CONNECTED SOLUTIONS
Smart products and connected solutions are becoming more common. Having device capable of transferring information to a central monitoring location has obvious benefits, improving management and issue response times.
ADVANCED METER INFRASTRUCTURE (AMI) SMART METER
Silver Ridge are implementing AMI Smart meters as part of the nationwide roll-out project for TNB. The Smart Meters not only receive usage information from the premises but can automatically alert TNB to issues such as power failure and meter tampering.
The Smart meter not only enables TNB to monitor their customers usage more effectively, it also empowers them by providing a much greater degree of transparency. Customers can monitor their usage, set appointments and billing information via the TNB app. They can make an impact towards a greener Malaysia by making smart decisions based on frequent monitoring of their use, decreasing power generation and, hence, reduce emissions.
Network security is the term given to a multitude of technologies, devices and processes deployed to prevent, detect and monitor computer networks. These solutions aim to protect the integrity, confidentiality and availability of computer networks using both software and hardware technologies.
Modern network architecture is complex and faces and ever-changing threat environment. Attackers are always seeking ways to find and exploit vulnerabilities in systems that will grant them a foothold in your operation. These vulnerabilities can exist anywhere in devices, data, applications and even end users.
Network security is formally conceptualised as a layered process; each solution added to a network offering an additional layer of protection. This idea is somewhat outdated, with modern network security more akin to a row of shields; only one exploitation or misconfiguration is needed for attackers to gain access to your network. Deploying your own solution can be difficult, which is why Silver Ridge have partnered with some of the top names in the business to deliver bespoke security solutions tailored to your organisation’s needs.
TELCAAP DATA ANALYTICS SOLUTION
Silver Ridge have partnered with Eastcom to bring their Telephone Call Accounting & Auditing Package (TELCAAP) to large organisations around Malaysia. This solution performs BIG DATA ANALYTICS on raw PABX communication data collected from multiple locations, presents it concisely in detailed costing reports per department/branch and thus assists in optimising expenditure.
Computer networks have become such a part of everyday life that most people take them for granted. Without wide availability of modern data communication and technologies, modern life would be very different. The rise of The Internet of Things has brought even more devices into an already crowded marketplace, adding a further degree of complexity for the engineers and architects responsible for configuring and installing networks.
CCTV & VIDEO MONITORING SOLUTION
Closed-Circuit Television and Video Management Systems are related technologies that contribute toward safeguarding your company assets and premises. The CCTV unit acts as the visual monitor, acting as a point-in-time observer to a required location. Running CCTV by itself is not useful without an active viewer- this is where VMS solutions come into play. A VMS collects video from CCTV (and other sources), stores recordings for review and provides an interface for accessing both live feeds and historical captures.
Modern CCTV/VMS offer smart features, the functionality of which greatly extends their capabilities. VMS solutions may incorporate Motion Detection, Distributed Processing, Object Recognition, Single Stream/Multiple Views, etc.
NETWORK MONITORING SYSTEMS
Network monitoring systems constantly analyse the traffic flowing across a network, reporting abnormalities, bottlenecks, failed routing components and other issues that may impact the availability of data services for network users. Network devices form the backbone for data delivery across any organisation and it is vital to take a proactive approach to corrective action, minimising downtime and costly delays in data delivery.
eLEARNING SOLUTIONS
Silver Ridge have successfully completed multiple contracts to provide Smart Learning and e-Learning solutions to classrooms in various parts of the country. The materials include novel learning applications, bespoke text books, high-quality teacher reference material and ebook accompaniments. Our focus for serving these materials are the more remote/rural areas of the country; areas where teachers and students will benefit most from additional materials aimed at breathing new life into subjects.
Our solutions are sourced from overseas and are proven to bring about improvements in student understanding and engagement. We have previously supplied materials to pre-school and primary school aged students, but are prepared to bring change to any classroom age or ability.
Load balancing solutions provide efficient distribution of incoming network traffic across a group of back-end servers. Modern high-traffic websites must serve thousands, if not millions, of concurrent requests from users/clients and return the correct text/images/ video/application data in a fast and reliable manner.
To cost-effectively scale to meet these demands, modern computing best practices generally recommend adding more servers. The load balancing solution acts as a routing agent, distributing incoming client requests evenly across the servers to best utilise the full capacity of the hardware and ensure no one server is overworked. Loads are fragmented based on a set of predefined metrics, such as geographic location or number of concurrent requests. This helps ensure high data availability and reliability. The ability to add/remove servers as demand requires is another scalability feature made possible by load balancing.
SMART HOME & CITY
Smart Home typically refers to a modern home setup where one or many appliances or devices can be automatically controlled remotely from anywhere with an internet connection via a phone or network connected gadget. Examples are typically home security, temperature regulation, lighting control, etc., but with the expansion of the Internet of Things, the number of connected appliances and devices found at home has risen exponentially, leading to limitless opportunities.
Silver Ridge also offer a range of smart city products, such as smart streetlight. These systems incorporate a cluster of lamps that can communicate with each other, providing lighting data to a local concentrator. The concentrator manages and transmits relevant data to a secure server, capturing the data and presenting it in a dashboard. Monitored street lights help reduce maintenance costs and, as every lamp has a unique ID, issues can quickly be pinpointed.
Another smart city solution offered by Silver Ridge are smart parking systems. These provide a variety of advantages to end users over the conventional parking experience. Moving services into a connected system, enabling remote payment management via a smartphone application, greatly improves the user experience. Other solutions exist to assist in finding a space near a desired location or to avoid areas with heavy traffic, thereby streamlining the parking process, saving time and stress experienced by end users.
WAN Optimisation solutions are technologies and techniques used to maximise the efficiency of data flow across a Wide Area Network (WAN), such as the connectivity between an organisation’s centralised data centre and it’s remote locations. Enterprise WAN use these solutions to increase the speed with which end users access business-critical applications and information, improving issues with network latency, minimising packet loss and mitigating capacity limitations.
WAN optimisation tools have been around since the early days of Wide Area Networking, when bandwidth requirements first started to exceed availability. At the time connectivity options were limited, with organisations often turning to expensive Multi-protocol Label Switching solutions to connect branch offices to datacentres. By focusing on optimising the WAN, network managers are able to achieve more efficient use of their bandwidth, improving application performance without dramatically increasing costs.
GREEN SOLUTIONS
Silver Ridge understand the changing state of our planet’s ecosystem and the additional strain brought about by the convinience of modern living. We seek to offset these effects by deploying innovative new solutions that reduce the impact to our environment; products and services which can solve an immediate problem without passing a burden on to generations yet to come.
BIOMASS INCINERATOR
Silver Ridge are bringing clean, safe incineration solutions into the region to help reduce reliance on waste dumping and preserve our ecosystem for generations to come. The range of solutions are suited for remote areas and intended to be simple to operate, empowering small communities to reduce the impact municipal waste has on their environment. The innovative pollution control systems safely trap any hazardous by-products of the incineration process that would otherwise decay and contaminate local water sources.
Private Automated Branch Exchange (PABX) technology is deployed to allow a single access number to provide several lines to outside callers while providing a range of external lines to internal staff. PABX takes care of all the switching required for making internal calls within an organisation and provides a connection between internal extensions and external phone lines. The switchboards enable the use of several communication devices: telephones, faxes, answering machines and automated enquiry systems.
Unified Communications offer a complimentary solution to traditional phone systems; communication through a single application or service that can make use of a combination of instant messaging, email, faxing, data sharing, VoIP and video collaboration from the same User Interface. Having a single platform for all communication services helps organisations track use and manage cost more efficiently, empowering staff to take advantage of the unified experience and increase productivity.
HYDROGEN FUEL CELL
A fuel cell is a device that generates electricity through an electrochemical reaction, not combustion. In a fuel cell, hydrogen and oxygen are combined to generate electricity, heat, and water. Fuel cells are used today in a range of applications, from providing power to homes and businesses, keeping critical facilities like hospitals, grocery stores, and data centers up and running, and moving a variety of vehicles including cars, buses, trucks, forklifts, trains, and more.
Silver Ridge believe that these fuel cells represent an important breakthough in reducing waste both in our environment and atmosphere. The systems produce a clean, reliable and quiet source of power, empowering other green technology power sources and further offset the nation’s carbon footprint.
Protecting critical resources is an important aspect of an organisation’s security posture. With more threat types automated every day, always-on infrastructure can be under a constant barrage of attacks- only one of which needs to succeed to produce disastrous consequences.
Endpoint security is usually what people think of when protecting a network; it reflects measures they may take with personal devices or their own networks at home. Having an antivirus solution present on end-user devices is a requirement of most companies, but is not in itself enough to protect the network. Modern endpoint solutions will operate proactively, attempting to block threats before they arrive on a system using a variety of detection techniques. Some will send unknown files for analysis on a cloud-based system before permitting them to make changes on an end point, while others rely on virus signature databases updated every hour.
Data Server protection has risen as threats have evolved to target critical operation points within organisations, either to encrypt data and hold to ransom or to gradually extract confidential/personal information over time. Malware development is big business, with criminal organisations seeking access to any server data to be sold on the dark web. All organisation’s should invest in adequately protecting their assets in the face of more advanced attack techniques.
