactions and storing valuable data. With the importance of computers and technology, it is critical that every organization has a complete solution to deal with the threat of data loss.

In the past, companies have backed up their data using magnetic tapes which were then typically stored off-site. While a usable method for incrementally backing up data off-site, this process is tedious and time-consuming. For small businesses without a dedicated IT staff, maintaining an up-to-date tape library can be easily overlooked and can result in permanent data loss.

Small to medium businesses can suffer severe repercussions if their critical data is not securely backed up at an off-site location. A fire, power surge, hardware failure, or even basic operator error can wipe out years of data. According to IDC (a leading market research firm), less than 40% of all small to medium-sized businesses properly and regularly backup their data. These businesses cannot afford to lose time attempting to rebuild their lost, vital information.

In order to prevent such a situation from happening, it is imperative that an off-site storage system be used, providing secure copies of all data. Off-site backup devices ensure that if physical disaster (fire, flood, theft, etc.) were to strike your data center and/or office, all lost information can be retrieved from the off-site location. Most off-site backup options use the Internet to transfer data back to the business location. It can take weeks, or even months, to download all of a company’s data from the web. With Datto backup solutions, a new device can be overnight shipped to your location with all of your otherwise-lost data. This allows businesses to recover multiple terabytes of information in 24 hours, which would be nearly impossible through Internet transfer.

To quickly recover from hardware failures, viruses, or accidental deletion, it is important to have an on-site backup in addition to the off-site copy. This backup allows businesses to quickly recover from data loss due to common causes. When creating a business continuity plan, it’s important to take both on-site and off-site backup into consideration.

When it comes to keeping your information backed up, Datto offers an affordable and easy total solution. Datto provides a simple, secure, and automatic method for both on-site and off-site data storage in one simple and easy to use device. Each Datto solution is a specifically designed Network Attached Storage (NAS) device operating as a secure location to backup files. The device creates an encrypted copy of all files stored at the on-site location at dual secure data centers located on the east and west US coasts. In the event of accidental deletion, files can quickly be restored to the device. If the Datto device is ever damaged or destroyed, a new device with all data and settings from the original unit is overnight shipped to your location, providing rapid recovery.

Datto backup solutions ensure your vital information is always safe and secure, making the once painful chore of on and off-site data backup easy and reliable.
