Leveraging our decades of combined experience in technology and building robust IT solutions for our customers, we have established practices and technology teams in the following areas:

Java/J2ee Microsoft.Net Databases ERP Embedded Systems Network Management Network Security & Protocols
	J2EE: ASTRON provides reliable and scalable component based solutions using J2EE technologies like EJB (Enterprise Java Beans), JSP and other open technologies including XML. Through rich industry experience, our J2EE team has built an impressive knowledgebase. We help customers maximize the benefits of J2EE while minimizing the cost of application development and implementation. J2EE is a set of standards for middleware (EJB and JMS), database connectivity (JDBC), transactions (JTA/JTS), presentation (servlets and Java Server Pages) and directory services (JNDI). J2EE enables robust and flexible solutions that may be deployed across a wide range of existing enterprise systems. It positions our clients for potential future growth by allowing them to start from relatively inexpensive software and hardware and expand to distributed enterprise applications and servers, as their business expands, requiring higher processing capacity. Microsoft.Net: ASTRON’s Microsoft.Net team is dedicated to providing a comprehensive set of end-to-end eBusiness solutions based on the Microsoft® .Net platform. Our team consists of Microsoft Certified Professionals who are veterans of Microsoft technologies. We enable our customers to rapidly translate their ideas into robust businesses through a combination of our deep industry knowledge and proven experience in building business solutions based on Microsoft's .Net platform. ASTRON leverages its deep knowledgebase, decades of combined experience and a rich repository of its ready-to-use Web-Services We help you build applications that are written using the Microsoft® .Net framework. Such applications make use of Web Services (COM+ services) such as events, queued components, and security in an integrated and logical manner. The .Net Enterprise framework outlines services for in-process components such as JIT, synchronization, transactions, object pooling, constructor strings, and the shared property Group manager. Web Services are building blocks for constructing distributed Web-based applications in a platform, object model, and multi-language manner. Web Services are based on open Internet standards, such as HTTP and XML, and form the basis of Microsoft's vision of the programmable Web and .Net. Microsoft.Net provides a framework to create, deploy, scale, and maintain these Web Services. Database: ASTRON’s Database team brings years of experience in designing overall data flow strategy and defining data architecture standards including logical database guidelines. The team consists of Certified Professionals with hands on experience. Whether its providing 24x7 automated mission critical production support or implementing the database server recovery plan, customers have time and again depended on this team for their respective needs. ASTRON has been involved in handling the entire spectrum from database design to the physical implementation and managing database servers. We work in close conjunction with customer teams. ERP: We facilitate clients with assessing current processes and systems, ERP cost/benefits, identifying their functional requirements, developing RFP's, searching for candidates, evaluating responses to RFP's, selecting, implementing state-of-the-art ERP systems, integrating new systems with streamlined processes. We are strong with ERP implementations, because we are intimate with Financials, HR, Manufacturing and distribution processes at the detailed work instruction level. We offer various services and applications as part of our Supply Chain Management consulting portfolio for ERP implementation efforts. Embedded Systems: ASTRON’s Embedded Systems team designs and implements robust, flexible and object-oriented solutions that satisfy the full spectrum of distributed requirements, from inter-processor communication through interoperability with enterprise applications. The world is becoming a more connected place, and the devices people are connecting with, as well the infrastructure that enables it, are dominated by embedded computers. As embedded systems become more interconnected, the ability to rapidly develop distributed applications has become critical to today's embedded developer. ASTRON’s embedded team helps build solutions for organizations integrating heterogeneous systems. The team has extensive design and implementation knowledge in real-time Operating Systems such as VxWorks, VRTx, Nucleus, pSoS and OSE. Our expertise in the use of the ICE and other hardware and software based debuggers has helped reduce debugging time and thus time to market considerably. Embedded networking systems have special requirements. We have extensive experience in fixing bugs related to design flaws, erroneous implementations and design changes in various areas like chassis management, network processors and micro-code development. Network Management: Network Management as a term has many definitions dependent on whose operational function is in question. We make sure that the business case requirements drive the implementation and not the implementation driving the business cases. ASTRON has expertise in the following areas: Embedded SNMP Agent development CLI based embedded management using Rapid Logic Embedded Web server based device management GUI based management using AdventNet, HP Openview and Sun Net manager. ASTRON’s Network Management team consists of industry pioneers, who design and built network management systems for various types of devices like hubs routers, switches. We have an in depth knowledge of protocols required to manage any particular device. Our implementations include router discovery and protocol configuration for Router management systems and various applications like: Fault Management Configuration Management Accounting Performance Management Security Management Network Security & Protocols: Our Network Security and Protocols team has done extensive work in the areas of: Traffic control and QOS Management in the internet Voice over IP and Voice over ATM Telecom protocols SS7, GSM, GPRS, CDMA, BroadBand, V5.2/V5.1. Frame Relay LAPD, Multiprotocol Encapsulation implementation ATM PVC Network interworking implementation agreement Routing protocols RIP, OSPF, BGP, IGRP, IP Multicast Routing All issues related to internet protocols, IPSpoofing, Cybersquatting, IPfaxing, etc.
