Systems Management

mac-tech can manage services provided or hosted by 3rd parties:

  • DNS Management:
    A well written DNS zone file is a necessity in order to reliably deliver and receive your domain’s web and email traffic. Many of our clients hand over responsibility for DNS management to us and we manage any changes to their network, both public and private. We pay attention fast DNS resolution on your LAN by deploying a local DNS server. We also handle domain registrations and transfers.
  • Email Flow:
    One critical element for the reliability of your email system is to keep your domain off anti-spam blacklists - and to respond quickly if your mail is ever rejected due to blacklisting. With the importance of email communications and the maturing of Anti-Spam technology each organization needs to keep a close eye on email usage. We provide “best practices” documents for acceptable email usage to our clients and avoid being blacklisted due to common mistakes.
  • Co-location Services:
