We give our clients the power to communicate ideas and improve business processes through personalised service, and stable and secure hardware infrastructures. synch.cc consults, develops and deploys systems and databased network solutions on both conventional proprietary and Free or Open Source Software platforms (such as GNU/Linux) using a range of integrated technologies. We look at how open source software solutions can benefit the organisation. We provide forensic system and network security audits and consultation. At synch.cc, we offer both service level (SLAs) and maintenance agreements, on-site and remote systems support and a secure network foundation for your data requirements. synch.cc - secure network communications. synchronize with today!
Serving data in the cloud
Apart from the server-based hosting offerings that synch.cc provides out of the United States, the United Kingdom and South Africa, synch.cc has added a cloud-based service solution to its product offering.
Serving via our international hosting partner's Content Delivery Network (CDN), files of any size or nature are available at local speed anywhere in the world.
Using our entry-points of datadump.co.za and distribute.co.za, we can provide a full suite of services under the umbrella of our secure-hosting.co.za suite.
Where to start with secure coding practices
Often, with coding projects that have developed organically, or with no specific security focus at the outset of the development. The question often arises where to start in securing the code one has.
The first step is to understand that there are issues to work through to retrofit security back into the code. Ideally, the code starts from a secure basis, but under some circumstances, the size or budget of the project does not allow for this.
So, how to proceed?
In terms of the code that we use to display, manage and filter user inputs before creating outputs, we know that there are a few challenges we need to mitigate in order to create a more secure data environment.
Some initial thoughts for discussion, below.
Full-Service Remote Desktop Support
synch.cc provides full remote-desktop support through the firewall onto your desktop, wherever you are, ad-hoc or as part of your service-level agreement for secure systems and network support!
The software includes full encryption, as an implemntation of RSA private-/public key exchange and AES (256 Bit) session encoding.
The key exchange also guarantees a full client-to-client data protection. This means that even the upstream routing servers will not be able to read the data stream.
Be it that you have a LAN installation or are browsing in the field on 3G / HSDPA or dial-up, synch.cc QuickSupport chooses the best display quality and speed depending on your network connection and access parameters.

Network-based system, software and hardware audits
Using client-server technology, synch.cc has launched its automated distributed systems and network audit service using technology as employed by companies such as Siemens, IBM and Lufthansa for its clients.
Synchronization and Backup, Data Replication, File Sync, Data Synchronization
Synchronization, Backup, Data Replication, PC Sync Software, Freeware, File Sync, Data Synchronization Software -- there's always a need for data transfer to keep data on two systems on the same level. Among others, rsync proves to be one such option.
cp just saps resources when transferring large volumes of data between directories. Especially on old machine memory usage spikes when the process is started and the machine becomes almost unresponsive. That’s on large volumes of data (and old hardware).
