Overview
Networks Electronic Company designs and builds high-reliability mini-pyrotechnic and ordnance solutions for the aerospace and defense industries. Since 1953, their products have flown on missiles, satellites, rockets, commercial and military aircraft and more. Their innovative and cost-effective designs have been integral components in some of the most important and complex machinery on and above the Earth. With the increased demands of the Defense industry, NEco needed real IT leadership to ensure that its network and systems were up to handling their increased capacity.
Goals
- Stabilize the existing infrastructure.
- Bring internal security up to Federal Government standards.

Solution
Defense demands were growing, and NEco needed to overhaul their IT infrastructure to increase capacity. SADA went through the process of performing a best-practices analysis, and began to replace or re-configure all network elements. SADA implemented new server systems based on Microsoft Small Business Server, and replaced firewall / routing hardware to ensure compliance with the strictest Federal standards.
