Why Choose N-VOLV technologies?

N-VOLV is an industry leader in Information Technology, Network Engineering, System Integration, and Security. We have a wide variety of experience and technical knowledge gained while working for well-know companies such as Sybase, HP, Microsoft, Oracle, BEA WebLogic, and many others. Our consulting experts manage large, complex projects in a wide variety of markets to give our clients value-rich consulting services, based on an unmatched breadth and depth of expertise.

System Administration is separated into four main areas: Configuration Management

Configuration management includes functions to control the configuration of network, system, or layer entities. Supporting this area are functions to:

  1. create, delete, examine, and change sets of management information that describe parts of a system
  2. examine and be notified of changes in the state of the system to monitor overall operability and use of the system and give or withhold permission for the use of specific components
  3. examine the relationships among various parts of the system to see how the operation of one part of the system depends upon or is depended upon by other parts

Performance Management
Performance management provides the services needed to measure and maintain communication service quality objectives. Also included are functions to observe, track, store, and analyze performance information associated with network components operating either under normal or controlled conditions. Fault Management
Functions within fault management provide the services needed to detect, isolate, and correct problems in network components. Supporting fault management are functions to control the sending and logging of received event (e.g., error) reports, manipulate event logs, execute diagnostic tests, trace faults, and initiate the correction of faults. Security Management
Security management is concerned with system security management, and the management of security services and mechanisms. Examples include overall security policy management, distribution of cryptographic keys, event generation and reporting, the setting of administratively-imposed security selection parameters, the reporting of security-relevant events (audit trails), and service activation and deactivation.

Information is one of the most important and valuable assets of any organization. From corporate boardrooms to the modern battlefield, information and the flow of information is the key to success. Therefore, it is imperative that the information is not only available when needed, but also secure. At N-VOLV, we are committed to ensuring your information and your networks are as secure as possible.

The growth of the internet has increased the flow of information but, it has also increased the threat to the security of that information. Although it is easier for authorized individuals to gain access to your information, it is just as easy for unauthorized individuals. Realistically, anyone connected to the internet is at some level of risk.

At Exceptional Software, we believe in a comprehensive approach to Information Security. Our skilled engineers will work with you to assess your network(s) from both an external and an internal point of view. From this assessment, we can help you to implement all of your information security needs.

We have experience in the following areas:

  • Vulnerability Assessments
  • Penetration Testing
  • Applications and software development
  • Secure data storage
  • Policies and procedures
  • Computer Network Operations (CNO)
  • Certification and accreditation guidance
  • Firewalls and IDS
  • Virus and spam protection and prevention
  • PKI
  • Security Awareness

Geographic Information Systems

At N-VOLV technologies, geographic information systems (GIS) consultants specialize in systems for data warehousing and mining, data analysis and visualization, and information distribution and publishing. Our GIS consultants utilize the latest tools while building custom interfaces to provide recognizable relationships in your data.

Information Analysis

Geographic information is more than displaying points on a map; it is about understanding information relationships. It is estimated that over 75% of all data contains some geographic information. N-VOLV's GIS consultants not only provide methods to display this data, but they examine, analyze, and create visualization relationships that address customer needs and project future trends.

  • 3-D Visualization
  • 3-D data visualization provides another essential element for better analysis of critical geospatial information. N-VOLV's GIS consultants
  • utilize 3-D visualization to display detailed information such as line-of-sight, elevation and vehicle attitudes including heading, pitch and roll.
