Why the WAMS Cloud Connect
Storing your data in the cloud (also referred to as cloud computing or cloud networking), has been and will continue to be the trend for data storage for many reasons. Though we originally started 40 years ago servicing clients with traditional , on-site networks in Los Angeles and Orange County, you can now become a WAMS Cloud client from any location in the world. The WAMS Cloud Connect delivers your entire network securely, reliably, and cost effectively. Here’s how:
- The WAMS Cloud Connect is built on industry leading data centers to ensure high availability and unparalleled security. Your data is encrypted and is always being backed-up. This means you are no longer vulnerable to disasters, theft, or hardware failures. We add additional layers of security, such as two-factor authentication and secondary backup/replication for advanced security.
- WAMS Cloud Connect is an all-inclusive platform, meaning that all of your data, applications/software, email, files/folders, EVERYTHING is centralized and streamed to you via a remote desktop. It’s just like what you’re used to today, except that you have no servers to purchase, upgrade and maintain on-site.
- The WAMS Cloud Connect is designed especially for law firms—built with law-industry-specific security measures and compatibilities in place.
- Your team can access your entire network (applications/software, files and folders, data, email, etc.) from any device by logging into a secure portal. They can also access the data on the cloud network from any location and it appears and functions just like they’re used to with an on-site network, except they don’t have to be physically in the office.
- For the end user, the WAMS Cloud Connect is easy to use and allows them to be more productive.
- All support, training, Microsoft licensing, and seamless cloud updates are included in one monthly flat rate. This means never having to worry about expensive software or hardware updates (which also take more time to upgrade and update).

ManagedCare Server
Interested in cutting your IT spending by 30% to 50% while also increasing its security, performance and uptime? WAMS provides you with ongoing, proactive server maintenance and support to keep your servers up and running optimally. Here’s what’s involved:
- One of our senior network engineers will perform regular, scheduled maintenance on your network each month which consists of updating your virus protection, checking your critical firewall and security settings, installing software patches and security updates, and conducting a series of system optimization tasks to keep your network running at maximum speed and performance.
- Remote monitoring of your network 24x7x365 days a year to detect, diagnose, and prevent lurking problems from turning into major interruptions to your business in the form of downtime, security breaches, or other failures.
- We design the right mix of on-site, remote, network, and help desk support to fit your needs.
- We assume full responsibility of all servers on your network including completely restoring the server to full functionality in the event of a hardware or software failure.


ManagedCare Desktop
- 24X7X365 desktop monitoring to proactively address issues.
- Remote installation of software patches and security updates.
- Anti-virus monitoring for updates every 4 hours to ensure the latest anti-virus definition files are always installed; a Webroot Enterprise Anti-virus and Anti-spyware License for each desktop is included at no additional cost.
- Daily spyware scan and removal and bi-weekly temporary file and Internet debris removal to keep computers from getting bogged down, slow, and susceptible to viruses.
- Bi-weekly temporary file and Internet debris removal.
- A LogMeIn Pro license for every desktop at no additional cost.

ManagedCare Backup & Disaster Recovery
- A special NAS (Network Attached Storage) Server at your location which provides continuous, image-based snapshots of your servers every 15 minutes and is also being automatically encrypted and replicated to multiple secure offsite data centers to protect your data.
- Proactive monitoring of the NAS Server and management of your backups on a 24x7x365 basis.
- We confirm that your backups are working properly. Every day.
- Monthly backup integrity and failover server testing performed, giving you peace of mind that the backups are reliable.
- Should a server fail, there’s automatic creation of a fully functional, virtual replica of the downed server in a matter of minutes on the NAS Server. In this event, the NAS Server effectively becomes the downed server so that user disruption is minimized and the downed server can be brought back to full functionality offline while the backups continue.
- Should a major catastrophe occur, your servers can be hosted virtually at the data center. Or, we can arrange to deliver a new NAS Server the next day that will contain the most current data loaded at the data center to a location you specify.
- Whether you need to recover a folder, particular file or email, or keep the network running during a disaster or server failure, we manage the entire process.


Email Continuity/Security
Email Spam and viruses can abruptly halt and clog your daily work flow. With 2 million new viruses estimated per month (according to McAfee), you’re at high risk for this less-than-convenient pandemic. WAMS takes a pro-active approach to spam and virus protection, utilizing technology that stops malicious emails from ever even entering your inbox with these tactics:
- Anti-spam services that filter all incoming email for spam. All such email is sequestered in a web-based Spam Filter for each user’s review.
- Our email security solution reduces network traffic and the risk of infection.
- A cloud portal that enables you to still send and receive email even if your Exchange server goes down.
- Suspected emails containing malware or viruses are filtered through our solution before they even reach your Exchange server.


Network Security
- Remote monitoring of your network 24x7x365 days a year to detect, diagnose, and prevent lurking problems from turning into major interruptions to your business in the form of downtime, security breaches, or other failures.

- We utilize top-of-the-line firewalls with intrusion detection and prevention, gateway anti-virus, gateway anti-spyware, content filtering, 24×7 Technical Support, and a hardware replacement warranty for the life of the contract.
- We install and maintain systems that reside on the firewall as well as systems that reside on the individual servers and desktops.
- We provide environmental monitoring and alerts for electrical, air conditioning, and humidity problems.
- We review your network and advise you of security vulnerabilities and recommend software and hardware solutions.
- We have software solutions for monitoring network traffic. Worried that streaming applications such as Internet radio and Internet TV will use all of the available bandwidth and slow down the network? We can lock the network down from these productivity thieves with the installation of software or appliances.
