According to Forrester, data security is the top issue for small and medium sized businesses (SMBs). As a business owner, partner, or manager you are looking for a comprehensive solution that will help you to stay ahead of ever-changing threats while minimizing resource drains so you can focus on being successful in a difficult economy.
Gemini has partnered with Cisco and Symantec, worldwide leaders in network access and protection.

Cisco Routers
Cisco routers help to defend against threats, such as malware, intrusions, and denial-of-service attacks, while maintaining high levels of network performance so you can rely on your business collaboration tools and applications. Cisco technology allows you to enable new network security features on your existing routers, apply security functions such as firewall and IPS anywhere in the network while reducing the total number of devices, which decreases ongoing support and manageability costs.
Local-area network (LAN) switches are at the core of all networks, providing high-speed connectivity, applications, and communications systems. Today’s networks not only need to efficiently and securely transmit bandwidth-intensive data, voice, video, and wireless applications, they also need to provide for evolving traffic patterns, new services, and optimized application performance.
The Cisco network management portfolio offers a broad range of technologies to fulfill a variety of needs. Network management products can help you:

- Increase business and network resources;
- Save network administrators time;
- Improve business productivity;
- Increase user satisfaction.

The Norton Security Scanner offers free antivirus scans for mobile users or if access to a fully fledged security package is not available. The free program is available through our download page here. If users suspect that malware has taken over their computer but regular antivirus software cannot detect the malicious code, the Norton Power Eraser is the way to go. The program can detect and eliminate deeply embedded and difficult to remove crimeware. However, there is a risk that the tool selects some legitimate programs for removal, so it should only be used after other options have been exhausted. The Norton Power Eraser is available as a free download here.
