SK Chilled Foods

SK Chilled Foods Limited are based in Middlesbrough and provide pre-packed, chilled foods to supermarket chains such as Asda, Morrissons and Tesco. With 4 locations in Middlesbrough and a requirement to centralise all IT services in the Head Office, SK needed to find a solution which would allow remote sites access without compromising security.

NetPilot Enterprises are located at two main sites with a NetPilot Plus at a smaller remote site all connected to the Internet with broadband connections. All three are linked together to provide a secure private network across which all sites access centrally located servers. The NetPilot Enterprise at Head Office scans all incoming e-mails for virus infections then passed them on to the corporate Microsoft Exchange Server.

Remote staff and home workers also use the Virtual Private Network to access the corporate network remotely to access e-mail and other important information without compromising the secure of the system.

Installed for over 2 years, the NetPilots now form a key part of the corporate network for this major food manufacturer.

John Blackburn

John Blackburn Limited are a Leeds based printing and direct marketing business providing services to some of the UK’s largest banking institutions as well as other high street names such as fast food outlets and shops. With a site in Leeds containing over 100 PC’s and a complex set-up of Microsoft based servers, the company needed a way to secure the SDSL connection to the Internet as well as scan the vast number of e-mails received for viruses before delivery to end users.

The NetPilot Enterprise has fulfilled all the security requirments as well as providing staff with the ability to access their files and e-mail from any location with the use of the VPN.

Customers are now able to get large image files for printing directly onto the NetPilot via FTP meaning that whilst maintaining a secure system, John Blackburn are able to respond to clients faster and make much better use of their Internet connection.
